I didn't like how you raised me
it was crazy and I became what you made me.

You don't say you love me maybe it's all that guilt
how can you say you love a monster you help built

time heals all wounds but time can a prison
the less you enjoy things and the more time you realize you're missing

I remember being a happy kid
eating cereal and watching cartoons a great life to live

the stress of the world didn't get to me
in my zone nobody could mess with me

back to time, doing it because of crime
bad shit flooded my mind
I was a boy who was looking for what I needed to find

from Camden, where drugs was a way of life
and murder ruled the night

life was easy until in came my uncle
I was a kid but he was like a new level of uncomfortable

my safety was stripped and so was my clothes
he punctured my soul my life had holes

I screamed for help I needed my mom's love that was enough
she helped but I felt it was a way to shut me up

damaged goods misunderstood
I never felt I could because of the hood

taking my life would have been too easy
almost shot in the head to be dead would have pleased me believe me

I'm taking a stroke cough in my throat
I need hope, someone throw me a rope

I got older I got bigger
my everyday bullies was intimidated by my imposing figure

I fell in love twice and that shit was nice
one was a change in my life the other I consider my wife

Im broken and bleeding
my life was receding and I was repeating

I met some good friends and had a great chance
I cant wait for my wedding with the love of my life and my first dance

abuse almost killed me and the anger revealed me
I've been baptised before but the water feels filthy

Ive been slapped in face
but now I can smile and say thanks
because I got what it takes
