Yeah Came from a broken home Solved everything with violence Lately iv'e been living in a household run by tyrants Like David to Goliath I been sleeping with the lions I ain't slept in two weeks got bags under both eyelids Wishing I could drift away And wash up on an island Secluded on my own 'Cause I'm done with all the fighting Ma kept throwing fists While my dad dipped like a bitch Had no method to express myself I finally found my niche Locked inside my room While I'm working on the craft Had no method of escape So I drift away with the raps Grab the microphone And write a beat just like a raft But until the day that I leave I'll take the pain and just adapt This is the aftermath of twelve years of beatings Mind laced with scars With no chance of receding Sheltered away Writing till my pen cracked in two Jotting down the memories Of being beaten black and blue Bruises on my arm Bluer than the sky is Mom used to grab the makeup Just to fucking hide them Called out for help But no one ever offered it Only way to numb the pain Is whenever I'm off some shit Pick the pen up And start painting my canvas Lost trying to find my way With the map of Atlas So I'll take my fears and place them on a podium Keep facing the opium Until I find my utopia So id'e rather be out like a cruise ship And keep jotting down lines 'bout these bruises And keep jotting down lines 'bout these bruises And keep jotting down lines 'bout these bruises
