First Born



am I wrong because I made dumb mistakes?
how could I let them take your breath away?
would your face look just like my face?
now you're gone.
erased.

one more sleepless night.
intellect vs. emotion.
my heart points in one direction but my mind still chose another.

be strong.
be strong for the life that's lost.
be strong for the others.
be strong for the life that's lost because here will be no other.

I wonder who you could have been.
eraser....erased.

no more sleepless nights.
the darkness opens my eyes to the light.
don't waste your time with mixed emotions... stick with your decision.

I'm strong.
I'm strong for the life that's lost.
I'm strong for the others.
I'm strong for the life that's lost because there will be no other.

Picture a little seed looking just like me, growing up in straight up poverty.
cope without necessities.
eventually resenting me for the way that things turned out to be.
hell no, that shouldn't be.
ya'll niggas don't know me, ain't shit that ya'll could show me.
word is bond I done been through it all before.
see, throughout my 18 years I have seen things most of ya'll wouldn't even dream,
Never mind believe.
so don't come to me with your speeches on how things could be,
Because I've already seen it.
Believe that.
