Reality sucks, too much pain

I can't explain why I wanna bash brains

Still I can see it on the other side

Got a new baby, wanna stay alive

Give what I give, give what I got

Make it worth while, cause I got another shot

Broken families that always got pain

I break the chain, refuse to be the same



Mother-did as good as you could

After all the abuse I still understood

Three times divorced, and three times a kid

Gave us more love than our father ever did

Now we've all grown and moved along

Tried to forget, but my brother did me wrong

But it's real hard to put it all behind me

It's like a tattoo frozen in a memory

I can't seem to erase the stain

In my brain, things will never be the same

I remember all the lies, f__ked up, now I realize

Never had a chance as a kid, I was a man

Fight after fight wasn't really what I planned



Father! 

Whoever you are 

Beat my mother down, all I see is scars

And memories - what about me?

Throw me through a window for watching TV

Where did I get this anger?

Where did I get this hate?

And where did I get my temper?

Now I'm gonna show my faith

(huh) Never will I be like you, be like you

F__ked up, that sh_t - I'm staying true



My family, true to my family

I'm true to my family

True to my family

Stay true

True to my family

Stay true, stay true

True to my family

Stay true

True to my family

Stay true, stay true

True to my family

True

True to my family

Stay true, stay true

True to my family

Stay true

True to my family

Stay true, stay true



Never will I be like you, never will I be like you [repeat to end]
