Uh, picking the blood off my chest, remember holding his hand first time I was ever caressed
I loved his affection, till I realized I couldn’t feel none for my brethren without being lesser
I bleed red, just the same as all men
I ain’t less a human just cause I love the rest
plant the seeds, I seek the light - photosynthesize, I try to consume what gnaws my mind
I fly high whenever I’m after the dream catchers
My soul crooked - it captures Hope and I relapse to -
old ways I’m a bastard
He holds me captive, controlled my life inspired my rapping
Mercy on my soul, what’s happening?
I’ve been trapped in deep with bad men, lost myself with the masses
Hiding who I am, a habit
How can I grasp it?
This is who I am, no man or woman present amongst this stance
Who I love ain’t a mystery in advance,
Told my momma who I was then she took the stand, so can you-
Give me a chance?
I gave it a shot now I got bloody hands,
My soul expands to those like me stuck in a trance,
Wondering if they understand, what it’s like to lock yourself away amidst the grassy lands
My life has panned for the better and for once I feel grand,
Please don’t take my freedom, rather, listen to these words and hang them up in a museum
I need some peace in my life, we come far from the light,
But still we see some glimmer of hope to turn our soul bitter and keep the fight alive
Memories of the man I had loved now withered in bad blood,
Know your feelings is valid, so I write for you this ballad, lost kid who found their balance,
No longer challenged by denial or lost talent
Accept myself only words I can inhabit, so I set free from my chains
Embrace who I am for a change, love men, women, and everything
Back to being human I deserve me a Diamond ring
Uh, back to being human I deserve me a Diamond ring.
