SCARS FOR LIFE.

from THE END OF A WORLD. by Tobi the Prodigy

lyrics

old myself I wouldn’t do this
Told myself I’d get through this
I sit and fall when I’m excluded
I exhale when I’m fuming
Started using again, drunk as fuck momma calling me an addict, that’s tough
But it ain’t the end
Slit my arms till I bleed and I hear cries of my relief
I hear him talking my sleep, I feel her hands avoiding me
I’m rolling in the deep, seeing visions of times that went extinct
I let my trauma control me
Ten years of age seen three dead in my face convinced this my fate
Pastors turn to dope fiends, brothers cope with coke or lean
Did I tell you about my child?
Baby momma had a miscarriage I was in denial, whether being a parent would ignite my fire
I’m powerless, she cut ties with me never saw her again
If I had a son I’d name him after me, Tobi was on the list
Hence why I changed my name to it, in honor of my kid
Who wouldn’t see the light of day, only shine I get is when the lighter get lit
I found a lover, April Twenty Seventh fell in love and never put anything above her
Got kicked out, sent to a ward there she was suffering in hunger
Too needy, conception of love ruined cause my heart started beating
She needed time, she needed support and I couldn’t handle a nickel or a dime
And who am I?
I gave up on this long ago
Made Smile for you yet I wasn’t transformed
I swore I wouldn’t let go, but the blues had me
And tragedy struck me deeper into a hole
Are you happy?
Tempt me, I asked how could I ever use you?
I know you’ve been abused too
So come back, I swear I’d could prove, I’m better than what your used to
But diamonds ain’t forever baby
