[Verse]
Now it's time for a lesson, humility degrading at a rapid rate
A bout with depression, family insinuating I'm a basilisk weight
What? Fuck that shit! Never been so, hoping they'd all look past this hate
Hapless way, led down the darkest road Do Si Do with dealers, target home
South Side, sent to schools that didn't give a shit about my labors academic in a battle, quit
Thought that was it? Nowhere close
I was forced, medications overdose
I lost my shit, almost turned a ghost
No support, well, it hurt me most
Now, all alone, just a pen and a dream in my mind when I stare and slowly drone
Hold me close, I can't take the voices anymore, I'm done
19 years of battered pleading, met with lots of laughter, tears, and mostly shun
I don't know, nowhere to go, no direction, hopefully luck
Guess I was better off living in the slums of Memphis, Tennessee, or something

[Outro]
Fuck...
