lyrics

mama had a nervous breakdown when i was young
in the next room hearing voices where they come from
you don't expect to hear many choices raised in the slums
don't accept being voiceless don't bite your tongue
molested and neglected wont trust no one
affected living reckless daddy its your son
where im from to be to be abused is a sign of weakness
don't be stunned or confused cant hide the secret
drowning in liquor pain is mine to keep it
aint the sign sound of the quitter cant hide defeated
same depressed kid with the chip on his shoulder
oh yes it is will he maintain or fold up
woke up with a hang over on a stain sofa
man if i could express it could obtain closure
what don't kill you make you stronger im on steroids
so when the night is over the days something you cant avoid

Gone is today
wasn't put here to stay
baby don't cry
tomorrows alive

when i was 12 i wore a kufi made Ramadan
now im in hell smoking loosies trying stay calm
they say you tell the truth drinking i stay drunk
you got no heart when you sober boy you a punk
i need you like a hole in the head and broken bones
a critic aint going to get mama out the nursing home
spit it like i was cursed when i was born
so vivid the way i paint it how could i be wrong
pops was a Muslim still smoke the pipe
daddy i aint mad i aint holding a gripe
spent nights on the train barely eating
explain you aint surviving unless you cheating
its crazy hearing you lazy underachieving
wasted my life rhyming what was the reason
whats righteous about starving be poor aint appealing
we all thru stress by happy you breathing

Gone is today
wasn't put here to stay
baby don't cry
tomorrows alive 2x

Brother in creedmoore mother on Prozac
father who smoke crack they bother you wrote that
a part of soul snatch your heart is a cold latch
that only opens when you hoping you can go back
lose yourself in music hope to disappear
don't be stupid just pursue it why you sitting there
Allah why im here no stable career
past we cry so much we aint able to tear
i spent two years on a therapist chair
im bent who cares this time fear wont interfere
sarcastic perhaps its to hide imperfections
relapses relax kid its not just depression
he practice laughs i can see the progressions
the fact is last overcame his rejections

Gone is today
wasn't put here to stay
baby don't cry
tomorrows alive
