You’ll never understand until you’ve been there
Been down so much, that all you can manage to do now is sit there
Thinking back at all the choices that you made to get there
Pumping a fist to the sky telling god «it ain’t fair.»
But yo, he ain’t there
How could it be with all this devastation and desperation surrounding me So put me in the ground 'cause this life has just been pounded out of me The only reason I ain’t sleeping now 'cause I got mouths to feed
Why can’t I catch a break?
Why can’t I step away and wake up one morning and think that things won’t be a mess today
I gotta break the cycle somehow
Sick of this pain, im sick of living this way
Okay, I’m done now
Not having fun now, there’s just so many reasons
Feel as if my soul’s a broken puzzle and I’m missing pieces
It’s real easy for you to judge them when you see them
But you’ll never truly understand unless you’ve ever been there
I’ve been there, a place where hope was thin in the air
If things are gonna get better tell me a 'when' and a 'where'
Sitting and staring in the mirror, nobody’s there
That I know, feeling so alone and I’m scared that nobody cares
My nights consist of so many prayers
I once had so many dreams, I once was going somewhere
Try and following steps before you start to compare
Me to you and you don’t know me, now you think that that’s fair?
I never thought my path would lead me to the point I’m at now
But before they get up, some people gotta fall down
Some fall harder than others, they thought they had it all down
Me, I take these experience and jot them all down
But how do you cope when you think that hope is nowhere around?
How do you know where to go if you haven’t been found?
Yo, I’m saying it’s draining living this pain that I’m in You’re quick to judge me but you haven’t been the places I’ve been, c’mon
