The world revolves around me. I am the limelight This is my life, what I like. All about my needs A small town girl with a worldwide view set Frankly, this is for me. I don't care whether you've heard my music Cant really see myself as anything else at this point I'm twenty but in my heart I still view myself as a boy Cause I'm strong. Dammit I didn't want to be this damaged. And I will never complain about what I was and wasn't handed I see these pictures of these people with their parents. Mom and dad I no longer speak to my mother. I can't remember a time where I always have After everything we went thru its hurts and it just got hard to act Like fighting for me was worth it, so she started talking smack Now I'm that daughter that nobody ever planned Now I'm that daughter that stole from you all your plans And I'll admit getting blamed for this I've gotten sick of But truth is, I'm that kid you shouldve gotten rid of You never had my back. You just hid behind it Whenever life attacked. I'd get in to fight it Everything for you. Tell me that this isn't true Tell me that I didn't try to protect your image in all id do (x2) while all you did was ignore mine without no interest Every issue youd go thru I'd call mine too Didn't think I'd self destruct after I'd tell the truth Then years later I fell in love with someone just like you That person snatched the best years of my life then left mine too Couldn't give no more to either of ya, but deep down I guess I knew Cause I'm maaaad dammit What did I get my hands in Momma I love you so much But this is something you'll never understand and This is why I'm mad, it ain't about you The life we had, we made it out, who Woulda thought we would've conquered what it Did to us, but why did u stop loving me in the process of it Why do you make me feel like i wasnt struggling? Like what i was dealing with was nothing, I wasnt healing i was BUGGIN Every problem, every outburst i would keep it in my stomach Couldnt rest, barely slept, awake every evening after sunset Daddys working late, momma too depressed to serve us up a plate And who the hell knows how I ended up performing on a stage It wasn’t until that evening while you were I sleeping I snuck into your room, sunset coming thru I was going thru your drawers looking thru some forms Bottle after bottle and I questioned if those pills were really yours I stormed out the room didn’t really close the door Threw my sneakers on hands over my face sitting on the porch All those years I asked God why you didn’t love me more And I didn’t realize you didn’t feel fine, my problems became yours Ive done and said things no other mom would think forgive complaining about not being loved when my momma really did

Hung a frame of you up on my wall above my bed So you're with me when I'm up thinking of nothing at all I'm so hard on myself because this loss wasn't so small I came back home and never called you. I wasn't a friend. How dare I think I had the bare right to want to prepare myself to see you with your face staring up eyes closed. I was scared as hell. Why you. Why now. Why go? You were the funniest man that id known Bottle in your hand I can see you by the bridge Who wouldve thought love for your land would lead to all of this Men approaching you funny was not part of the plan They heard you got money on hold. Not no more. Chopped off your hands The agony you start to demand them to stop But how. Vision getting blurry They grab you by your hands and knees and then you dropped Puddle by the river currents start running even the fish are in a hurry Walking down my block I see my dad posted up My smile became denial nah that's not what's up What I tell you bout them Jokes so annoyed by them Walked in to see momma tears on the floor and I joined right in Booked the next flight but something wasn't clicking They claim my uncle killed himself while chugging on the liquid Run up to his casket but I don't think he heard me thru the sniffling Families a touchy subject. murderer was in the kitchen Funny when it hits you cause you struggle to accept it Everybody wanting seconds is their something that I'm missing Spent that week at Maria's and it became so clear How your wife going to claim to be happier now that her bae's not here? I'm no stranger to the juice and the anger it induces I have no need for it . my troubles are handled in my music my brother starts chatting and theirs a turning in my stomach When he admits to knowing who it was but how u deserved what u had coming Never have I cried so much Waking up that's if I slept to my eyes sown shut When I die imma leave you the house and the cattle to raise I laughed as we ate those tamales that sat on my plate Nobody talked to me like you did. A star from the jump And I'll never forget the love you showed to Uncle Mario's son Cause a kid ain't to blame for the errors of the grown Then again, that's something I learned better on my own
