LYRICS

Where should I start telling tales from this heavy heart
2nd of November 1998
or the second time my mother tried to end it
cus the pain wouldn’t subside
see I’ve been born 2 times

where should I start when I’ve never had nothing to begin with
but I guess that’s why they call it humble beginnings
sick of doing shit from scratch and getting nothing back
that’s nothing new in the past ignorance is bliss

I knew nothing that little something couldn’t last as time past
I got more rattled by these battle scars some were self inflicted
tryna stretch an inch into a mile
ignored my intuition peace of mind I was tail chasing mine kid was over thinking didn’t know there’s nothing to this life

where should I start naive boy with bright plans
pristine soul just a bystander to see himself
get walked over a time lapse of his worst moments
introverted with a loud mouth that’s a bad omen inadvertently lost all doubt

he was once hopeful it’s all jokes till the last laugh
lucky me I got a bad hand
ugly scenes in my city pretty bad couple fiends in the alleys picking scabs no love lost looking for a plan ducking karma

I was Ill advised image in my eyes of my demise
I cracked violence inside sirens outside strange boy
straight out the northside no for sight
no chance so lemme start
