I used to be on drugs
I used to drink my problems away...
There are new bridges
Worn bridges...
In life there is pain...but in pain there is proof...
Constantly ashamed of my life and haunted nightly...
Why did I have to be born...
Each man, woman, and child
A hero in their own right...
If I choose to be
A black man or a black woman...
With a heart full of pain,
and a mind full of shame...
Do you know what it's like,
to cry yourself to sleep at night...
I once heard a stream
That rippled a tune...
Beware the ides of march
could parch ones soul of baleful decay...
They say when you cry it do 2 things
1. It'll release you from suffering...
What happens when your life comes falling down
Do you crash and burn or start climbing again...
