Confessions - Live

I Have A Tale To Tell...

I Was Three Feet From The Floor

Gasping For Air

Trying To Release

My Fathers Hands From My Throat

I Looked Into His Eyes

And Wondered, If My Feet Would Ever

Touch The Floor Again

Have You Ever Been Hit So Hard That It

Sends Your Body Flying Across The Room

We All Fall To The Floor

At Some Point

It's How You Pick Yourself Up

That's The Real Challenge

Isn't?

I've Always Lived

In My Own World

And I Dance To Escape My Troubles

I've Learned That There's Light

Even In The Place Darkest Places

I Can't Blame My Father

For Anything

You Can't On Other People

To Make You Happy

But I Know Deep Down Inside, He Loved Me

There Was A Time

I Suffers So Much

I Want To Get It Out Of Me

I Would Cut My Arms,

Not To Kill Myself

I Don'T Want To Die

I Know I Am Lucky

To Be On This Earth

I Did It So The Physical Pain

Would Calm The Pain

That Was Eating Me Inside

Nothing Was Erased

I Leave With My Past

Tucked Away

Deep Inside Of Me

It Comes Out As An Explosion And...

It Invades Me

I Believe We Are

Messenger On Earth

I Believe In Angels

I Am Blessed By God

To Tell Myself

I Suffered That Much

To Become Who I Am Today

Now, You Have To Realize,

Not Only Do I Have A Family,

But Now I Have A Whole Hood

And That's Power

But I Ain't No

Grimey-Ass Nigga

I Was Never

Out To Kill Anybody

Especially When I Made

That Decision To Gang-Bang

I Just Want To Pit In

But One Day, I Was Forced

To Do Something

That Made Me Open My Eyes

And I Realized That

This Shit Ain't No Game

One Of The Homies Got Popped

And I Was Pressures

Into Doing My First Drive By

It Was Kinda Fucked Up,

The Way They Tried To Dot Me Up

Me And My Bro, We Has Headed

Back To The Eight Block

Some Homies Rolled Up

And They Asked Us To Go Somewhere

We Pulled Up To The Corner

Then He Placed A Chunky-Ass

Gun In My Ride

He Said, "You Know What To Do With It"

It's Time To Get Poppin'

For The Hood

But I Wasn't

Out To Kill Anybody...
