I hope this pain inside my heart Won't set me apart Its tearing me apart Its tearing me apart I hope this pain inside my heart Won't set me apart Its tearing me apart Its tearing me apart Feels like Pain is all I know I can't let it go I've Tried many times before Yet I hold it close Wish it would just leave me alone but it's hitting home When I think about those days We had left our own No Power Heat No clothes to put on What we gone eat Soup that's served old Heat it up across the street Pretending nothings going on I will never forget the days that we spent on Holyoke Momma making ends meet Raised us on her own No Man I guess that just leave me Forced to play that role Standing tall like a tree hard English oak Every leaf upon my tree broad it was hope We had Hope for change To make it through the rain For rainbows in the end Never to be there again We had hope for more Better than we were before At least we have a bed Use to be to auntie jolly's floors And I'll never forget that Keeping it under wraps I been holding this shit back Told mother I got us I promise I meant that Keep it in the rear view mirror Doing 80 I ain't never gone look back On baby I'm just sitting with my thoughts Trying to make amends With reality, it bends A lot y'all could understand Those who don't will just pretend We just marching in our band Hand in hand until the end Blamed my father all these years Never let them see my tears Holding on to all that pain Head on with my biggest fears The baggage that comes with my name I'm speaking from a dark place and heart ache This the life we living But we did not choose to partake in it I hope this pain inside my heart Won't set me apart Its tearing me apart Its tearing me apart I hope this pain inside my heart Won't set me apart Its tearing me apart Its tearing me apart
