Come Talk to Me

Come and talk to me, understand my pain Look in my eyes and understand the rain Walk in my shoes and understand my feet Instead of looking at me, trying to judge me You don't know what I been through and why I fight so hard You don't understand how it feels, trapped behind these bars And why these wounds feel good and hurt at the same time Come and talk to me, can't you see I'm dying He walks with a smile, but inside it's a mug He tries to be a church boy, but inside he's still a thug He was fired from his job, so he thinks of selling drugs He holding on by a thread that was stitched with love He looks up above But where's the white dove It's pigeons up there, savaging for bread And vultures flying around, waiting for the dead He's really trying to pray, but its problem after problem He looks to the bible hoping it could solve them It used to be his life line, but now there just words It used to make sense but now it seems absurd Lord him see your face and help him hear your words Come and talk to me, understand my pain Look in my eyes and understand the rain Walk in my shoes and understand my feet Instead of looking at me, trying to judge me You don't know what I been through and why I fight so hard You don't understand how it feels, trapped behind these bars And why these wounds feel good and hurt at the same time Come and talk to me, can't you see I'm dying He was docile as a child Wasn't raised wild Had a mother who made him smile But molested a juvenile And that changed his life The world was less colorful, more like black and white The hood made him mean but that made him hate Couldn't get what he wanted so pleasure was his plate Didn't have friends cause they teased him every day Didn't have a girl cause he thought that he was gay Couldn't hang around guy didn't want to be that way The night became his friend, cause he hid from the day But the darkness started to fester and infected his mind He thought about death all of the time Kill them, kill them, it went around his mind Kill them, kill them, it went around his mind Kill them, kill them, it went around his mind Kill them, kill them, it went around his mind Come and talk to me, understand my pain Look in my eyes and understand the rain Walk in my shoes and understand my feet Instead of looking at me, trying to judge me You don't know what I been through and why I fight so hard You don't understand how it feels, trapped behind these bars And why these wounds feel good and hurt at the same time Come and talk to me, can't you see I'm dying Sex became his validation Drugs became his habitation Drunk for no occasion Hustling occupation Self-stimulation Smoking or starvation Limited aspirations No revelation A mental castration Living on plantations Stuck in rotation Living in frustration These are the results of a mind that was taken And this is who I was before a new creation I dare you to doubt god when you look into my face And see that I am holding on only by his grace And heaven or hell, it's all just a test And when I tell you I'm dying, I'm killing my flesh
