My Story Jean Grae

[Verse 1: Jean Grae]
“If I could swim a thousand lakes to bring your life back...” I write
That, but infinity can’t rewind facts. You are
Divinity. My primitive mind was struggling
Just to understand the meaning of life, forgive me
I never told my mommy, I couldn’t break her spirit. She always
Wished her daughter extraordinary thinking, so I
Traveled alone, young, sixteen, got in
The habit of not staying at home, doing the
Sad walk like Bill Bixby, a dollar fifty
Trips to the hospital so that Medicaid could fix me
I couldn’t eat shit. I fainted frequent
On cold floors and I pause and I think, “Keep it”
I’m lost. My four friends know and just
Fuck at the boys’ apartments for rent, so I’m all
Wishing that it’s a dream ending soon. I’ve actually
Erased a lot that I’ve been through

[Hook: Jean Grae]
See, when
The rain comes down
I know it’s falling for me
And only for me
And when
The pain comes around, there’s nowhere
Else I rather would be
I know what I’ve done (Please forgive me)
