[Verse 1: Illogic]
Looking back, I was one of those cats with mad baggage
Lugged around luggage loaded with tears and bad habits
For years depression was embedded in my make-up
I had a sleep-walking existence, wasn’t tryna wake up
Self-esteem was a dream that soon became a nightmare
Consumed with death, felt unworthy to breathe the night air
At times I’d rather die than hold hands with happiness
Tired of having my heart ripped out by actresses, friends who showed they didn’t care, a father who wasn’t there
I had so much to say, the pain was all I could share
The rain made the puddle mirror so clear ’til I had my emotional wreck with no airbags in the middle of nowhere
I saw life as a setback and death as progression
Life was a burden, thought death was release
Tragedy seems to strike me in succession
But I knew the lock on the cage would break if I sang in the right key
In the midst, married at 21 on top of all this
We had love ‘cause we had a son and that’s about it
I wasn’t acting as a husband with a child should
Still wild out, combing the crowd, tryna find my childhood
My shoulders couldn’t handle the weight of responsibility
I was in danger of doing what my father did to me
Now things wouldn’t be right without the pain and strife
Thank god for the jaws of life, uh
[Chorus: Matisha Worthy]
I know you would like to ask me something ‘bout my future
In time I will answer, in time I will answer all those things
I know you would like to ask me something ‘bout my past
In time I will answer, in time I will answer all those things
