Album: N/A
Written By: A. Karaoghlanian

[Intro]
Yeah.
Ayo.
I just wanna say..
Don't ever judge anybody,
Until you know exactly what that person's been through.
And that's real.

[Verse 1]
It's the story of a boy, who was thrown off track
He's been down that road and he's not coming back.
His pad, is filled with memories of the past,
And his backpack, is filled with CD's to be trashed.
I hear the laughs, gotta fight with Luner
The facts would only matter if they were lies and rumors.
They owe me, they don't know me, for pretend
Jesus woke me, He spoke to me, and he said..
"I am the way, the truth, and the life"
One-Way was born, stepped in the booth to give me life.
On a search, asking for a better place to stay
But I stay in my place, like every other day..
I'm a phoenix, in the sky, flying high, I'll never die
And if I fall to my feet, I'll be reborn tonight.
The ashes have been scattered, piercing me like a dagger
They have me labeled faster, just because I'm a rapper.
Facing problems with school, not showing up to class
My dream might never come true, they woke me too fast.
From the start, it was hard, I skipped too far
I can't make music from the heart, it's been ripped apart.
--
[Chorus x2]
You know I'm tryin, always fightin'
Even when I'm cryin'
Gotta stop lyin'
I'm doing what I gotta do.

[Verse 2]
Torn to pieces, I'm speaking to my unborn children
Crucify my body, I'll be ressurected in a minute.
I do this for myself, no one else, this is music,
I quit rap every night, but I come back to it.
I don't always need a reason - deep inside I'm bleeding
"The Devil is alive, I feel him breathing"
I'm a victim of hate, they discriminate my race
When all I try to do is make music in this game.
I took a risk, a long shot - to see if I'll live or I'll die
These tapes have been stomped on, broke in front of my eyes.
I'm not cold-hearted, my chest is hollow- ain't nothing there
I try and tell this girl how I feel, but she doesnt care.
They keep me going, not knowing, what the boy is holdin'
I tell them, I'ma blow, my soul is golden.
Fresh and focused, so I won't fall to my death
*Inhale* - Tryna catch your breath..
When they realize music isn't about rhymes and punchlines
That's the day my words will be exchanged for some advice.
And they'll look up to for what I write..
And theyll look up to me when they cry..
--
[Chorus x2]
You know I'm tryin, always fightin'
Even when I'm cryin'
Gotta stop lyin'
I'm doing what I gotta do.
--
[Bridge]
I don't wanna cry..
--
[Chorus]
You know I'm tryin, always fightin'
Even when I'm cryin'
Gotta stop lyin'
I'm doing what I gotta do.
