Nothing Changes

I’ve done everything they said I would
Become everything they said I could
I was raised believing I’m no good
I’m scared I’ll never make it out of the hood

But I’m still me
Me
Someone tell me otherwise
Someone feed me velvet lies
Someone hold me, help me get through the night

Look at me I’ve barely aged
Father, tell me I’ll be saved
Find me someone
Point the finger and blame

That isn’t me!
Me!

I am everything the voices say
I cry but never do I feel the pain
I’m not you, I’ll never be the same
Pinch me or I might fade away

Am I still me?
Me?

Shut the door, And leave me here
I’ve given into all my fears
If they ask you tell them I’ve disappeared

They take away everything I give
But no, not once, I never hated it
If I could I'd give my will to live

Don’t be like me
Me
