Straight From The Heart

[Hook}
As I walk this land of broken dreams (Dreams)
I have visions of many things (So many things)
But happiness is just an illusion (Just an illusion)
Filled with sadness and confusion

[Verse 1]
My adolescence was filled with blessings
But not the kind that you think yeah I learned
My lessons so let me take it back to where them burdens pressing
Which nobody ever seen I was behind curtains stressing
Did the woman of your life ever try to take her life?
The one that's suppose to teach you the wrong from the right
Did you ever go hungry all day and every night?
I was only eight years old but I knew this wasn't right
Cause you were spending all our money on smack and dope but
I guess you could never have enough cause we were always broke
And I thank god that I learned how to cope
With everything I seen man no fucking joke
Worst of all is I had to see you fall the
Woman I looked up to on her down fall
And I'll never tell a lie just to get some applause
But I don't really care if you think this fake or false

[Hook]

Ma I love you to the moon and back and
In fact when you went to the moon on smack
Yeah you really tried to walk but couldn't do that
And I wouldn't ever express this mess I confess
The stress only ever really pushed me to success
And my emotions were oppressed so you couldn't even guess
I was living in distress and I'm being forreal
These wounds needa heal as I ripping through the seal
That I no longer conceal
And what I reveal is oh so surreal
This Achillies heel wil never kill my will
Regardless if the battle is strictly uphill
Now here's an update right now I feel great
No longer do my shoulders have to carry all this weight
As I illustrate with no exaggeration
All this information is just my interpretation of facing salvation

[Hook]

Straight from the heart I refuse to lose
And right from the start I choose my views
Now take a fuckin second inside my shoes
And accuse these clues for causing these blues
And even if I fell when I was going through hell
I knew I would propel and that's why I excel
Facing my demons I force them to repel
Breaking out this shell so long farewell

[Hook x2]
