First Born

Am I wrong because I made dumb mistakes?
How could I let them take your breath away?
Would your face look just like my face?
Now you're gone. erased

One more sleepless night. intellect vs. emotion
My heart points in one direction but my mind still chose another
Be strong. be strong for the life that's lost. be strong for the others
Be strong for the life that's lost because here will be no other
I wonder who you could have been. eraser....erased

No more sleepless nights. the darkness opens my eyes to the light
Don't waste your time w/ mixed emotions... stick w/ your decision
I'm strong. I'm strong for the life that's lost. I'm strong for the others
I'm strong for the life that's lost because there will be no other
Picture a little seed looking just like me, growing up in straight up
Poverty. cope w/o necessities. eventually resenting me for the way
That things turned out to be. hell no, that shouldn't be. ya'll niggas don't
Know me, ain't shit that ya'll could show me. word is bond I done been
Through it all before. see, throughout my 18 years I have seen things
Most of ya'll wouldn't even dream, never mind believe. so don't come
To me withyour speeches on how things could be, because
I've already seen it. believe that
