i remember back then back when i was so fragile my skin was so thin i found myself in a lot of trouble tried to keep my temper but i always lost it every time i thought about the punches the kicks the black eyes blood spit touching it only made it worse i tried to ignore it but all i knew was the hurt cause when you put your hands on me i felt all the hurt it took my dignity you broke me down left on my hands and knees kicking and screaming the ground cause i felt so alone i felt like nothin i felt nothing more than this wanted to lie down in the streets and just quit give it up and now that im older im learning to take the heat and dish it out colder ive been beaten and broken down its about that time that i take my life back ive been kicked when im on the ground no more beatings no more no more i used to look down on myself and its so hard to let the past go ive still got these marks of hate the ones that you put on me uncomfortable in my skin every day and night living in a nightmare i couldnt wake from if i tried running from my problems yet theyre catching up to me i was locked inside my head by my very insecurity on those lonely nights when i felt left out when no one seemed to care knew that without a doubt i would pound and i would scream until to i go cause the world made it know that my weakness was shown took a long time to see i was in my dark days and i just couldnt breathe it was hell for me 1 2 3 is the count when i would breath instead of letting it out stress beaten and broken down its about that time that i take my life back ive been kicked when im on the ground no more beatings no more no more i used to look down on myself and its so hard to let the past go ive still got these marks of hate the ones that you put on me you cannot push me anymore keep your hands away from me i want nothing more you cannot push me anymore keep your hands away from me i want nothing more mothasucka
