Gem in the ruff but ain’t shown it enough
Rebel by mind but conforming by sight
Warm by nature but you won’t know til later
That’s assuming you look beyond what this life taught you
Everybody can change but only if they want to
Why oh why do we expect so much of ourselves?
Cuz that last rejection turned our plans to dust on the shelves
You can’t blame me for being far from ideal
I have been wasting so much time pretending I know how I feel
If fear leads to anger, to hate, to a life worth ending
Then at yourself you must look, cuz fuck preaching, my style’s venting
But for good intentions, I talk loud and say FAR from nuthin
And never did, y’all don’t know shit about me, stop frontin
And you know you want to give me as many chances needed
Without me the world’s been empty so no wonder we screamin’
This is real. I don’t brag. Not the arrogant type.
But get back, the real me broke free, and I’m here to fight
