Fire water
If you wanna know how I'm feeling just sit on down by my side. I'll tell you a story of the evil that's ruled my life until now.
walking around with this dark cloud.
Wake up one night in terror...
just a kid all alone & in bed, walked to the kitchen to see what was the matter...
Heard shrieks & some clatter...
Pleads for help...
My mother was held by her throat by a man with a dagger in hand, all I heard was yelling in my head...
He told me he'd take her life if I didn’t go back to bed...
Saw the glass on the floor couldn't walk any further...
Turned back around to see blood on the walls (smears & splatter)
On the ceilings on the rugs...
This is what happens when your moms a crack head...
Was taken away me and my brother, put in a home, raped & molested.
And even though they heard our cries no one contested.
