VERSE 1

Growing up I had some lonely days
only child stuck in his lonely ways
I guess that will have to explain
why women say that I never share whats bothering me
fuck that I just deal with it on my own
read somewhere that this too shall pass on its own
broken child from broken home
pops was far away, only talked to him on the phone
I slipped right into that zone
shots with the homies the liquor would have us thrown
moving fast, nowhere to go
back then it was Marcel, John, and O
that I used to kick it with but all of us grew up quick
all went our separate ways and rarely ever kick it
different strokes for different folks
alcohol, coke or weed
they give us different ways to cope, so

CHORUS

The feeling wont escape me
it drives me crazy
it drives me crazy
thought it would never phase me
Repeat 2x

VERSE 2

Step father beating step brothers ass
because step brother do shit that's making step father mad
fuck around, step brother gone need a body bag
for fucking off everything that he ever had
really thinking that somethings wrong
with you, up in the head
you should leave all them drugs alone
and it's cool to catch a zone
but when your life aint worth shit, aint shit you could call your own, so
when you see me we aint family nigga
because I've been more of a son then you to your own daddy nigga
should be luck to even have him nigga
and on my mom, when I see you I'm bringing hands my nigga
how we end up here in this place
niggas back in the day but now I cant stand your face
you belong to a darker place
wicked niggas with wicked ways

CHORUS

The feeling wont escape me
it drives me crazy
it drives me crazy
thought it would never phase me
Repeat 2x

VERSE 3

Every year we see more Columbines
every night kids in Chicago die
everyday I read my LA Times
all I see is another victim of gun crime
I can remember back when Derick died
that was sometime before Laurence died
good kids victims of gun violence
but NRA still pushing for they're gun rights
meanwhile back on the other side
a church pastors molesting a couple of children I
question religion
it cause division
they all be sinning
but pointing at me like I'm in need of exorcism
but I forgive em
may god be with em

CHORUS

The feeling wont escape me
it drives me crazy
it drives me crazy
thought it would never phase me
Repeat 2x
