[Hook: Charlie] You don't know what I've been through I can teach you something that I never knew Take a seat and take some time Let me tell you what I've been through They didn't know we'd come this far Now they're looking at our battle scars Half the lies you heard ain't true So let me tell you what I've been through [Verse 1: Leondre] I have a dream to be the one I want to see upon the screen And when my son sees me I want to be the one he wants to be And honestly I'm scared, my life is like a pier People all over me the waves are closing in you see Relying on fate but what if I wait? Maybe a day but what if I'm late? I miss my ride to take me where I'm meant to go or take me home Why do I have these emotions? I don't want them please take them I'm stuck inside a hole with nowhere to go and I really hate them Damn! Do I have that much of an impact? My rhymes did that? Sometimes I wanna quit and hit back But what is there to fear? Why am I even here? Is there someone out there cause there's no one I can hear [Hook: Charlie] You don't know what I've been through I can teach you something that I never knew Take a seat and take some time Let me tell you what I've been through They didn't know we'd come this far Now they're looking at our battle scars Half the lies you heard ain't true So let me tell you what I've been through [Verse 2: Leondre] It's hard looking back but I feel the time's right
I ventured to the dark but I wanna see the light I'll lay my scars in front of you and show you what they done to me I wouldn't change what happened they have made me who I am Damn! I want to hit back I want to hit it out the park but I don't have a bat Am I out of my depth? Am I out of my league? Tell me where the exit is cause I want to leave I'm terrified to know what's at the middle of this maze If there is a God please take me from this place What's the meaning of existence? Am I stuck inside a game? What will happen when I die? Will my story r-replay? I feel a void inside me that not a thing can fill Sometimes I wanna die, cry, even want to k** What's up with these emotions? I don't wanna feel at all [Hook: Charlie] You don't know what I've been through I can teach you something that I never knew Take a seat and take some time Let me tell you what I've been through They didn't know we'd come this far Now they're looking at our battle scars Half the lies you heard ain't true So let me tell you what I've been through [Outro: Charlie] You don't know what I've been through I can teach you something that I never knew Take a seat and take some time Let me tell you what I've been through They didn't know we'd come this far Now they're looking at our battle scars Half the lies you heard ain't true So let me tell you what I've been through
