[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
