Michael "Mic Bminor" Brooks - Internal Bleeding lyrics

The 22nd Day of the 5th month In the year 1989 12:53 was the time A Young mind was instituted to the school of life A gift from God to a young man and his wife Their skin color was the opposite of white So to get where they got financially they had to fight And despite, what economy said Pop brought the bread and put my momma through school She got her masters back in 92 That's the first year I played an instrument for the ma**es 3 years old on the drums, no prior cla**es Just trash lids and practice for the young prodigy And the musical genes from my momma and my daddy At the tender age of 5 I began piano lessons Thought about quitting but my pops kept me in And kept on pushing me Cause he could see his son's anointing, pointing In the direction of his son's unusually musically Occupied mind, it was there that he would find The one key that would unlock a unique creativity Potentially, greater than his own Which is what he would condone Just as long as I took this gift past an "if" in life n***a! I bet my life sounds like a fairly tale But let me tell you n***as y'all don't know me very well But Very well, let me scoot this story along To what went wrong with our seemingly, promising character The day was the first day of the 6th grade And y'all should know this day because it's better known as scrub day And on this day, some 8th grades thought this day was the best day To f** with young n***as like me Now picture me, tall and skinny with my friends which were not many Out there sitting waiting for lunch to end We weren't expecting like birds resting sh** We were sitting ducks That just so happened to be near a trash can Our situation really s**s So they ran up on us but I ain't no wuss Cause I was watching BET all summer, so I fought back Now we fighting no security in sight and Next thing you know I'm on the wall with a knife at my neck That's when the boy got in my face and said "You Better Learn your Place" But by God's grace they ran away cause a teacher was checking The situation out because he heard somebody shout "Help!" Because there was a fight occurring So he asked me and my friends was it us That was out here fighting on the yard just a few seconds ago Best believe and trust that I should've told But the unwritten "n***a law" of no snitching suggested "no" Along with that decision had come another To guarantee that this would never happen by no other So I let my grades slip unlike my sister and brother But the person I seemed to be hurting the most was my mother My disappointed father tried to whoop me straight But my mind was corrupted by then It was too late I didn't care about my life or my fate So my unknown potential was clouded by my mind state So as a last resort Pop resorted to moving me from my humble abode to his sister's house Then he checked me into school With the gangsters and criminals in training Against the begging wishes of his spouse The first day I was quiet as a mouse But soon as accepted me the homies brought me out You know Teaching me all about All the things I knew not of Such as gangs, d**, getting money and making love In half a year I learned so much from them But it was my time to move away from them Cause the Lord heard my mom praying And helped me raise my grades Like he raised his son from the grave on the 3rd day Daddy let me move back in but Little did he know that I was harboring a Demon But my mom's prayers kept it dormant But still it was absorbent of the many things in life That I'd kept in It slept in until my high school scrub day That's when I got into it, with the esse's The next day and the next day Monday through Friday For the rest of the semester drama kept coming my way Daddy checked me out and put me in another school Similar story, new sh** from the same bull But I'm the fool that used to think That my lifestyle would just sync With success up in the cla** Because I expected these teacher to pa** me When my friends would ask me did I need help I would actually make em believe That I controlled my own gravity Then I got with a b**h that was so nasty She would give me good head in between cla**es I left her for a girl that was so cla**y But she drove me "crazzy", oops I meant crazy Next thing you know my daddy kicked me out the house again And this time my daddy really Did not want to let me back in
