2ru3 Passin' Thru
[Verse]
Born with a soul seemingly destined and headed for pain
Trying to make sense of all the heartaches, burdens and strain
Making notes of my afflictions, past wounds and scars
Recollecting times I cared for others while neglecting my heart
Though I approach with pure intention, as evil I'm seen
Casted in light crafted by darkness leaving truth unseen
My intention was to never hurt or burden my brother
Only to help him grow in wisdom and loving instruction
Cautious, from the ones I seek to nurture and grow
Nauseous, from the pain circulating my soul
How can I give so much love with so little to gain
Betrayed by those who promised they would never go stray
There were times when I called and I pleaded for peace
And only, dark images started running to me
Cold nights steady shivering, while tossing and turning
Seeking relief from these heavy burdens
[Chorus]
Through life I've been scarred, beaten, tattered and bruised
Yet and still, I'm passing through
Mistreated, seen as a demon through a lens untrue
Yet and still, I'm passing through
Through life I've been scarred, beaten, tattered and bruised
Yet and still, I'm passing through
My heart filled with such pain man it's hard to move
Yet and still, I'm passing through, I'm passing through
[Verse]
Everybody seeking love, at least how to receive
But in love it seems no one is really willing to lead
How can you love when you living life solely for self
And never, taking a minute to care for nobody else
Don't get it twisted thinking love is all wrapped up in your feelings
It has it's place, but most of all lives in your daily decisions
Comprehending the attention, from the soul of another
Looking to, simply up-build and strengthen each other
Shame to those who misuse it and abuse it for gain
Imprisoning a persons life through manipulative ways
Creating painful situations nearly leading to crisis
Causing, so many people now to go suicidal
Never thinking in our minds that our life is worthwhile
Feeling being under the dirt is better than seeing sunshine
My soul deeply empathizes with the pain you display
I pray and hope you shall see better days
[Chorus]
[Verse]
Why the pain and all the suffering, innocence struggling
To remain within the soul of a child new coming
To a world that he didn't make, shape or create
Yet already has a plan to pull him different ways
Presenting imagery of innocence, mingled and laced
With hidden messages and undertones to lead him astray
As the days pass by and he continues to grow
A point in time arrives when deep inside he wars with his soul
Without foundation of the truth and a sense of stability
He'll crumble and fall victim while his spirit is sickening
Never knowing what it means to be himself and free
Following footsteps of the blind who still claim they can see
To be a king is a dream for which he fiends and wishes
Yet the world got him blind to the fact a king is within him
Chasing riches, women, fame amassing living in vain
Only in death to recognize of living he never did taste, hey
