But Still I Try

How can I find
A place for myself in this fucking life?
All my childhood friends
They figured it out in time and are doing fine
But I stand alone
And I look beyond and see nothing
There’s nothing for me
Where am I to go? Who am I to be?
It’s easy to regret
My path and decisions that I’ve made
I can’t change the past for myself
But I won’t let it keep me caged
This gloom, it lingers
for 25 fucking years
And I can’t shake these thoughts away
It will never disappear
But still, I Try every day to find peace within
With these battles inside my head
Maybe There’s Solace
If I never wake up again
But still I try
every day
But still I try
let me be

The Difference

Just a fool with a heavy hand
Talk down on us when things don't go as planned
Your self-importance is what I can't stand
As you're bound to cross that fucking line in the sand
A false light is what you put us in
You put yourself on top through all the lies you spit
Turn around and you go put up a front
See through your fucking disguise, it's the attention you want
So what am I supposed to do?
When the world I love is controlled by you?
You can't tear me apart
The difference between us is you don't have the fucking heart
Resentment's all you feel
When you see I've made my dreams come real
While you sit on your ass and complain to yourself
Your obsession for this life is only bad for your health
Your facade in time will fade
We see your fragile state of mind
Only here to break your frame
And all you'll have is your fucking pride
Run your fucking mouth
See how long it takes
For us to rip that stupid smile off your fucking face
Won't play by all your rules
That bullshit won't be your excuse
Don't get this shit confused
You Can't Keep Up and that's on you
That's on you, motherfucker

Hospitals, schools, torn down by war
Children to slaughter, what’s it all for?
Bomb the homes where the families are sleeping
Find in the rubble life no longer here
Blood on your hands, violence consumes
Force-feed your hatred,hide from the truth
Kill ‘til the end with the missiles you drop
Nobody wins when everyone’s gone
Refugee camps, not out of your fucking reach
You aim for your targets, innocence under debris
“We have to choose whether to share this land or to share the graveyard underneath it”

On your own
Wish you would have everything in control
Fall apart as the days go by
Searching for another reason to die
I can’t stand to see you like this
The world failed you it's not your fault
But I’ll be right here
I won’t let you fall
True strength comes
From struggles life will throw
Stand side by side
Know you’re not alone
Take my hand
I know it’s hard to comprehend
That we aren’t meant to win
But we’ll still try again
I’ll fight for you and I
No matter what it costs
Until my heart stops

You knock us down, you stomp our heads
You spit on us then walk away
You call us slurs, a fucking plague
And all because you point the blame
Assault on those that can't defend
The frail and old, you have no morals
You think you're tough, you coward bitch?
Then come my way, I'll fucking hurt you
Another victim
Of racism and violence
You view my mother
A scapegoat for your ignorance
Parents, children, elders
You don't care who you kill
Come for my family
I'll guarantee your fucking end
I'll guarantee your fucking end

Father's Son

Living the life of the American Dream
A world away and nothing’s what it seems
A first-generation war refugee
All their hope is too far for us to seize
Graveyard shifts far away from home
Fights over bills takes a toll on them both
A second language still no one understands
All the sacrifices made just to get where I am
A Father’s Son
You turn your back for no one
You always let your heart be shown
You never had a youth
Escaped to find your truth
You had nothing to lose
Your story will never conclude
Fatherless son
You never had help from anyone
You made your way all on your own
