I Can't Win

They hated me for being someone else they hated me for being me.

They told lies about me to the whole wide world, so a hoe is all that they see.

They wrecked my confidence and lowered my self-esteem, and every person so far, I have called friend has lost their memory,

because I really can’t see how after everything, you just let it be.

Threw away the key me and you were suppose to go down in history but I guess its whatever I’m not free.

So now I take that hurt and channel it into negative energy.

Hurting the people, I care about,

Talking loud so they can hear me shout,

Talking big all for the clout.

Every day I look sick because I literally pout.

Always walking around pitying myself.

When I knew my worth but started to doubt,

Because I thought his opinion was the only one that would count,

They hated me and I hated me.

Look at the cuts on my arms and the scars on my knees,

Look at the way I carry the world on my sleeve,

You say one little word and every happy thought leaves.

God, they took everything and I mean literally everything from me,

And you watched it happen and I know that you can see, that I needed you the most and you just let me be.

I know I said let me do my own thing and I did and it didn’t roll.

Now my body count is higher than my grades.

Now when I walk around all I feel is peoples shade.

God, I need you, because your all I really got.

I know I went the wrong way but say the word and I’ll stop.

You said you would be there so I’m asking you to be my rock.

They hated me for being someone else they hated me for being me.

They told lies about me to the whole wide world so a hoe is all that they see.

They wrecked my confidence and lowered my self-esteem, but you’re the only friend who gave his life hung there on a tree.

For someone as selfish as me.
