A feeling so complex,
Almost impossible to define,
The constant change of heart and the war inside my mind.
A childhood lost, no identity. we left it all behind
We paid the price for a better life
Through the toil and the strife.
The same poison that ran in his veins runs in mine.
To overcome a broken past i must draw the line
And i rise above this bitter blood.
The lack of trust to the world around us,
The constant fear of never fitting in.
Made me feel like i was born to lose.
Now i will live to win.
Hours spent learning to cover up the shame.
All these fingers pointing, trying to pin the blame.
I rise above this bitter blood,
The alienation and hostility i've known.
I stand trial through the fire and the mud.
I rise above this bitter blood.
