Looking at the past I can't believe I made it out
the violence the pain the anger and the doubt
A moment of silence while my blessings I count
Left the life I lived behind for a spot in gods house
The bad decisions made hanging with the bad crowds
Finally turned around..popz are u proud of me now?
I had a change of heart saved from the man above
Never had my daddys love almost jumped in by the bloods
But I traded it all from the touch of an angels hug
That's the closest ill eva b from being a thug
Its hard to believe that I barely made it thru
Tell em ur story..turn ur attention to drew

I HAVE TO ADMIT THAT ALL SOUNDS HARD
BUT FROM WHAT I EXPERIENCED IN LIFE IS FAR MORE WORST
IMMA TAKE U BACK TO THE TIME I ALMOST TRIED TO COMMIT SUICIDE
I HATED LIFE SO FUCKIN MUCH I JUS WANTED TO DIE
I GAVE MY ALL TO EVERYONE
IN RETURN I GOT SHITTED ON
I GAVE MY HEART TO A PERSON
AND IT GOT SLAUGHTER
DAMN IF ONLY SHE WOULD OF HAD MY DAUGHTER
I BEEN TOLD THAT I SHOULDNT HAVE BEEN BORN
THAT I WAS A MISTAKE
THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN SWALLOWED
I BEEN CALLED EVERY NAME IN THE BOOK
EVEN ALMOST GOT SHOT
FOR SOME OF THE SHIT THEY THOUGHT I TOOK
MY PAST IS THE PAST
BUT I RELIVE IT EVERYDAY
FROM THE CHICKS TO THE NIGGAZ
ALL THINKIN I WAS GAY
IM TIRED OF THE BULLSHIT
I MUST NOW ADDRESS THIS
ITS BEEN EATING ME UP INSIDE
AND YOURS WORDS AS THE DRESSIN
TO THE PAIN THAT I FEEL INISDE
IM TIRED OF LOOKIN FOR SOMEPLACE TO HIDE
IMMA BE ME
AND YOUR GONNA BE YOU
I DONT WANT TO TAKE ANYMORE OF YOUR ATTENTION
SO NOW LISTEN TO R3D3MTION.

I can still feel the bruises when popz used to beat me
Had to go hungry daily cuz this nigga wouldn't feed me
Watchd my life slip as my energys depleating
Death n my eyes I'm pleading daddy stop beating
Saying I ain't shit I'm garabage he don't need me
If I asked for anything I was called greedy
Didn't fight back just sat still angered
As he hung me out to dry like a coat on a hanger
Broken confused emotions left mangled
As I'm wrapped around the staircase twisted and tangled
Passed back n forth from home to home..all alone
Left to roam lonely roads..no paths I was shown
But still pulled it togetha and continued to fight
20years old n I'm beginning to ripe
alwayz looked at like I neva did anything right
Drew come out the dark n show em the light

  Drew2007:

FROM THE TYME I WAS YOUNG
I KNEW I WAS DIFFERENT
THE WAY YOU TREATED ME
I KNEW IT WAS COMING
THE HORRIBLE WORDS
AND SHIT SHIT UNTOLD
THE WAY YOU GOSSIP ABOUT HATING ME
AND LOVIN ME ONLI BECUZ I WAS UR SON
SUM FUCKIN PARENT U R
U SHOULD OF SWALLOWED LIKE U SED U WERE
MY LIFE WOULD HAE BEEN BETTER
SITTING IN YOUR STOMACH
NOW JUS THE THOUGHT OF U
MAKE ME WANT TO PROJECTILE VOMIT
YOUR A SORRY EXCUSE FOR A WOMAN
AND A MOTHER
I USE TO WISH I WAS NEVER BORN
BUT NOW I CAN SEE CLEARLY NOW
THE PAIN IS GONE
I HAVE A NICE LIFE
AND SHIT IS BETTER THAN EVER
ITS SAD THAT IT TOOK ME 19 YEARS TO GET OVER THIS PAIN
BUT HEY WITH LIES YOUR PUT IN MY HEAD
IM SURPRISED I STILL HAVE A BRAIN
I HOLD NO GRUDGES AGAINST YOU
JUST WISH THAT YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN MORE AGGRESIVE
NOT IN THE PHYSICAL
BUT WITH MY MENTALS AND EMOTIONAL STABILITY
THE WAY YOU RAISED ME WAS HORRIBLE AT ITS BEST
I KNO NOW THAT I AM BETTER OFF WITH OUT YOU IN MY LIFE
LOST FROM THE PAIN, THE AGONY AND STRIFE
NOW IM AT EASE AND HAPPY WITH MYSELF
I REGRET NOTHING I SAY
LIVING WID U WAS LIKE BEING IN HELL
BUT ENOUGH WID ME ND MY SAD THEMES
R3D3MPTION TELL THEM HOW IT REALLY SEEMS...

It seems they try and relieve us from our dreams
Bringing agony and screams..with no shoulders to lean
When life gets ugly u betta get mean
Those who say they on urside quickly drop from ur team
Ironic how I got a daughter coming soon
I'm alive when u said ide drown n lifes monsoon
I can't accept defeat I can't submit to you
Keep my newborn in my arms there's no way I can lose
Life its a thing we can't choose
But to u I have nothing else 2 prove
Nothing else to do nothing else to move
U dead to me I will no longer bruise
Use this poetry to get me out of the struggle
My wills gettn stronger my hearts gaining muscle
No longer am I silenced break the chains remove the mussle
Who knew jus surviving eryday wud turn into my hussle
