Framed Photos

For as long as I've breathed
I have felt deceived
I have felt deceased
For as long as I've breathed
I could hardly find sleep
And I hated my dreams
And I hate what I've seen
Why are my feelings so deep

I hate how my parents have left things handled
They smothered my candle
But if they found my body hangin they would both be dismantled

I remember walking into class tardy
So all the teachers and the students disregard me
Not one of them muthafuckas was there to disarm me
When afton hoyt izatt tried to harm me
Or when my mother and my father tried to charm me with the drugs
Them same thangs I was supposed to stay away from
So young
I remember when my dad
Had me bite down on a mfin rag
Just to cover up my laugh In the night
When he had me smoking on that draft at 9
Yeah I'm stuck on the past at times
And it seems to ruin my life
It seems to ruin my life

They was snortin oxycodone
Off my framed photos
Fucked up homies made me stay solo
I don't pray no moe
I don't pray no moe

For as long as I've breathed
I have felt deceived
I have felt deceased
For as long as I've breathed
I could hardly find sleep
And I hated my dreams
And I hate what I've seen
Why are my feelings so deep

My fat dad was always glued to his sheets
Loungin in his briefs
Until you questioned his beliefs
Then he'd be jumping to his feet
And askin if you really want the beef
Mf I'm your son you ain't no longer in the streets
Matter of fact, you was a rat and a theif
You said because of that to look over my back, I had no sense of relief

I don't get my hopes up, I hold em underground
Hopin that they drown and they don't make a sound
I know the shit that they did to me
The innocence that they ripped from me

I aint ever had no escape
Reality been shoved in my face
Only Smoked a little Jay
But it never really kept it at bay
I swear my mama od'd almost every day
Look up at her face and it's blank
She would only play if I got them fuckin pills out the safe
Then she'd cry to me the same day
Is guilt even real inside yo brain?
Mane what the fuck do you think doin this to yo kid
Engraved in my brain that they don't want me if I ain't got shit

I hate all these feelings I try to keep hidden
They swell and they swarm till I'm driven
To think that happiness is somethin I cannot be given

For as long as I've breathed
I have felt deceived
I have felt deceased
For as long as I've breathed
I could hardly find sleep
And I hated my dreams
And I hate what I've seen
Why are my feelings so deep
