00:00:33.595 --> 00:00:37.710
[ 4/4 time electronic beats and synth... ]
00:00:54.963 --> 00:00:57.549
I thought you were my friend,
you're my demon and addiction
00:00:57.549 --> 00:01:00.472
I'm makin' amends,
cause I'm free from your affliction.
00:01:00.472 --> 00:01:03.297
Now I'm walkin' out of the blue, and into the light,
00:01:03.297 --> 00:01:05.856
from cold, careless, lost, death,
00:01:05.856 --> 00:01:08.651
to warm, careful, found, and rest;
00:01:08.651 --> 00:01:11.699
different, rejected, stereotyped by my own life,
00:01:11.699 --> 00:01:13.334
controlled by rage,
00:01:13.334 --> 00:01:16.766
curious confused betrayed despised and hate
00:01:16.766 --> 00:01:20.102
hate and despise aren't able to see
through another's eyes
00:01:20.102 --> 00:01:21.666
now I'm shining in the skies,
00:01:21.666 --> 00:01:23.000
I tell you no lies,
00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:24.712
I'm free to walk through any door,
00:01:24.712 --> 00:01:26.803
learn how to live without our rage,
00:01:26.803 --> 00:01:29.069
learn to adapt and break the chains.
00:01:37.292 --> 00:01:39.753
Behind every anger, there is a pain,
00:01:39.753 --> 00:01:42.259
behind every pain there's a shame,
00:01:42.259 --> 00:01:44.879
but in who's to blame I've got nothin' to gain,
00:01:44.879 --> 00:01:48.037
I'ma stop this rain and ignite my flame.
00:01:48.037 --> 00:01:50.590
Behind every anger, there is a pain,
00:01:50.590 --> 00:01:53.045
behind every pain there's a shame,
00:01:53.045 --> 00:01:55.543
but in who's to blame I've got nothin' to gain,
00:01:55.543 --> 00:01:58.485
I'ma stop this rain and ignite my flame.
00:01:58.798 --> 00:02:00.469
Comin' from a broken home
00:02:00.469 --> 00:02:01.676
runnin' out alone
00:02:01.676 --> 00:02:03.176
in a world so cold
00:02:03.176 --> 00:02:04.179
growin' old
00:02:04.179 --> 00:02:05.389
I'm only in my teens
00:02:05.389 --> 00:02:06.722
but to live with the feelings
00:02:06.722 --> 00:02:08.050
___ and ____
00:02:08.050 --> 00:02:09.487
losin' all my dreams...
00:02:09.487 --> 00:02:12.031
nobody knows where I come from.
00:02:12.031 --> 00:02:14.418
only.... to run from...
00:02:14.418 --> 00:02:17.029
on the blocks unlocked don't wanna get caught
00:02:17.029 --> 00:02:20.095
freedom? I didn't have a lot.
00:02:20.095 --> 00:02:22.664
How they diss me, tell me that I'm ugly,
00:02:22.664 --> 00:02:25.297
hurt me verbally, abuse me physically,
00:02:25.297 --> 00:02:26.712
I've come to realize
00:02:26.712 --> 00:02:27.885
that everything they said...
00:02:27.885 --> 00:02:30.716
I know inside that I'm the grand prize.
00:02:30.716 --> 00:02:33.307
_______
00:02:33.307 --> 00:02:35.964
the pain and the voices of what they never shared
00:02:35.964 --> 00:02:38.202
I am equal to a man, no control, I am free
00:02:38.202 --> 00:02:39.718
I can get through this,
00:02:39.718 --> 00:02:41.368
I am strong, I am me.
00:02:41.368 --> 00:02:43.954
Behind every anger, there is a pain,
00:02:43.954 --> 00:02:46.348
behind every pain there's a shame,
00:02:46.348 --> 00:02:49.219
but in who's to blame I've got nothin' to gain,
00:02:49.219 --> 00:02:52.105
I'ma stop this rain and ignite my flame.
00:02:52.105 --> 00:02:54.543
Behind every anger, there is a pain,
00:02:54.543 --> 00:02:57.070
behind every pain there's a shame,
00:02:57.070 --> 00:02:59.613
but in who's to blame I've got nothin' to gain,
00:02:59.613 --> 00:03:02.365
I'ma stop this rain and ignite my flame.
00:03:03.017 --> 00:03:05.183
What was his excuse for the sexual abuse?
00:03:05.183 --> 00:03:07.978
She was such a little girl, comin' into his world...
00:03:07.978 --> 00:03:10.457
then it got worse, maybe a curse,
00:03:10.457 --> 00:03:11.844
she grew up.
00:03:11.844 --> 00:03:13.481
What came first was the shame,
00:03:13.481 --> 00:03:15.960
drugs came, crack cocaine,
00:03:15.960 --> 00:03:17.908
12 years old on the street,
00:03:17.908 --> 00:03:19.886
havin' nothin' to eat, gettin' beat..
00:03:19.886 --> 00:03:21.683
Lookin' for a place to sleep.
00:03:21.683 --> 00:03:23.159
Now she's in jail,
00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:24.854
she ain't gettin' no bail.
00:03:24.854 --> 00:03:26.751
She's lookin' for a new tale.
00:03:26.751 --> 00:03:29.168
I gotta change, it's time to engage.
00:03:29.168 --> 00:03:31.757
Less____I'm doin' this for you,
00:03:31.757 --> 00:03:33.526
P.S. I love you.
00:03:34.532 --> 00:03:37.022
Behind every anger, there is a pain,
00:03:37.022 --> 00:03:39.456
behind every pain there's a shame,
00:03:39.456 --> 00:03:42.353
but in who's to blame I've got nothin' to gain,
00:03:42.353 --> 00:03:45.314
I'ma stop this rain and ignite my flame.
00:03:45.314 --> 00:03:48.109
Behind every anger, there is a pain,
00:03:48.109 --> 00:03:50.668
behind every pain there's a shame,
00:03:50.668 --> 00:03:53.321
but in who's to blame I've got nothin' to gain,
00:03:53.321 --> 00:03:55.797
I'ma stop this rain and ignite my flame.
00:03:56.470 --> 00:03:58.660
Girl, you're worthy of everything good,
00:03:58.660 --> 00:04:01.214
if you're thinking of leaving, you probably should.
00:04:01.214 --> 00:04:04.053
It's not ____
00:04:04.053 --> 00:04:06.713
use your voice, break the silence!
00:04:06.713 --> 00:04:09.107
Respect yourself, don't let it ruin you.
00:04:09.107 --> 00:04:12.100
Take it from me, cuz I've been through it too.
00:04:12.100 --> 00:04:14.720
Always forgive but never forget.
00:04:14.720 --> 00:04:17.688
Live your life with no regrets.
00:04:49.405 --> 00:04:53.405
