My History

    If i could swim a thousand lakes to bring your life back
    I write that, but infinity can't rewind facts
    You are divinity
    My primitive mind was struggling
    Just to understand the meaning of life, forgive me
    I never told my mommy, i couldn't break her spirit
    She always wished her daughter, extraordinary thinking
    So i traveled alone, young, sixteen got in the habit of not stayin' at home
    Doing the sad walk like
    Bill bixby, a dollar fifty
    Trips to the hospital so that medicaid could fix me
    I couldn't eat shit. i fainted frequent.
    On cold floors and i pause and i think, keep it
    I'm lost, my four friends know
    And just fuck at the boys' apartments for rent, so
    I'm all wishin' that it's a dream ending soon
    I've actually erased a lot that i've been through

    See when the rain comes down, i know it's fallin' for me, and only for me
    And when the pain comes around, there's nowhere else i rather would be
    I know what i've done, please forgive me

    Now all my bitter homies sayin' that's what men do
    Feelin' retarded for seeing partner potential
    On top of that, the doctors telling me a heart murmur
    I can't take it; i'm contemplating a glock burner, a cop murderer
    I can't be, this can't be
    The tears streaming and i can't see, they lance me
    And i'm passin' out, and this is just for blood
    They had to cover the mass amounts, i've had enough
    And you don't know what it's like in waiting rooms
    And outside their picketing pictures could slay you
    Their screamin' victims, and spitting till they shame you
    I hold my head low and shiver push my way through
    They put you in a room, where you can change into
    Your gown and shower cap, shaking as a fiend would do
    And that's when you think of leaving, fleeing the
    Building and then they call you and you hear the call of your children
    They count down from ten now, you wanna stop
    'em but you say it in your head, your out for the cut
    Then you wake up in another room with plenty others
    They call it recovery; you're thinkin' we ain't mothers
    And then prescription pills, written a 'scrip with chills
    An understatement, you're dressed but you're naked still
    And your brain won't think straight
    Wait - can't finish this

    I kept it bottled up; my parent's found the pills
    Screaming god what have you done?
    Cried till i snotted blood, then got a gun
    My temper ran quick tho, from the thought,
    Then the worst i was caught in the same place
    A year later, for me that's when hatred started
    My faith martyred, i've dated a father but farther, then i moved on
    Years past, the guilt's worse and it builds till your heart' smashed
    Then i miscarried 22 age, i was headed to a breakdown
    Swallowed up some pills and i laid down
    I was a failure at that too, bailed from the
    Rap then but fate took me back in
    Sin is a tattoo my fingers attached with
    Twenty-seven with three kids that i never met
    What if i was catholic? wonder if they hate me?
    Thinking how their mother could ever murder?
    Well take me hell - to the depths where
    The brimstone chokes me constantly
    I am a monster, see
    How could i possibly correspond with god when i gave
    The authority to end that life?
    But it's never over, even if we have a child
    They coulda had a brother or sister or both
    I'm thinking about another life that almost got close
    Prayin' that in another time we coulda' changed posts
    If i could just reverse time, i would
    I don't know what i would do, honestly it's not good
    I'm sorry
