As a child
I used to play
A lot of video games
Call my friends and
Say I'm on my way
I was addicted to
The run and the chase
Before the war
All my neighbors were safe
But oh seasons change
And people fade to gray
Leaving dreams just to play it safe
I swear money ruins everything
You try to walk
But you moving in vain
So who's winning the race?
How you dealing with pain?
You go from
Space to space
To try and replace
But you're standing still
In the same old place
You're feeling your shame
And you try to maintain
And when you're almost there
You fall on your face
Screaming oh my God
Help my case
Oh I was made
Through lust and mistake
I think the condom broke
My mother was paid
She left me all alone
To die in vain
My ex is the same
But he taught me
Lessons through pain
They try to take my life
My head in the sky,
I'm screaming oh Lord why?
This gun on my mind
Oh I amazed
That i'm alive and okay
I said who's running this race?
I gotta take up my case
Because all this pain
Feels so inhumane
I feel shame
I'd rather die
Than live this way
Humiliated and drained
I'm in everybody's way
Got no where to stay
And I got no where to feel safe
To feel safe
Oh I can't wait
To feel safe
Oh I can't wait
Can't wait to feel safe
I can't wait to be loved
In the exact same space
In the exact same way
I promise not to take my life
I promise not to take my life
I promise not to take my life
On God yeah
I promise not to take my life
I promise not to die
I promise not to take my life
As a child I used to play
A lot of video games
Call my friends and say
I'm on my way
I was addicted
To the run and the chase
Before the war
All my neighbors were safe
But oh seasons change
And people fade to gray
Leaving dreams just to
Play it safe
I swear money
Ruins everything
Money ruins everything
It ruins everything
