about

The bible has 2 types of text. The black words which are the old testament stories and the new testament accounts of what Jesus Christ said or did according to those who knew him or heard of him, & the Words In Red which are the words of Jesus Christ himself. When applied to life, the words in black about us are people's interpretations of us and how they tell the stories about us, and the Words In Red are what we've actually said and done which is the only absolute truth about us.

lyrics

[verse 1]

I'm in the bathroom just tryina take a piss,
it's lunchtime there's nothing special bout it,
then this kid who's always fuckin with me comes
and tries to push my head in the toilet but I push back up out it,
I tried to walk away but he had back up out it,
his other friend pushed me back in,
he swung he missed, I swung I hit, he hit his knee
and all I remember is swingin, til I blacked up out it,
I get aggressive I got friends, who laugh about it
I guess they think it's just an act about it,
but all that means to me is in a conflict
I couldn't trust them to have my back about it,
I look back on my life I should be happy bout it,
suburban kid, two parent household,
but there's more to it then that so called perfect mask about it,
even if you never cared to ask about it,

[hook]
if I only had one chance to tell you,
exactly how I feel
and you only heard this song one time,
at least you know I kept it real,

yeah-yeah

even when it... hurt
(repeats twice)

[verse 2]

and all I hear is that's not true
and all I hear is that's not you
it's like a flip on that old saying,
it isn't what you've been through it's what you can prove
but that's the thing about small towns,
that's where the biggest secrets live,
cause when you know that everybody talks who can you talk to?
you'll never find what you seek in it,
my crown heavy my armor it got a chink in it,
I smile heavy sometimes I'm cheek to cheek'n it
I'm already a legend, to some people in my city
but that can't be what my greatest achievement is
I just stay focused on what the reason is,
to develop a vision to keep believin' in,
and keep pushin' forward til I'm achievin it,
then they'll understand me, but I won't need it then

[hook]

if I only had one chance to tell you exactly what I feel.......
