First Born

Am I wrong because I made dumb mistakes?
How could I let them take your breath away?
Would your face look just like my face?
Now you're gone, erased

One more sleepless night, intellect vs. emotion
My heart points in one direction but my mind still chose another
Be strong, be strong for the life that's lost, be strong for the others
Be strong for the life that's lost because here will be no other
I wonder who you could have been, eraser, erased

No more sleepless nights, the darkness opens my eyes to the light
Don't waste your time with mixed emotions, stick with your decision
I'm strong, I'm strong for the life that's lost, I'm strong for the others
I'm strong for the life that's lost because there will be no other

Picture a little seed looking just like me
Growing up in straight up poverty, cope without necessities
Eventually resenting me for the way that things turned out to be
Hell no, that shouldn't be, y'all niggas don't know me

Ain't shit that y'all could show me, word is bond
I done been through it all before, see, throughout my 18 years
I have seen things most of y'all wouldn't even dream
Never mind believe, so don't come to me with your speeches
On how things could be, because I've already seen it, believe that
