yuh, I Was Thinkin’ ‘Bout My Life

[Intro] [low vocal register] Yuh Yuh I was thinking ’bout my life Yuh Whole room quiet But my head loud [Verse 1] Yuh yuh i was thinking 'bout ma life yuh Little did they know im ready for the fight now Lets go back Remember the time i got tortured Yeah its the time that made me who im now Hand me-down shoes and a fake little smile Crying in the dark They ain’t see that child Every scar on my name I still walk that mile Had to stitch my own heart Took a while [Chorus] [full voice] Sad song about my life Every bar is a bruise I survived I was down Now I’m staring in their eyes They threw stones I built a throne from the trials Sad song about my life But I sing it like a war cry From the dirt to the daylight This pain turned into my spine [Verse 2] They said “you won’t be nothing ” I remember that Sleeping on the floor Turning hunger into plans Praying to the ceiling Asking “what’s the path?” Now I wear my past like a band on my hand They laugh when I fall I get up No sound Silent in the storm Feel the thunder in my mouth Never going back to the kid locked down I’m the same one Just stronger right now [Chorus] [Bridge] [whispered vocals] Yuh They don’t know what I’ve seen They don’t know where I’ve been But the tears and the screams Built the man that I am [build / crescendo] Yuh I was thinking ’bout my life (my life) Turned every bad night to a fight (to a fight) [Chorus]
