Can't Understand (This is a few yrs. old)

by Shay   Oct 25, 2009


Most of this is written in the style of, Eminem's "The Way I Am" So the same rhythm he used in that song is what i used or thought of while writing this.... 3 syllables at a time.. hope that makes sense.

I just can't understand/
why i can't be a man/
in the eyes of the ones who don't think that i can/

make it out on my own/
they won't leave me alone/
I grew up but they didn't insert the backbone/

so i can't get a job/
and i can't steal or rob/
cuz i don't have the heart/
so i think u should start/

the explaining to me/
just why you couldn't see/
the potential that so many others can see

and that i just don't see/
its supposed to be me/
or in me just to be/
this mature individual that i don't see

what i do see is this/
when you fake smile and kiss/
and then leave you act like i just gave u a dis/

and that is not the case/
but why make me feel small and then smile in my face/
like you ain't do a thing/
i can't talk to the one who is wearing my ring

cuz she is just too weak/
to listen to me speak/
but she speaks with a vengance each day of the week/

i know that's usually a sign of being strong
but sometimes it makes it harder to get along/
cuz the way that we are/
is not us not by far/
strength does not just mean that you can liftup a car/

not to me you can't see/
strength is in you and me like that s*@& called beauty/
and when you can't lower yourself
or just humble yourself/
you just might lose yourself/
because somebody else wouldn't help/

and just listen like you/
were supposed to try to/
but see you yes my wife and my mother try to/

destroy the person you both claim you care about/
so what's left of my hair i will tear it out/

no one respects me or listens to what i say/
so why in the hell am i in here anyway/
you say i ain't supposed to go play/
or live life like i want with my friends anyway/

but if its what you wish/
its supposed to be bliss/
soon you and your enemy will give me the same kiss..

And i am whatever you say i am......
