Born To Lies

Born to lies
And secrets never told
I was told the Truth when I was 5 years old.
The man I believed to be my father
Had been nothing but a lie,
I tried to get past
This but it wouldnt leave my side
Moved to Madisonville
Where new relationships were forged
A couple of years later these friendships would be destroyed
Was told another great lie at age of eleven
My Mr. Boyd would be coming to see me
Between five-and seven.
I was so excited I told all my friends
"my dad is coming" is what I told them
He never showed
Which hurt my heart at first then
Those feeling pasted in one quick burst
Moved to A-1 where things first looked good
I had new friends and I was in the hood
Things got bad real fast,
My life hade spent out of control
I was in shackles by the end of the year
My friends had bailed and looked like the end.
While At school I tried to make good grades,
But never doing quite doing to well
But always seemed to pass which was
Strange as hell.
Went to Bloom to get back on track
Which is what I did
Graduated top of the class,
Which is a proven fact
Came to Hughes which wasnt my choice
But with high expectations on my back
I didnt do to well almost failed.
Came back again mostly for the friends
Because I was two much of a coward to start a new
Doing alright
Knowing I could do better
Trying to get by anyway
I can, pleasing friends and teachers
With jokes and lies
With No one knowing what I feel inside
My future is unclear
And I wont tell you lies
And I Dont have a crystal ball to see inside
I cant tell the future and don know
Whats in stored.
I know one thing in the future
That I know that will be true
Im getting outa Hughes
After that dont know what Ill do.
