Before (Part Two)



It was all simple when I heard the bark of the dog

Now my life seems to be covered by a simple fog

I used to hate how you called black people nigger

And when you saw any animal how you pulled the trigger

But the stupid things like that shouldn't matter anymore

Especially since you're gone now and left me to lie on the floor

It seems like I just can't take it anymore

You left my tears of silence alone on the floor

What was it that you were trying to implore

Now I am left only to explore

The mystery left behind of why you disappeared

I can't believe it was worse than I had feared

I just took in everything like it never happened

I thought it was a joke so I started slappin'

My knee is left all bruised

But my soul was captured and then used

For a different plot in life

Then I slowly began to realize the strife

I had no way to cope

All I could have done was hope

But I realized that hope was taken away

When I had figured out that day

The secret that was left upon a screen

Was damaging to me beyond all means

All I was is a shadow just like before

A Shadow of you father and nothing more

All they could say is how much I was like you

But they didn't realize the damage they did

Soon then on my jar of sanity flew off the lid

Then I went through to bid

Everyone else goodbye

Even though none of them understood why
