Paradigm Shift

A tear trickles down my window pane,
But is it rain, oh no, behold the shame, pain and long thoughts of a boy trekking his way, that got lost on the dark part of the moonscape,
Star gazing to get his mind off the fools ways,
the shrewd ways of the cruel slave,
these old thoughts could use new days,
And I, haven't been helped much,
Lately I seem to taint everything pure that I touch,
As if it ain't enough, college days coming up,
Plus, My faith is in the dump and my love life's fucked,
Up, what sucks is that I haven't given what, needs the most attention from me the benefit of my thoughts,
too focused on my arts. like I'm poking at the sharks,
if I bleed like the red rose goes then I'm done,
Momma said that I'm the one, and I gotta bring light,
So here's where I try to introduce my life.
It's like,

Hook:
Some have tied to take me where I've gone, well,
But, I, doubt that you can save me from my own, self,
And it's, nothing like they showed you trying to tell where I've been, hey but,
I can shift your mind so you see how it is,
Uh, ohh,

They say I'm, overly critical, overly spiritual, overly lyrical,
Ha, homie just get a clue, I'm,
Somewhat a pivotal figure inside our little group, that started making moves, so hold with the judgment, I knew,
That I was unique, I sensed it this definitely wasn't new,
having to distinguish between false proof lies and truth,
Here's an example, my siblings all look alike,
all except for me, you see my face is of a different type,
Why I'll never know, I wonder where I really stand,
Sometimes I wonder if my father is a different man, I am,
Insecure about things, my bigass forehead, large nose and short legs,
Bet they made fun of it, 6th grade the summit when,
They told me how I'm ugly, and that i couldn't really be a man,
Right now it might seem like it wasn't that important,
Had me looking in the garbage for a pair of airforces,
Damn...

Hook:
Some have tied to take me where I've gone, well,
But, I, doubt that you can save me from my own, self,
And it's, nothing like they showed you trying to tell where I've been, hey but,
I can shift your mind so you see how it is,
Uh, ohh,

They don't understand the message i attempt to convey,
Through the words that I utter, from the pen, to the grave,
And My resurrection, will become my perfection,
after I complete the tasks the lords testing,
Resting, on the shoulders of myself,
I deplete my wealth when I come above greed,
Most of y'all wanna Harvest by planting the bad seeds,
That's why I can't stand adolescence with no dreams,
Heading to the west coast,
a college bound king,
I'm a teen that hates teens,
hates money, but loves things.
Plus the joy that it brings,
I'm reaching for the best thy my life can offer is what I mean,
The tears dry up, and glow with my soul,
The ones who hurt me are but a past untold,
Now I have a vision, who I am grows old,
The pessimistic optimist with a fucking heart of gold,
I am...

Hook:
Some have tied to take me where I've gone, well,
But, I, doubt that you can save me from my own, self,
And it's, nothing like they showed you trying to tell where I've been, hey but,
I can shift your mind so you see how it is,
Uh, ohh,
