[Verse 1: Rowlan]
I write the lights out
And take mic out
I got my flow right
Right now
Oow oh, oow oh
I write my life down
And with my site now
I got my head right
Some how
Oow oh, oow oh
Hey
My life is different than the picture I painted
The painting deferred the pain or maybe thats how I drain it
Or maybe thats how I contain it, til' I spill it to you
You wrote me once and said I saved your life
You saved mine too
When depressing was resting
On my conscious like daily
I never second guessed my sanity
I knew I was crazy
But the crazy was good
Because crazy was Tommy
They try to force the pharmaceuticals
To reform, and harm me
But, I just did me and I dove into art
I started draining never seen the place I'm at from the start
But all in all, well this just a letter saying thanks
You take the words of imperfection and this the music it makes
[Chorus: Rowlan, Diana Inez]
They couldn't hurt me
Or tell me
Or stop me
From saying the things that
I been through
They couldn't hurt me
Or tell me
Or stop me
From saying the things that
I been through
So let me drain my soul
So let me live my life
So let me just be me
Until the end of time
So let me do my job
Let me find myself
I'll do the
Best I can
[Verse 2: Rowlan]
Is it wrong to think that I can change a whole generation
I mean
My mind is racing, I'm impatient, and tracing my scheme
Finger on the trigger, winner spirit since the 90's
Metamorphosis morphing importance that I store behind me
Hey
I'm thinking far fetched, nothing is far fetched
Far fetching my dreams, it seems, the means, are complex
More complex than I thought
And I'm becoming obsessed
I'm lucky I have my art
From the start I been blessed
Hey
I play with words that curve and bend that shadows
I'm learning pretty quick the exposure is half the battle
The lighting ain't the lightening that I wanted to capture
But I still show the youth the truth
With hopes I make it through the rapture
But hope won't do it, and neither will fear
And neither will arguing, of what they say is real
So accept the views then express you where you stand
I'm a single hit away from a spot that I'll never land
[Chorus: Rowlan, Diana Inez]
They couldn't hurt me
Or tell me
Or stop me
From saying the things that
I been through
They couldn't hurt me
Or tell me
Or stop me
From saying the things that
I been through
So let me drain my soul
So let me live my life
So let me just be me
Until the end of time
So let me do my job
Let me find myself
I'll do the
Best I can
[Verse 3: Rowlan]
It's a feeling I'm feeling the universe on hold
I'm here for a purpose searching for all the untold
My stress level's absent, I'm masking fashion and soul
But I'm cut from a cloth, that they never wash or unfold
Woah
This life is deeper than you know
For times they beat you down
Well that's the moment you grow
Don't
Over think it man, thats just how it goes
Take the moments of your highs
And average those with your lows
Hey
Now that's life in a shell
And when they ask about your status
They ain't hoping for well
Hey
That's why I play these beats to drain
Everything syllable I write, release a decibel of pain
[Chorus: Rowlan, Diana Inez]
They couldn't hurt me
Or tell me
Or stop me
From saying the things that
I been through
They couldn't hurt me
Or tell me
Or stop me
From saying the things that
I been through
So let me drain my soul
So let me live my life
So let me just be me
Until the end of time
So let me do my job
Let me find myself
I'll do the
Best I can
