Cherish

It's just a song I am working on. Nothing special, just me trying to express myself. For my darling daughter.

Verse 1:
Everywhere I go people always stop and stare
Do you know what it's like to have people watch you, scared?
Like they are getting prepared for the worst 'cause I never cared
but in this life of mine I never fared, for the best
maybe that's why I always dared to make it better than the rest
Trying to escape this mess, trying to pass this test
but life you can't study for and you can only guess
Making the right choices that can lead to being depressed
but be happy 'cause you always got the breath in your chest
Trying to make it and I can't forsake it and take it
This depression clinging to me and I can no longer shake it
It's like being trapped in a cage and you forget your story
You flip through every page and still find yourself lonely
but this my story and I am back to where I left off
A story of betrayal and heartbreak that could make me set off
but I'm ready to take the belt off and hit below it
Treating me like a walking time bomb and I'm ready to blow it
How far out of proportion? Well, I'd rather just show it.


Chorus:
How far are you willing to go
To make life your own?
I'm ready to show just how far
I can take it
I'll make it
I'm giving it my all.


Verse 2:
Rap music is all that I have ever had
It helped raised me, like a second dad
Gave me the heart that I have today
Even though it stopped beating yesterday
Got me through the hardest times
Writing this music with the most heartfelt rhymes
Reminscing on all the times, begging to cleanse myself of the crimes
I have ever committed, Anabelle I love you
Should of told you that more often now that I don't have you
Life isn't fair but I want you to know that I'll always care
I'll always be there, one day I'll be watching over you
I never abandoned you, you got torn from me
Can I beg your forgiveness for the man that I began forming?
I'm not proud, I wish I could go back to that night
Hold you tight, let you know that everything will be alright
Go back and do it over again and stop the fight
Grit my teeth and my pride just to have you by my side
I miss you and it's fair to say that without you? I died.


chorus  x 2


Hold on to whatever it is you have
You never know when it will be torn from you
Don't take life for granted
It will make you pay.
