[Part 1: Believe In Me] [Verse: Bless] I'm a problem to y'all But it's rare because I don't cause drama for y'all To be fair, I was sad when Bonnabel called I was searching for strength because Byron stalled Dog, y'all are some characters Average as people but networks carry you Glare through the see through gla** at a barrier Bury your ego, and laugh at the carrier of the blue notebook Swag is embarra**ing, ask the adults that are mad, it's hilarious Ask for results on whether it's bad influences, or will the parents handle it? Scandalous teenage girls caught dancing, dudes on World Star as happy as can be Y'all say freedom but don't understand it Wouldn't you expect Miley to start dancing? But oh now, she's white trash Oh my, she's a bad role model, not this again Influencing girls to be tramps But if that girl's mom cared it would not happen As we move on, there's one woman here that has helped me move on I'm a Berry; well not actually, I meant she's one And we go on, we go on Buy new Jordan's to show off, or better yet that iPhone Or brag about what we are gone off of This generation loses easily Whatever happened to people with decency? I'm just trying to see where I really need to be I need someone that'll really believe in me [Hook: Bless] Believe in me This is not a cry out for help Eleven years, I've guided myself No tears from the face of a warrior Show no fear when it comes to a horde of them Homeboy, Ms. Berry is family What is blood if my blood just damaged me? Angel is fine but dog, I don't really care about much So, don't challenge me x2 [Part 2: Visionz of Home Pt. 2] [Intro: Byron and Aaliyah] Say hi Aaliyah (Hi!) I love you (I love you) (I know I'm the best) [Verse: Bless] Unsurprisingly, I don't feel up to par with the rest of y'all My confidence was beaten out of me; yeah, people doubted me too Claiming to never see the Byron they knew, when you never knew me at all You're just good at a**uming You're clueless; foolish enough to judge a book by its cover, even if it's pitch black That cover is just my suffering smothered in gift wrap So, just stack every odd you can up against me and I'll sit back Trying to capture the wrath of attacks from the last chapter Racking my brain just to attract the same thoughts that changed my P-O-V Lames will switch lanes and aim for big names but sanity is for me I can't thank you enough; I blame myself for not speaking up But this pain runs way deeper than us Listen, I've been sober I've bent over backwards, and taken bats to the back, even losing a friend over this ish Become colder and more distant the more that I grow older, the less religion I'm foreclosing; deposited y'all The riot started and they were uttering h*mophobic slurs like they closeted y'all So answer this, was I in the right place at the right time or was Rob in his mind When he told me the day was upon us? I suffered a lot, and every second that I looked, it grew tougher to watch As I grew, I got more intelligent I would tell you to do some soul searching but it's hanging in my closet with your skeleton I was never ashamed of what y'all thought of me because I'm living off every lesson Jalisa taught to me So when they stabbed me, I was helpless in a way because I'm selfless, unselfish God helped us if we prayed But here's the twist, to coexist someone always has to pay And in the midst of being missed, it hit my friend and went astray First gun, then knife, headshot, dead wife, dead kids, dead dad Seven bullets think twice I promised Rob I would do this as a thank you But I did slit my wrists to the picture that they painted of them cheering But I'll give them a reason to hate more I've held my tongue for eleven years, as if I had a sprained jaw So I want to thank y'all for resurrecting me, Toni especially You should know I was conceived by a mixture of ego and pride But they left it out of me releasing the demons inside Definitely out of reach by a preacher, they breathe ether I just found the keys to open the gate, so lead the way I'm more lethal than I ever would have been if I never gave in I'll probably never let a person in, parents but no parents Sister but no sister Stefanie and Joanne, they're cool but I won't miss them I'm slipping again Witness it when I prove to myself that I'm living for me, unforgiving No more spinning in circles I'm hurdling over every single obstacle while I'm holding my breath until I turn purple No longer fazed by Meagan or Jennifer now I'm back, and all you're left with is a cold shoulder, wow I'm just a good kid in a system of control Surrounded by habits and contradictions that followed me home Believe
