I Scream My Words Every Chance I get!!!

woke up

and got the call of my life

fly me out to DC bout to speak on whats right

but do these people even care

i dont think they do

they might have been affected but nothin like me and you

flyin private jets escapin this lethal zoo

paralyzed from the neck then friends are forgettin you

selfish minds move on

couldn't sit and visit with you

they've got friends that can walk!!!

headin out with a group of four

while your old brain injured buddy is screamin behind the door

cryin to God

what'd you do this for!!!

why me?

why not him or her?

why not some punk bully that could've really deserved it?

like this guy that dropped from boot camp and claimed he got hurt

pics on smaller people cause it makes him feel worth

thirty years old and his life is pathetic

obsessed with fantasy football stats and checklists

caused what happened

though he'll never regret it

he'll never look in the mirror while i'm goin through hell

friends at one point a second it changed

i was thrown around bashed in beat up and i'm to blame

this grown man even laughed at my limp

thats the honest to God truth

now i can relate with that kid

cryin to God

why me?

why not him?

now i preach it

i've got them feelin the love

venting through my pen cause i'm done feelin this punk

done feelin people that cause hurt and never show up

it was your fault

but your to young to take it

speakin out to Congress and Senate hopin they change it

my bloodstained brain the one to blame cant even claim it

i try to explain the pain he left me to face with

so real so raw

has me chokin on stage

fightin for the cause with these tears that i can't restrain

paralyzed for years so he's stuck feelin the pain

while the drivers out there cheersin with buddies cause nothins changed

happens every day

 come on people lets show respect

breathe it and live it

dont just talk the talk

if you wanna be respected gotta walk the walk

and if your challenge is a closed door

just knock and knock

if they dont answer bust through

this little stumblin block

never capture dreams if your stuck in the small talk

i have it!

doesn't mean that you got it

i've died two times

i'd die again if i lost it

savin one life at a time has really got me exhausted

i'm stressed out

Tai's screamin "you ok!"

eyes bloodshot sleep

i haven't seen in days

i still smile

even though i know i'm insane

runnin outta time

had to grow up in the pain

couldn't walk a straight line

forced to create my own way

you couldn't walk in my shoes

you show no RESPECT

could be the best lesson we as the people are bound to lose

it's not shown on the streets

it's not shown on the news

it's not shown towards me

it's not shown towards you

it's not shown towards this world that us people are bound to ruin

so i'll show towards you

and you can show towards me

so we can stop with the recklass disrespect on the streets...
