The Verbal Surgeon Unknown lyrics

The only thing time has taught me is that you'll never understand the type of man that I am before you here I stand unrecognized and misunderstood even if you had the time to figure me out I hardly doubt you could I grew up where the streets were corrupt placed in a position where it's easy to get stuck in the wrong lifestyle and walk amongst the wrong crowd I have no hope for the future of nothing I'm proud my life's a portrait that lacks color it's culture I seek I try to rise but I can't seem to get out of my seat everyday is a cycle I feel like I'm stuck on repeat the truth is in my words my lifestyles far from sweet help is out of reach so I can only help myself where do I begin my heads a mess from all the pain I've felt I have learned from time that you must grow to know yourself without knowing who you are your unknown to everyone else so here I am again walking down the road of life for everything I've gained I have learned to sacrifice cash rules that's why everything has a price it's a universal language that we can all read and write not a product of my environment I took myself out the equation I'm learning from mistakes while you continue to make them I'm not perfect I would never strive to be perfect is something that will never define me if you lack flaws and that's what you claim to be then you'll never relate in what we know as reality the truth is that we're living in a flawed society just because your eyes are open doesn't mean that you can see I have learned to understand what's going on in my surroundings the truth is hard to swallow and at times it is astounding I have learned from time that things are never as they seem it seems I'm in a nightmare and far from a dream
