lyrics

Intro:
Ahem Give ‘em hope double slash
Give ‘em hope double slash

Verse 1:
I was physically abused by you
Not to mention mentally disturbed by you
I was inhumanly misused by you
So all my insecurities are because of you

Hook:
Shot down never feel up
Thrown around everyday never feel safe
Never can erase the pain you gave to me
I really can’t explain the way you treated me
Shot down never feel up
Thrown around everyday never feel safe
Never can erase the pain you gave to me
I really can’t explain the way you treated me

Chorus:
And you did this
(You you you)
But I’m not pissed
(You you you you)
‘Cause you will get
(You you you)
The hope I never did
(You you you you)

Link:
And I didn’t care
That you didn’t care
That nobody cared here now go away
No I didn’t care
That you didn’t care
That nobody cared here now go away

Verse 2:
I was metaphorically laid down by you
Not to mention the victim of your attitude
I was stripped thoroughly of my dignity
You’re the main cause of my difficulty

Hook:
Shot down never feel up
Thrown around everyday never feel safe
Never can erase the pain you gave to me
I really can’t explain the way you treated me
Shot down never feel up
Thrown around everyday never feel safe
Never can erase the pain you gave to me
I really can’t explain the way you treated me

Chorus:
And you did this
(You you you)
But I’m not pissed
(You you you you)
‘Cause you will get
(You you you)
The hope I never did
(You you you you)

Link:
And I didn’t care
That you didn’t care
That nobody cared here now go away
No I didn’t care
That you didn’t care
That nobody cared here now go away

Bridge Rap:
You never once thought about how your words affected me
How your curses were torturous and deafening
Scratch that, slash that maybe you wanna be
The same kinda man as your sworn enemy
Your own dad your old man
with his name-calling alcoholic fad
His belt-licking sucker punching “gotta beat his ass” bad
His mother fuckin “pass the evil to his kid” kinda dad

Chorus/Link (Simultaneously):
And you did this
(You you you)
But I’m not pissed
(You you you you)
‘Cause you will get
(You you you)
The hope I never did
(You you you you)
And I didn’t care
That you didn’t care
That nobody cared here now go away
No I didn’t care
That you didn’t care
That nobody cared here now go away


End Chorus:
And you did this
(You you you)
But I’m not pissed
(You you you you)
‘Cause you will get
(You you you)
The hope I never did
I’ve got hope again

Who doesn't enjoy an interesting indie artist? Am I good, am I bad? Who knows. Guess we'll all have to wait and see. Yes, "we" 'cause not even I know myself anymore. I think that really comes out in the tunes though. Who knows, perhaps it may be you who can help solve a mystery? Yeah, I like a lot of retro television :D But I'll be there for you, if you're there for me too! Ha ... more
