Past Strife...
Ive been on the ground searching for that lost hit,
looking out the peep hole being told to quit.
Ive seen a mom lose her child,
the drug made her that wild.
Ive played the manipulation to get a bigger rock,
then I'd hide it in my sock.
Ive been broke, beaten down & confused,
they said that boy should be dead with all that he's abused.
I did die,
I will not lie.
Flesh buried,
this cross Ive carried.
Eternal life,
buried is the past strife...
