    INSIDE

    Inside

    when the tears have dried

    we look inside

    let enemies see all the flaws

    we try 2 hide

    and when you are down

    tell them 2 bring their best

    for eventually we all 

    will be laid to rest

     

    when the pain subsides

    we look inside

    many times we have nothing left

    but a sliver of pride

    dont compromise

    be hard 2 kill

    for eventually 

    even your enemies 

    must submit 2 the fathers will

     

    we know not the time

    nor the way that we will pass

    when all around will be toasting

    your life

    it comes and goes so fast

    so while you are here

    live this life without reservation

    or fear

    stand and proclaim your rights

    despite the tears

     

    stand tall and proud

    rise above the crowd

    dare to walk this road alone

    if unhappiness resides in your home

    for ultimately

    what will be shall always be

    many have eyes but cannot see

    the lonely road you chose

    2 walk alone

     

    when the tears dried

    i looked inside

    this time i will not  run

    i refuse 2 hide

    so enemies

    come 2 me

    with your anger and assaults

    2 the world i will admit my faults

    but know i will not die easily

    the black pride inside of me

    will live on

    as will my words

    when i am gone

     

    when the pain subsides

    i will look inside

    and realize though i was very wrong

    never did i not apologize

    so what more can anyone take from me

    my soul is finally free

    i have given up all love 2 defend

    now i refuse 2 bend

    dear god

    i am prepared 2 die

    right here where i stand

    not on my knees

    for i am a man

    though flawed and now faltered

    i will not be  willingly sacrificed

    on anyones altar

    of deceit

     

    when i look inside

    i feel pride

    for no one but myself and the father

    will dictate how  and when i die

    when you look at me

    you see  the prodcut of the fathers hand

    though cursed by satan

    never have i refused 2 stand

    i am a man

    have lived as a man

    and if today i die

    i will persish as a man

    it is all that i am
