I wanna sing, I wanna shout,
I wanna scream till the words dry out.
So put it in all of the
papers, I'm not afraid,
They can read all about it,
read all about it, ohhhh.
Nothing to hide
Stifle and smother
Suffered and cried
Strife made me tougher
Never mumbled or shy to,
The trouble, I rise above all
E pectations forget rep
Ain't never begged yet
When I wanted to get pence, hustle,
To be, I'm e actly what my neck says.
Saying I tried to cash
in on my Dad's death,
I wanted to vent 'stead
I said nothing at all.
After all you were never kin to me,
Family is something that
you never been to me,
In fact making it harder for me
to see my father was the only
thing that you ever did for me.
I wanna sing, I wanna shout,
I wanna scream till the words dry out.
So put it in all of the
papers, I'm not afraid,
They can read all about it,
read all about it,
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
As a kid I looked up to you,
Only thing was I never
saw enough of you.
Last thing I said to
you was I hated you,
I loved you but now it's
too late to say to you.
Just didn't know what to do
and how to deal with it,
Even now deep down I still live it.
I think, I used to blame me,
I wonder what I did to
you to make you hate me.
I wasn't even 5, life's a journey
and mine wasn't an easy ride,
You never even got to see me rap,
I just wish you woulda reached out,
I wish you woulda been
round when I been down.
I wish that you could see me now,
Wherever you are I really
hope you find peace.
I know that if I ever have kids,
Unlike you I'll never
let them be without me.
I wanna sing, I wanna shout,
I wanna scream till the words dry out.
So put it in all of the
papers, I'm not afraid,
They can read all about it,
read all about it,
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
I write songs, I can't listen to
Everything I have, I give to you
In every one of these
lines I sing to you.
My job's more like public service
My life just became yours
to read and interpret.
If you heard it it'd come
across a lot different at times
I throw fits when I read
how they word things.
You see me smile
Now you're gonna have to see me hurtin'
Coz pretending everything is alright
when it ain't, really isn't working.
I wanna sing, I wanna shout,
I wanna scream till the words dry out.
So put it in all of the
papers, I'm not afraid,
They can read all about
it, read all about it.
I ain't censoring myself for nobody
I'm the only thing I can be,
All that is good, all that
is bad, all that is, me.
I wanna sing, I wanna shout,
I wanna scream till the words dry out.
So put it in all of the
papers, I'm not afraid,
They can read all about it,
read all about it, ohhhh.
