Key To My Heart

I bear my multiple scars on a heart that no one can see
Have gone through some things many wouldn't believe
If you only knew you'd wonder how I'm the King that I am
Instead of journeying the rest of my days as a jaded ass man

I often wonder exactly the same during my moments of introspection
It's a trait that's been ingrained by a woman who called me grandson
She was the epitome of how one should be even while being mistreated
Many of days she managed to calm me down when I was getting heated

I've got a big loving heart but sometimes I wish I could keep it locked
Permanently secured like a fancy car in a Top Flight Security garage
You know Day Day didn't play when doing his job every other Friday
The ironic thing is that Day Day is actually my family given nickname

Guess that means that I've gotta protect myself because no one else will
I'm a man that wholeheartedly understands that and already knows the deal
So I've swallowed some very bitter pills and my jadedness had to be killed
It sure hasn't been easy like the torturous labor of slaves out in the cotton fields
