So Alone Verse

"So Alone Verse" (Dansonn Beats)

Being enlightened like this, I could never be frightened of them/
For they live in darkness, and hate the light from my pen
I swear my faith's in the Lord, til he makes my life end/
Til then, I wear his armour like I'm out for revenge
I sent my God a letter, begging for some better days/
It's then he sent an Angel, yet he had a Staffy face
And when it's time to leave, I beg you keep my Staffy safe/
As that Staffy made me happy, on the bleakest days
I'm so scared you will take him, like I beg you don't, please/
Cause that day will break me, like a toy that's Chinese
As a boy what was needed, was the beatings to stop/
And since I never had a father, all I had was hip-hop
I was really good at reading, I could write a rap verse/
A couple teachers could see this, I would write when I hurt
I've been rhyming these words, for thirty years of my life/
And the one thing that I've learned, is these words will not die.
