lirik lagu jay young – truth (tears of joy remix)
[intro] (jay young)
thinking last night about where this all ends
no i.d. on the track, let the story begin, begin
[verse 1] (jay young)
looking at myself in the mirror, i’m embarr-ssed
i’m feeling like a suicidal terrorist
i’m just waiting for this whole thing to blow up
still after money, i guess i’ll never grow up
yeah, guess i’ll never grow up
contemplate my next move, i learn from my mistakes
there’s no margin for error, i have too much ache
started thinking last night about my life
where i came from to here had me laying awake
yeah, had me laying awake
if my life had been different, where would i be?
would my mom be the same if i was never conceived?
would my sisters exist if mom chose differently?
these are the questions in me, no blasphemy
cuz in my eyes, my mom is god to me
i mean, who else making miracles every day
single mother provide for her kids in any way
no help or support from the familey
i guess we’re on our own, alone in this disarray
hmm, i’m ashamed to say
but i’m a spiritual individual
she taught me comp-ssion that was pivotal
so i forgive those who actions aren’t admissible
cuz it ain’t my place to judge, i’m just an observer
carrying on her gift, i’m her life preserver
[hook] (cee-lo green)
to all the loved ones i leave behind
at least they can’t see me cry
and i ask, when someone wants to be me why
thought having everything would ease my mind
if you could read my mind
my god, i’m scarred, i have tattoo tears of joy
[verse 2] (jay young)
when i was young, i cried tears of sorrow
it looked like there was no hope for tomorrow
kicked out of the house, by a man i called father
nullified piece of paper wasn’t hallow
didn’t have any paper that we could borrow
and i talk about this, not for the pity of it
i talk about it so that i will not forget about it
cuz for me, that’s where the music took a hold of me
poverty and helplessness became my enemy
and i promised myself that i would help my mommy
look at everything she’s done for me
all the struggles that she’s gone through because of me
it k!lls me that were neck deep in poverty
but i’m grinding hard, just so it can change
just to fulfill her dream of a mercedes-benz
what kind of c-cl-ss should i park on green gr-ss
big house, big lawn, can’t let this dream p-ss
gotta do it before god gives her her first cl-ss
cuz the day my mommy dies, i’ll be a changed man
yeah, i’ll be a changed man
[hook] (cee-lo green)
to all the loved ones i leave behind
at least they can’t see me cry
and i ask, when someone wants to be me why
thought having everything would ease my mind
if you could read my mind
my god, i’m scarred, i have tattoo tears of joy
