lirik lagu todd bangz - starz-n-stripes
v.1
picture this, a young man about yay high
too young to speak his mind, too afraid to die
so i keep my upper lip stiff, let’s get this over with quick
if he hook off, i’m hoping he miss, nope
he caught me real good, one to the jaw
the force of it pushed the back of my head through the wall
now i don’t remember much after the fall
just waking up wheezing
it’s hard to breathe while being kicked down the hall
all because of something so small
he could’ve overlooked it but nah
no child deserves to bе beat ’til he raw
he got crеative with it
fan belts that keep alternators spinning
would be used to rip the flesh even through my denims
i patch them up and wear them jeans the next day
like that’s the new style
classmates be like, todd you wild
if they could only feel the sting
see the terror of this dark era
sworn to secrecy
when teachers ask, i can’t tell ’em
i’m too afraid of what’s gon’ happen to me
if child protectors don’t take me he gon’ rock me to sleep
and i don’t want to see jake taking my dad away
then i’ll be to blame for breaking up my family
my life hasn’t been simple
your experience ain’t new
do you know what i’ve been through
dealing with these starz and stripes?
the pain that i witnessed
through these eyes, it seemed endless
until god taught me forgiveness
for these starz and stripes
v.2
it’s hard to stand
when them blows be coming, i can hear them
vision blurry, eating flurries, nose running crimson
tide, to get the blood out my shirt
body sore, charley horse
a splash of water to regain conscious, i’m hurt
could this be the day i’m leaving this earth
for better for worse, whichever come first
i am not ready to meet christ
i see a light and i’m top heavy
feeling like i’m on beat street getting rocked steady
step mom tried to intervene
a back hand canceled her plans
satan tried to cancel your man
twisting my conscience
create in me the same monster
but yo i rebuke that and i refuse to use that
as my excuse to rebel and live foolish
you choose to sin, plain and simple like the two~step
the lord god took my sins and he forgive me
so i forgive my dad for every blow to the kidneys
for every lash of the belt
ever smash from the impact of the size twelve
for every passionate yell
okay, beg and screaming and crying for help
that he ignored while he was tagging me
i forgive him for not thinking rationally
for assault and battery
chokeholds and grabbing me
bear hugs until my centerfold like a magazine
but god saved him, god changed him
thank you merciful savior
god saved me, god changed me
man you must be crazy
to think you can’t be set free
my life hasn’t been simple
your experience ain’t new
do you know what i’ve been through
dealing with these starz and stripes?
the pain that i witnessed
through these eyes, it seemed endless
until god taught me forgiveness
for these starz and stripes
