The south taught me sleep is the cousin of death
So my eyes stay open methodically exhaling dragons breath
Depression catches me as I fight for my freedom
Death steals my friends but they say God is with them
Life is good just keep your head up and stay positive
Remember the road to happiness isn't always definitive
The life I live is portrayed far less then heavenly
I defy your God, deny your law, but don't falsify my charity
I've seen the sunshine and almost drowned in the rain
Landed on my knees in front of God exhausted from pain
Hit rock bottom then spit my blood onto the ground
Picked my head up and smiled cause Nothing can keep me down
