Damn Songtext
von The Federation

Twenty-seven years I been sittin′ up here
Doin' the same ol′ thing
Drinkin' and smokin' and lustin′
For a young single thick and tender thing
It′s a shame
But I really don't think I′m gon' change
So I pray to the Lord to watch over me
While I′m goin' through this wonderful thing


Damn
Let me be myself
Let me be free
Damn
I think that′s nasty
I'm so filthy and guilty
Damn
It might not be much
Of my modesty
Damn
I'm so sorry I offend you
But right now you have to bear with me

I didn′t ask to be here
Life is so confusing
I need to find an answer
Can′t die with all this mystery
I didn't ask to be here


Let me write you this letter
The date is March 8th
The day I decided just to lose my faith
I′m waitin' for my daddy
This was after the divorce
And guess what he did
Just left me on the porch
It hurt the worst way
Damn it really did
My mama said quit makin′ my kids promises
But she ain't right neither
She don′t know how I felt
How you gon' spend the child support on your God damn self
Ain't thinkin′ ′bout school
So I might as well quit
Damn little Teejay ain't gon′ never be (never be)
Lookin' out my window
Turn off my TV
How come all these little kids always gotta tease me
Sometimes I think
What if I didn′t exist
What if my mama and my daddy
Never even kissed
Spread my wings and just free my soul
Or live in this troubled life
My heart frozen and cold
Man I don't know

I didn′t ask to be here
Life is so confusing
I need to find an answer
Can't die with all this mystery
I didn't ask to be here

One day my life happened to take a wrong turn on me
Then I lost my closest homies
Replace ′em with new ones
But damn still I feel lonely
Only if you knew what I been through
You would feel for me
All I ask my family to do
Is to keep it real for me
Surrounded by fake steel
And I can′t get it off my brain
Tryna change is 'bout to drive me insane
The pain maintain thinkin′ 'bout this change
And angel God take my daddy
Stressin′ off the fact
Feel like it's shot me and stabbed me
Somebody grab me ′cause I'm finna flip
Can't even trust a bitch
Every time I turn my back
She′s lustin′ on the next man's dick
Now I′m in ishtick
Reminiscin' back when I used to live with Rick D
Always knew it′d come to this
Gotta stand on my own now
I'm grown now
Still facin′ repercussions of hangin' out with the wrong crowd
Damn
I wonder if the Lord is watchin' over me still
′Cause I ain′t been to church in so long
I need to be healed
Real deep bad

I didn't ask to be here
Life is so confusing
I need to find an answer
Can′t die with all this mystery
I didn't ask to be here
Life is so confusing
I need to find an answer
Can′t die with all this mystery
