I just don't know where to begin Seems I've been fighting and riding this road for too long Just give me a chance It will not be in vain I've learned through my faults And I've learned through my pain Bled so much and sunk so low I've chalked my hands and chased that score I lay my head on concrete floors I've walked through fire Been through the ring I've stained my eyes with vagrant wings I've tried so hard to keep it clean I've left my love everything I give you my soul and give heartache You fed me your lies And I took the bait I just don't know where to begin Seems I've been fighting and riding this road for too long I've been cut I've been hurt I've been spit out and chewed I've been lost I've been found I've been wronged and abused I have lied I have cheated I've done some things wrong I confess all my sins and I'm singing this song Now all that I've done is all true and right But I get on my knees and I pray to the light I stayed true to myself and the people I've hurt And I never did ever go back on my word I stayed true to myself I stayed true to this world But people don't care they just wanna be heard And nobody cares about telling the truth They want what they want Oh, what can I do? How can I be happy when I'm not myself? It all will mean nothing, your plastic and wealth When you can't look your friends in the eyes Ashamed of the truth beneath all your lies Relations are vapid, cliché and stale Your sole will be crooked Your heart will be frail Truth Gets No Reward Not in whiskey or dimes But life is not worth living behind glass eyes Man is often disillusioned from his aspirations to authenticity and righteousness But I assure you my brothers and sisters All deeds have their consequence We are all siblings of the same creed And in this creed We are wrought by the sinful and malicious Plagued by the deceit imposed upon us by our fellow man How can I call you my brother? My own flesh and blood If you cannot be truthful? We must purge the apathy towards virtue And right the wrongs behind us Marching forward with love in our eyes Only then can we achieve the harmony we desire Only then will we be liberated from our sins At the crossroads of our ascension We must choose to be driven by empathy for each other Because at the end of time Realize we are the brotherhood We must stand together and consolidate in fairness Bonded by love Love for ourselves but more importantly love for mankind We are individuals striving for a better tomorrow And in an age plagued by misguided ideas and deceit I remind you one last time Truth IS rewarded Be authentic Pursue honesty Be the righteous man you want to see staring back at you Practice love and understanding for your brothers of mankind For if you are to slip and be consumed by darkness You have not only failed yourself You have failed your creed So, the next time you are tempted by the grips of malice I leave you with two words…. BE RIGHTEOUS! I just don't know where to begin Seems I've been fighting and riding this road For too long I just don't know where to begin I've come so far Done so much wrong
