A Born Addiction

I WAS BORN NOVEMBER 26,1989
WHERE I WAS BORN A LIVING
BUT STILL LABLE A CRIME
IM A BORN ADDICTION
YEAH I KNOW WHAT I AM
BUT IT DOES NOT MAKE ME DIFFERENT
CAUSE I AM WHO I AM
IVE BEEN MOVING ALL MY LIFE FROM STATE TO STATE
AND FROM CITY TO CITY
AND NO MATTER WHERE I GO THE STRESS IS STILL WITH ME
I TRIED READING, WRITING AND EVEN A LONG VACATION
I SPOKE TO A COUNSELOR THAT PUT ME ON TEMPERORY MEDICATION
I DONT UNDERSTAND NOTHING ABOUT THIS STAGE IN LIFE
DO WE WALK WITH OUR HEADS DOWN
AND DO WE LOSE OUR RIGHTS
IM A BORN ADDICTION
JUST ADDICTED TO THE SYSTEM
I CANT BELIEVE THIS WORLD AND THE THINGS THAT IM HITTING
I NEED TO PUT THE PIECES TO THE PUZZLE
CAUSE IF I DONT I  KNOW I WOULD BE HEADING INTO TROUBLE
IM TRYING TO SHAKE SOMETHING
WITH A LITTLE BIT OF MOTION
BUT MY MIND IS BLURY
AND I CANT STAND THE HURTING
IM A BORN ADDICTION
VICTIMIZE TO SOCIETY
IM A YOUNG LADY THAT PRAY FOR LOVE AND EQUALITY
IM A BORN ADDICTION AND THE STRUGGLE IS HARD
BUT THE CHALLENGE FOR SUCCESS WILL MAKE YOU GO FAR
IT'S HERE AGAIN JUST ANOTHER LOST SOUL
STRUGGLING TO GET OUT TO FIND WHAT THEY OWN
I AM WHO I AM
NO MATTER IF PEOPLE LOVE ME
CAUSE THE LAST TIME I CHECKED
GOD WAS THE ONLY PERSON THAT WAS MENT TO JUDGE ME
IM A BORN ADDICTION
BORN TO BE FREE
AND AS LONG AS IM LIVING I CANT ALLOW THE DEVIL TO RULE ME
IM A BORN ADDCITION
AND I JUST CHANGED MY LIFE
AND NO MATTER WHAT IM DOING MY WORNGS WILL ALWAYS BE MY RIGHTS
SO IM GOING TO PROVE TO EVERYONE THAT IM NOT VANDILIZE TO THE SYSTEM
I SPEAK MY HEART BECAUSE IM A BORN ADDICTION
THINK ABOUT IT
