laugh at the rain

ANOMALY (Verse 1) You ever seen your mom get torn apart, no saving her, no change of heart? Hiding in cupboards, whispering prayers, hoping they don’t take her back to the dark. Choices? Nah, they made ‘em for me, roads were laid and paved before me. Raised by demons, lesser beings, hated ‘cause loyalty stayed before me. They plotted, schemed, expected me blind, But I saw through the veil, I read through the signs. Single dad worked till his hands went numb, Only to lose what he bled for, son. Best friend died in my arms that day, Tears in his eyes, but he couldn’t stay. Blood on the concrete, sun in the sky, Another ghost walks, another soul flies. (Chorus) I been through the fire, I been through the chains, I carried the weight, I lived through the pain. They wanted me gone, they wanted me tamed, But I walk through the storm and laugh at the rain. (Verse 2) Broad day killings, rush hour fate, Man stood burning, but nobody braked. They just drove past, no slowing of speed, A life erased like a lost receipt. Ever spoke words that shifted a soul, Stopped a killer from reaching his goal? Ever been tailed from the night to the dawn, Neighbors move out, but the watchers stay on? Born an anomaly, built for the weight, Knowing the world, but still choosing faith. They push me to snap, they beg me to break, But I smile through hell and spit in its face. (Chorus) I been through the fire, I been through the chains, I carried the weight, I lived through the pain. They wanted me gone, they wanted me tamed, But I walk through the storm and laugh at the rain. (Bridge) Do you know what it’s like to love past breath? To walk away ‘cause the war needs depth? Ever held ransom, a soul in your hands, And gave up your gain just to settle the debt? (Outro) You speak of struggle, but you don’t know this, I bleed through the page, I write through abyss. They wanted me lost, erased, insane, But I bear my cross and shoulder the pain.
