Home Truths

Title: Home Truths

[Chorus - Sing]
From the heart, a childs life torn apart
This is the story of a painful youth
People throwin darts, why do they start
This is nothin but home truths

[Verse 1]
I try to keep my composure despite rumours and exposure
The grapevine around me adds to the weight on my shoulders
I'm only 17 but gotta act older and at times it's hard to handle
I wasnt ever shown one, so how can I set a good example?
I've been trampled on and kicked down through the years
And it appears my peers like to see me close to or in tears
My biggest fear is that my brothers sometime feel how I do
I'd die for 'em so they dont live with what I've lived through
And I aint gon' renew no-more grudges, they not in my plans
Ya'll gotta understand I aint a coward I'm just the bigger man
I dont wanna put my hands on anyone, turnin over a new leaf
My beefs will be brief coz I'll just sit back and I'll grit my teeth
I just can't believe everybody always gotta run their mouth
Talkin bout me and talkin bout shit they know nothin about

[Chorus - Sing]
From the heart, a childs life torn apart
This is the story of a painful youth
People throwin darts, why do they start
This is nothin but home truths

[Verse 2]
In 2002 my uncle died, my whole perception on life changed
Between me and my friends hurtful words were exchanged
So I had to re-arrange my thoughts, I admit that I was wrong
That shit went on too long, but we back where we belong
And as a unit we're strong, cant nothin ever bring us down
All my life ya'll been around, and we growin up together now
I vow to be here for you all, how could I allow myself to go
I want ya'll to know I wont leave, no-matter what life throws
Although we've had our highs and lows we got through it
And if there's anythin I can do for ya'll, believe me I'll do it
So I commit my future to bein with my friends, by their sides
Coz they've been by mine everytime I smiled happily or cried
So I think of ya'll with pride, it's just the way that I should
Coz I'm glad ya'll have been with me through my childhood

[Chorus - Sing]
From the heart, a childs life torn apart
This is the story of a painful youth
People throwin darts, why do they start
This is nothin but home truths

It was a good piece, except I have to say for the first verse, it looked like you took a lot from the Eminem song "LIke Toy Soldiers" I don't know if this was intentional or not, but I think if you listen to the song you'll find a lot of similarities. If you've never heard it before, I'd say 8/10 If you have, then it's a 5/10

real nice piece here, i usually dont like verses that have a simple rhyme scheme but you used it very affectively i thought, the verses were very fluent.. very good at keeping the reader interested, stayed on topic like a pro, u got alot of potential kid, stay up and keep at this shit, peep mines
