lil black boy

I'm back though dressed in all black clothes
tried to lock me out 
forgot about the backdoor
thought i would flat-line cause y'all got each others backs
no one backs mine
but me 
thats ok 
cause pain is pain
games are played 
thing escalate
3 vs 1 and I'm the 1
i like those odds 
cause i am strong
beat me bad 
may even break bones 
you wont break my spirit
you wont take my soul
bounce back 
every time like re-boards
destined for great things even though i might detour
with the world against me
and my life going hard
i look in the mirror and still see the lil boy with all the heart
