Aint mine

 

Have I been here before

  I feel like I've paid this debt once

Am I paying for my fathers sins

When I rely on Not being a partaker of another's sin

I refuse to commit to something

I never possessed I never dealt pain nor disloyalty

Never gave karma a reason to come for me

I've kept away from these things with purpose

Promising to hold regard for my brother

Whether we've laid together or not

Whose debt have I paid

I've thought for years

That I've played it safe

Making sure to never truly offend another

So why am I here

Trying to pay for a second chance

Whose is it anyway

Because I don't own something

I never possessed

So I should by now be reaping

What it is I have sown

I posses unconditional love

Nothing less

So I must reiterate

This debt ain't mine

It doesn't belong to me

How'd it get a price anyway

Because once upon a time

Love was free

Allow me to be loved untainted

By this past I never lived

Let me live as if This is the beginning of my existence

Back in '84 when everything was pure

Before I knew about the price tag

Back when everything was free

Like I said love is suppose to be free

Ain't it?
