You look at me and stare
You criticised my actions
And you even judged my hair
You know nothing about my life
Only what's before you is what you see
What I've hidden is all the strife
That went into making me
See the lines, wrinkles on my face?
Ask yourself what happened in my life
And try to see what brought me to this place
Look deep within, maybe you'll see
All the pain and tears I suffered
Understand the struggles through the years
Look at all that went into making me
I've been lied to and I've been betrayed
I've been knocked down over and over
I've loved deeply only to see my lover stray
I've even been robbed by those I called brothers
You think you know me? You don't have a clue!
There is so much more to me
If you only knew
