No Rebounds

They called me the silenced kid locked in the cage of society,

I didn't have the balls to speak up, lil' man had anxiety,

So, all I could do was front and respond ever so politely,

When they'd say they wanna fight me, I just smiled brightly,

The cost of lying to yourself is brutally pricey,

All the temptations to buy it were haunting me nightly,

So, eventually I bought in, but the cashier forgot my receipt,

She told me that when you choose this life, you don't ever get

released,

I muttered a "bitch, please" as I left and headed for the streets,

Didn't think nothing of it until the shit was in my dreams,

That note bugged me out, but all I did was shrug it out,

If I never thought about it, then it would never come up out,

No rebounds, I guess I must've asked for it,

Too many coincidences for this to have been an accident...
