Built Strong To Last Long

By Golden Ghetto Kidd

I can be strong all by myself i don't need you or anyones help i can be strong all by myself i don't need you or anyone else standing tall like i always done standing above the rain, seeing the sun made of concrete, stone and gravel, no distance is to far for me to travel nothing can break me i'm like steel go ahead, bruise me, cut me, i easily heal my walls are built far, thick, and wide making sure no one can get inside, you will never look into my eyes and feel my pain inside, you will never see the real me behind my stone mask so it would be useless for you to ask my problem is, i have this fear that one morning when i wake up, everyone i love won't be here i don't want to wake up left out alone in the rain, to prevent the pain i know will come, the kind of pain i'm running from i'll build myself up of unbreakable stone and re-teach myself to be alone, if i'm built strong, i'll last long, i can be strong all by myself no crutches or safety pins, and no ones help you don't really get it, i'm pushing you away to protect you because no one knows what would happen if i drag you down too i'm only pushing you out to save your heart from the pain i hold that could rip it apart i love you so much i need to protect your soul from all the things that can turn it black as coal so when i say i can handle myself i really can strong as concrete, taller then rain is how i stand i'm protecting you, the pain can tear you to shreds i'm saving you the pain, and letting it kill me instead
