ContraVein - AndreA

Looking at myself and how far I've came
Back then nobody even knew my name
I used to be looked down on as the face of shame
Now I'm at the top with all this countless fame
Things haven't always been this way
Ever since my seventh birthday
I've been tip-toeing the line of life like ballet
Life seemed like a never ending hallway
Tried to balance work and school
Also trynna be real real cool
Instead I was the one to be ridiculed
I felt so tiny like a molecule
Everywhere I went I got pushed around
They put my head under water, I almost drowned
Punched me so hard I fell to the ground
Never did I have any friends around
There was this one real big kid in specific
The size of his muscles really was horrific
I'm not sure of his name, I think it was John
He would stand around and wait for me at every dawn
Every day he'd beat me within an inch of my life
I was always too afraid to start a fight
Then he'd spit on my limp body and walk away
Everything he told me to do I had to obey
Sometimes you just gotta push through the hard times
You gotta remember that you've only got one lifetime
Push through all the hate and the reckless crime
So you can make it through the hard hard time
Sometimes you just gotta push through the hard times
You gotta remember that you've only got one lifetime
Push through all the hate and the reckless crime
So you can make it through the hard hard time
So that John I was telling you about, he got arrested
I guess there was a girl that he molested
While he was in custody he also got drug testes
High on crack and heroin just as I suspected
It was great to see justice for that heartless jerk
Once I got better and my muscles didn't irk
My parents forced me to go back to work
My life was starting to seem less dark
I met some friends, yeah we were real tight
At the end of the tunnel I saw a little light
Until that one time we were driving at night
Got into an accident, I was the only one that was alright
All my friends are dead and now I'm left here to cry
That night all I wanted to do was just to die
I sat up all night just looking at the sky
I was about ready to say goodbye
Put the gun in my mouth but something caught my eye
A beautiful girl walking down the street I could not deny
She reminded me of the good times and why I shouldn't die
I was about to die for reasons not to justify
Sometimes you just gotta push through the hard times
You gotta remember that you've only got one lifetime
Push through all the hate and the reckless crime
So you can make it through the hard hard time
Sometimes you just gotta push through the hard times
You gotta remember that you've only got one lifetime
Push through all the hate and the reckless crime
So you can make it through the hard hard time
The next day I met that girl, her name was Andrea
Talking to her felt like my life was under way, yeah
I asked her on more dates without delay, ah
I couldn't believe such a beauty could be my bae, ah
Andrea and I would take nice walks in the park
We would lay in the grass and just talk until it was dark
When I was with her I really felt a spark
Who would've known that's where our journey would embark
We would travel everywhere, low and high
We even took a couple trips to Shanghai
Just me and the girl that helped me not to die
Just my lovely Andrea and I
Sometimes you just gotta push through the hard times
You gotta remember that you've only got one lifetime
Push through all the hate and the reckless crime
So you can make it through the hard hard time
Sometimes you just gotta push through the hard times
You gotta remember that you've only got one lifetime
Push through all the hate and the reckless crime
So you can make it through the hard hard time
