DNA

What I'm made of is hard to say

The impressions and scars they stay

I hated confession so to god I prayed

Not to the man in the cloth, no way

I was lost

I was lost, okay

We're all lost 'til we find our way

We pay the cost 'til we find that place

Find that shelter, find that escape

I am made of what you are made of

I'm just as fucked up as all of us

But oh well...

I hate self pity so I'll take the blame

I came to the city to stake my claim

It was gritty then far from tame

I was itty bitty man hard was the way

We learned discard all pain

We earned and fought our way

To where we are where we are today

It wasn't easy but it's part of me

I am made of what you are made of

I am made of what you are made of

All my flaws

All my scars

Some are mine

Some are yours

My make-up

It's just

It's just like yours

You and I we are different from them

Can't break us

We're built to endure

But the cost is the loss of innocence

Now I wake up to eyes that are so pure, so pure,

My DNA
