Splinter

The world is cold as a winter

And people gonna get up under your skin like a splinter

I got a whole lot of issues that are unresolved

I went 2 weeks without seeing nobody, just my dog

His name is Blao, he's the closest thing to a child

I may ever have, I'm selfish as hell, why lie

Too self absorbed of relationships, still I try

From time to time to find me one for my life

And my patterns are hard for a decent woman to

Respect or accept, so whores I keep em' comin through

In the bed with a babbling bitch that loves me

And she bad it's just some about it's ugly

After we finish, I hate when she try to touch me

It ain't her fault, that's just me

I slowly weigh down, but I ain't perfect though

Relapse is a record that I done heard before

And I'm no Marshall Mathers, I'm talking Andy Mathis

I'm talking deadly habits, it's so sad and tragic

The world is cold as a winter

And people gonna get up under your skin like a splinter

I know I'm a sinner

But all I can do is pray, god just take the pain away

Cause I'm cold as the winter

And life done got up under my skin like a splinter

I know I'm a winner

But all I can do is pray, don't let me lose my faith today

I tried my best to be so good to some folks

The same people showed me betrayal up close

The flip side of that coin is I've been negligent

With a lot of my real friends I never meant

To let a day turn into a month and then a year

Without speaking to you, I know that it appears

I just forgot about y'all but really in truth

I forgot about me too, this igloo

I built around myself it's so frigid

And it ain't melting away, I don't dig it

I know life is gone, I'm gon' miss it

It's like it never was here, if you don't live it

I think about the past and get so livid

What the fuck was you thinking, I don't get it

You so capable, personality magnetic

Life could have been so good if you had let it

The world is cold as a winter

And people gonna get up under your skin like a splinter

I know I'm a sinner

But all I can do is pray, god just take the pain away

Cause I'm cold as the winter

And life done got up under my skin like a splinter

I know I'm a winner

But all I can do is pray, don't let me lose my faith today

I may not be the shit to you but where I come from

Them people love Bub, therefor I must just

Stay faithful, the lord got his hands on me

And you don't hate me, you just don't understand, homie

There from humble beginnings I saw limitless

Possibility, fear was my only nemesis

Along the way I forfeited my innocence

But that is ok, thank you lord

For all the pain, the affliction

It's like a mirror in my face that I need to see

All my loss, my addiction

Showed me something that I really needed to know about me

It's like a shape to me, you're more than me

Killing this heart is controlling me

Though I'm out of control, you still order me

Folding me up inside your hands and the words don't come

The world is cold as a winter

And people gonna get up under your skin like a splinter

I know I'm a sinner

But all I can do is pray, god just take the pain away

Cause I'm cold as the winter

And life done got up under my skin like a splinter

I know I'm a winner

But all I can do is pray, let me make it through the day

Let me make it through the day
