Madonna Lyrics for Song: Confessions
 Lyrics for Album: The Confessions Tour [2007]
 
 
 
 1552>I have a tale to tell
 
 
 
 I was three feet from the floor, gasping for air
 
 Trying to release my fathers hands from my throat
 
 I looked into his eyes and wondered
 
 If my feet would ever touch the floor again
 
 
 
 Have you ever been hit so hard
 
 That it sends your body flying across the room
 
 We all fall to the floor at some point
 
 It's how you pick yourself up, that's the real challenge, isn't it?
 
 
 
 I've always lived in my own world, I dance to escape my troubles
 
 I've learnt that there's light even in the darkest places
 
 I can't blame my father for anything
 
 You can't rely on other people to make you happy
 
 But I know deep down inside he loved me
 
 
 
 It was a time I suffered so much
 
 I wanted to get it out of me
 
 I would cut my arms, not to kill myself, I don't want to die
 
 I know I am lucky to be on this earth
 
 
 
 I did it so the physical pain would calm the pain
 
 That was eating me inside, nothing was erased
 
 I live with my past tucked away, deep inside of me
 
 It comes out as an explosion and it invades me
 
 
 
 I believe we are messengers on earth
 
 I believe in Angels
 
 I am blessed by God to tell myself I suffered that much
 
 To become who I am today
 
 
 
 Now you have to realize not only do I have a family
 
 But now I have a whole hood and that's power
 
 But I ain't no primy ass nigga
 
 I was never out to kill anybody
 
 Specially when I made that decision of gang bang, I just wanted to fit in
 
 
 
 But one day I was forced to do something
 
 That made me open my eyes and realize that this ain't no game
 
 One of the homies got popped
 
 And I was the first one doing my first drop by
 
 It was kinda fucked up the way they tried to set me up
 
 
 
 Me and my bro, we was headed back to the A block
 
 Then some homies rolled up and they asked us to go somewhere
 
 We pulled up to the corner
 
 Then he pressed the chunky ass gun in my lap
 
 He said you know what to do really, it's time to get poppy for the hood
 
 
 
 That was not to kill anybody
 
 1552>
