TORN FROM A DIFFERENT CLOTH

Lyrics

I have lived this life, I've been liv'n
this way for far too long.... allowing family to keep me in my own self prison
of my past that I wish they would let go of it all
trying to keep me small....never can say anything nice about me ...noth'n at all
but when and what they....say brings
about my past that they're keep 'n alive but that person they speak on
is long gone,
she no longer exist inside.

I'm done b'n judge, for my past that is not if my present, by the ones I love
who should have my back but
instead that is what they stab
with every chance they get
that I'm so done with all of them..

I can be just as ugly - none of you really know me - and aside for you all
I'm torn from a different cloth - try'n to live by what I've been taught....
to love thyself and love thy neighbor take heed not to judge or hold a grudge never partake in with tongues of slander
it's wrong of all of you to judge me
the way you do but keep pushing me away.......
please do me that favor...

ohhh ooohhh ohhhh oooooo

we weren't all raised the same
all were raised in different times and spaces between our age
either way we live our own lives
I think all of you take too much interest in all I do and
I didnt think I need your permission it's you that lacks respect for me
you should know...
you take note of where I go
questioning me where I've been
and who I've been with and
judge me because of who I claim as a friend....
you've made me a prisoner in my own skin cuz there is nothing that I do that ever satisfies any of you and when you talk among yourselves and leaving me out of conversations you keep n secret
that come nit long after out of how one felt about me in situations
making me out to always be the blame discuss'n amongst those not involved giving them the wrong impression allowing them to have an opinion of aggression, allowing them to also be disrespecting of me....

ohhh ooohhh ohhhh Ooooooo oooooo oooohh

you wanted the truth
so here I give it to you
serving it up on a silver platter and don't say you do what it is you do out of love because I know better

and the fact of the matter is I've never done and wouldn't think to do these acts on to any of you
no one is perfect and I sure never claim to be but I have one question
is my name good enough to fall from your lips,
out of your mouth but no point to make to spend time with and to accept me now???
instead you hold on to my past keeping alive the doubt and talk a whole lot you know nothing about.

well I'm done being judged for my past that is not of my present
by the ones I love
who should have my back
but instead it's what they stab
with every chance they be given
I'm just so done with all of them

I can be just as ugly
none of you really know me
aside from you all I'm torn From a different cloth
trying to live what I've been taught love thyself and love thy neighbor take heed on judging never hold a grudge yeah don't partake in with tons of slander but just keep on pushing me away please do me that favor
I refuse to be abused mentally anymore I've lost all respect for those
I used to have respect for
but I won't sink down to your level
nor shrink myself to belittle anyone's character....i will never...waste my breath on those who stoop that low
soooo.....to my other relatives who like to lie, do you know you are not and never will be a part of my life?
and I make it a point not to get to know you because I really don't want to....

so too all just know I am done with being judged for a past that is not present
and I'm done with being disrespected

I can be just as ugly
none of you really know me
or the life I've hid
one you wouldn't comprehend
but aside from you all I'm torn
from a different cloth
just trying to live by
what I've been taught
to love thyself and to love thy neighbor take heed on not to judge
or hold a grudge and I won't partake n with those who use tongues to slander! it's wrong of all of you
to judge me in the ways that you all do but keep pushing me away.........
please do me that favor.....

ohhhhhhh OOooo ohhhh ooohhhh oooohhhh

I came into this world alone with nothing I'll leave it just the same without any of you I gotten through some of the hardest times with having nothing I must be strong or something

oooohhhh Ooooooo ooohh ooooohhh Ooooooo
