Dedicated

[Verse 1]
The name's Jonathan Thompson
I'm a bottle of problems
Most people see me and they think I'm a monster
And so I become one when you see me in concert
It ain't a mask, bro, it's years of rejection
The strength that it took me to reverse my direction
The links between me and the person I left when the demons grew too great for me to suppress them
And so I became them, and now I can show you
The motherfuckin' pain that you forced me to go through
And all I really know how to do is just write it on the wall
This is the story of my life just the rising of the fall
Tears fell up in my eyes any time I try to write it out
Blood trickles from the pen, now it's time to fight it out
Leave it in the puddle on the floor as I elevate
And never look back
Yo, that's why they call me dedicated

[Bridge]
This is all because of you, all you

[Verse 2]
So you think you know me?
Nah, homie
It ain't just a name when they call me ghostly
How many times I bounced and left state
Left family and friends only to end in mistakes
Then comin' back to say "Hey" but I'm a couple years late
They gave me his address, now I talk to his grave
I don't think anybody knows the sacrifices I made
All the pieces that I lost that brought me here to this day
Just for you to even hear a song that cut you away
That's life in a nutshell, we give and we take
I only wish that what I gave you didn't make you feel hate
And that a couple things I did can maybe make you relate
And maybe put you in a motherfuckin' positive state
But understanding that my heart was made to translate
All the darkness you feel when your whole life's medicated
And so I bring you my darkness because I'm dedicated
