"Places" lyrics

Places that I've gone, I've gotta tell you
The voices in my mind, I gotta cut right through
But, God, I've learned to cope, I've gotta tell you
The memories of my past I done put me through

There's blood on my shirt, still stained
Our forever, baby
Woke up in the morning, got high just to pass the day
Buzzin' my phone, no answer 'cause I don't got no time
I'm packing up and leaving out because the neighborhood is on fire

Some days I've done still feel like a dozen rains
Still waiting for the sun to shine
There's places that I've never been
I think I'd like to go tonight
I think I'd like to go tonight

Places that I've gone, I've gotta tell you
The voices in my mind, I gotta cut right through
But, God, I've learned to cope, I've gotta tell you
The memories of my past I done put me through

Places that I've gone, I've gotta tell you
The voices in my mind, I gotta cut right through
But, God, I've learned to cope, I've gotta tell you
The memories of my past I done put me through

When I was just a child they used to tell me
The steps that I take foresay my destiny
But now I'm much older, I stand tall
Moving through the places that were seeking me

Places that I've gone, I've gotta tell you
The voices in my mind, I gotta cut right through
But, God, I've learned to cope, I've gotta tell you
The memories of my past I done put me through

I got to tell you now
I need to tell you now
I got to cut right through
I need to cut right through

I need to tell you
I need to tell you now
What you put me through
What you put me through
