A Gift & A Curse

You wanna see the best of me

You gotta see the worst of me

You wanna see the gift of me

You gotta see the curse of me

You gotta see the world I've seen

You gotta see the dreams I've dreamed

Now nobody sees me at all

The rise and fall

You'd have to see what I've seen

Be what I've been to achieve these dreams

Be a teen on a UK street

Scared for your life getting chased through the night

Now the world's getting ruthless

You gotta ride out, everybody's on a hype

And the manner's gone stupid, so have I

All you ever do is bring me down

I'm living up to the name that you gave me tonight

And now I'm signed

It's like everybody wants me to live a lie

I ain't chirpy, I'm dirty, I come from a place

Where the good die young and the bad die when it's their time

This ain't a screw face

Just know that my head's inside two worlds, so my new name's Two-Face

You wanna see the best of me

You gotta see the worst of me

You wanna see the gift of me

You gotta see the curse of me

You gotta see the world I've seen

You gotta see the dreams I've dreamed

Now nobody sees me at all

The rise and fall

I've showed you the gift, let me show you the curse

You get big then vultures emerge

And so-called friends try poling your bird

Once again I gotta roll on the curb

And I try live my life with morals

But find myself in many more quarrels

So I seek salvation in words

I'm Emily Rose, I got a gift and a curse

The reason I flourished and grew

Might be the reason I feel malnourished and blue

I felt the pain of the world

My arteries run to the chambers of hell

All I know is from a young man's view

I've seen some things that were made in this world

Sometimes the grass is greener

Sometimes it's quite hard to tell

You wanna see the best of me

You gotta see the worst of me

You wanna see the gift of me

You gotta see the curse of me

You gotta see the world I've seen

You gotta see the dreams I've dreamed

Now nobody sees me at all

The rise and fall

Head in the sky but my hands on the floor

Heart that does not know surprises in store

You gotta see the world I've seen

You gotta see the dreams I've dreamed

Now nobody sees me at all

The rise and fall
