Confessions Lyrics - The Confessions Tour - Live From London (cd+dvd) - Madonna

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 

Photos 

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
