Rusty guitar strings

I've been scared all my life
so now I can be mysterious and black
I've carried out my sentence as a wimp
so now I can be the mack
I've been sitting so long in the waiting room
so now I can make my mark
I stood so long in the sun
I couldn't see through the dark
I starved my shadow through the night
so I don't have to look back to a bigger man
I've been passed around so much in my life
so now I can be the leather gloved hands
for years I've been the apprentice
so I'm not judging the liar
I've been soaking for so long
its my turn to walk out the fire.
