Farewell Lyrics by Sam Mackey

Take It OR Leave It

2013

[Verse 1: Sam Mackey]
Thanks for listening to take it or leave it
I'm an artist for my own benefit
Not so you can worship it or spit on it
Take what you need from it
And if that means nothing then keep walking
Your validation is not a price I require anymore
I require an open-mind and if not there's the door
I will not be the receiving end of your self-hate core
Everything has been taken from me
My eyes I can't see
My heart I can't feel the music's beat
I lost all materialistic
And I became another female statistic
The physical violation
Caused a mental assassination
I sunk deeper and deeper into isolation
Turned my back, bitter to the population
I attacked myself
Took a huge hit to the health
But the saddest part is I can't laugh
My smile is my brightest feature
And he took that from me
I thought I was the monster
I thought I was the creature
But you know what the best part is?
I didn't reach for the liquor store
The needle or the pipe that would have left me dead on the bathroom floor
Cause I will not let him win
I will not let him take everything I have worked so damn hard for
You see these tattoos on my middle fingers?
They are the anchors that keep me grounded from the memories that still linger
One on the left one on the right
To keep me balanced cause I know my dreams of peace are still in sight
And finally I got these tattoos
For the classic middle finger salute
Here I stand on stage stronger than ever screaming out fuck you!
So go ahead, take it or leave it
Take everything I have
But you cannot have the skin on my back
The sores on my feet
And the tears I worked so hard to weep
