Starved
They never told me where I could go;
wherever it is, I know that it’s far.
To take the blame and a consequence
seems the only way they leave me
in charge.
Told my mother I’m sorry
I know we had it hard
but I’ll never forget that I starved.
It’s weird to get close
to my loved dead ones;
the only reason I’d wanna be a star.
Reason of Believing
Beliefs are my own worst enemy,
beliefs are thoughts that’s brief.
Beliefs in life always landed me
in the hottest seats.
I can’t be mad, it’s just one of
them things that was taught to me
and brought to me
just the same way I learned
to walk my feet.
Recovery
That's all I’m praying for my people
My grandma in the hospital, hope
the doctors taking they time with her
I can just guess how my Mom's feeling
all the worry inside of her
her good heart and the kind in her
(it’s like the judge put my time in her)
It got me stressing, it’s got me stressing
In life there ain’t no easy way
(there ain’t no exit)
It gets to me each and every day
I’m incarcerated
(but I can't let it)
Trying to reset my grandmother’s health
but in life there ain’t no settings
It’s crazy behind walls, you can only
give out phone calls, but my biggest fear
is getting a call that she don’t make it
(don't know how I would take it)
So I’m just praying, that's all I can do
I’m just praying, I hope it gets through
I’m just praying, it always helps
no matter the situation
I lost my cousin, all I want is information
In my head screaming f##k the police
we run a investigation
He was found dead, blood leaking
out on the pavement
Why was he hanging with the wrong ones?
(what was he thinking?)
It’s crazy how the ones you idolized
left him hanging
I’m tryin to take all the pain
but at this point, it’s excruciating
Being innocent I’m so frustrated
Biography
Davion D. Boyd (Glacier) is a 22-year-old up-and-coming artist from Dayton, Ohio. He is a poet and vocalist, who writes about his past and the ups and downs of his life — going to prison and family members passing away. He is passionate about expressing his feelings through his voice, and the vibrations explain his deepest thoughts. It shocked him when he started writing and some of his tales were turning into reality; he began to see vivid visuals of the stories relating to his music in action. He noticed that writing would make his pain and hurt go away, and he has worked on his craft so that a day without music or writing is abnormal. He knows he has to work ten times as hard to be heard worldwide. Glacier is currently incarcerated.
