Facts bigger than fiction cause you was never there
Dad was, told us you had fled the lair
Outta of his hair and stayed in his mind
But in due time you would find that leaving early was the greatest crime
Pops passing was the hardest yet
Gave Allie the crib and cried in the grass in AZ after feelings set
Warm tones on my brown skin, couldn't see the rays
Cause the pain I was feeling was being held in
Man
My older brother got a temper
Like when you in the kitchen during holidays before the dinner
My granny quick to stab, cut you up and cuss you out
But if you needed a place stay man, they family they'll help you out
My younger brother joined the military, like you get a fairy
With a shake and cherry
But they pick and choose
Whether ya win or lose
When you pay ya dues
Commoners play the muse
Singing the same tunes that's on the news
Okay
Girl you know I gotchu
Let you carry ya weight
So we up to date and I'll spot chu
Moved from outta state but my heart's near
And it's clear that I fear
What I don't know more than the distance
Which made this real
Like a train chugging, I know the destination great
Like a painting the finished touch is whats always late
What scares me more than closed doors
Is fact that I'm not around
To hold you up when problems arise
I'm out here fighting wars
La, La, La, La, La, La, La
La, La, La, La, La, La, La
Feeling pressure and I'm in my lane
I learned a lot from both my parents
This a teaching game
The fire force is really in me so I came to rain
Hear his voice everywhere, just like how birds sang
Birds sang like winter blues
In the sky you looking to, fade away, sunny skies brightens day
Mind is clear, here we go
Seep in the fear, spiral down, deeper dive
The more I strive
To hide these feelings of this pain deep inside I just
Yo
Let me take it back a little
Try and tackle anachronisms that leave me cripple
Summer days, sipping lemonade
Drawing comics, summer shade
Getting grounded by my pops
Man I was the perfect age
Yet I didn't see the crippling truth
Of decisions to eat the devilish fruit
I miss the yelling and fights that turned to laughter and lesson
While you were here I never said it often
But thanks for the blessing
I love you
La, La, La, La, La, La, La
La, La, La, La, La, La, La
