Lael - Find Me (feat. Priska) Lyrics

My baby Rainbow graduate in December
I'm getting on that plane
Back to that place I remember
And that inspired me to get off into this adventure
Of reinventing myself
And tapping my potential
You see that place I went to was Atlanta
Place where I was raised on Krispy Kreme and Fanta
Hippie dreams and ramen noodles
Sevenanda Santa
Eleven years old riding Marta out to Nana's
Blessings to yo soul baby girl
I'm so proud of you
You know I never doubted you
Even though I ran out on you
I'm transparent
I was a terrible parent
The opposite of the prophecy I was incoherent
I was in them streets
Like bump it I'm bout to wear it
And she gone get them diapers
When daddy through running errands
I know I'm over talking
I probably been over sharing
But I just need to clear the interference
You get it
When the going gets tough
My daddy gets going (going)
He on the sideline now
I just wanna throw in (throw in)
My life is upside down
When daddy ain't around
But that dont matter
I need you to find me
I need you beside me Daddy
You got older and started kicking that ball
Soccer star
When daddy left you started kicking that wall (block it all)
Yeah I could see that happiness in your face
In that picture with that man who started taking my place
I was bitter
I was a quitter
I was a bull - bull
Let's just say I never told the truth (you get it)
I admit it
I remember you helping your mama throw my clothes in the lawn
I remember you yelling
Leave us alone
Oh my God ya'll don't know how it feels to write a song
Where you tell somebody how you did em wrong
And that somebody ain't just somebody who just came along
But somebody you brought up into this world to make em strong
A daughter who looked up to you
You carried on your shoulders to the park
And she cried everytime you and her would be apart
When the going gets tough
My daddy gets going (going)
He's on the sideline now
I just wanna throw in (throw in)
My life is upside down
When daddy ain't around
But that dont matter
I need you to find me
I need you beside me Daddy
And I can't forget that amber alert
You put your change together
So you could change the weather
Got on that train
Headed to the airport alone
So you could catch a flight to bring your daddy back home
(Police sirens)
Mama calling and crying
Saying our baby missing
I'm lying sayin I'm trying to get back home
But really I'm just silent in the room
With a hole in my heart
Knowing I tore it apart
But look
I'm here to put these pieces back together
With each new conversation it seem to be getting better
You grown now
You on your own
You won the fight
You living your life
You gave me another chance
I hope I'm getting it right
I hope you understand
I wish I made it back home
I wish you got on that flight
I got a thousand wishes
I got a million dreams to match
(Isn't she lovely)
I wrote that with you laying in my lap
That's real
When the going gets tough
My daddy gets going (going)
He's on the sideline now
I just wanna throw in (throw in)
My life is upside down
When daddy ain't around
But that dont matter
I need you to find me
I need you beside me Daddy
The little one's a trip
The way she be pouting the lips
While she's sleeping
Heavenly Rainbow in the evening
Heavenly Rainbow in the evening
