Silk Crows |
| Can’t be right that I ain’t seen you all these years |
| Broken fragments of my life are put together with these tears |
| Its the third time I’ve tried to talk about you in a verse |
| To the girl who gave my name and put my presence on this earth |
| As your son, the second scarred kid you never raised |
| Cold Henny in the glass as I think about the days |
| Of people saying I look like you used to piss me off |
| Cos what I thought you did was spiteful but who am I to judge |
| Could never understand your views and ways and why you would deceive me |
| My grandma used to back you said you never had it easy |
| You abandoned and deceived a bad seed a school truant |
| Days of staring at the door wishing you’d walk through it |
| On the cold stairwell observing life through a broken lens |
| Wishing I can call you after a fight with my older friends |
| Or maybe falling off my first bike, my first offence |
| Shotting weed, for my growth you were all that I need |
| And trust I mean no disrespect to my gran she did her best |
| Probably saved me from the streets putting a hole in my chest |
| She took us in clothes on our back food on the table |
| The first family in the hood to have movies on cable |
| I’ll never forget the fun we had cos she loved us bad |
| Ducking bullets on the fuzzy screen with a strap |
| I loved her for that in every struggle man she always held it down |
| My pops would bring a lot of stress when he would come around |
| But fuck him I know he’s the main reason why you broke down |
| I heard the rumours of his abuses when he was smoked out |
| I can’t lie though it came to girls he gave me good advice |
| He saw my daughter more times than I’ve seen you in my life |
| And that’s twisted to see your presence as an apparition |
| Left me to learn from all the actions and your bad decisions |
| Feels like my back is in prison trying to survive |
| Hoping that my daughter sees a father when she looks in my eyes |
| Hoping it makes you smile to see your son raising a child |
| I feel lost like Malcolm X when he was facing a trial |
| Thrown in the deep end sometimes I really feel like leaving |
| This world’s deceiving I grip the stout and blow some trees in the wind |
| As I think of all the things I learnt without you (without you) |
| All the things I learnt without you (learnt without you) |
| (yo, never doubtful) |
