Too Late |
Sixty-five years must’ve been too much to bear |
For an insecure black man livin' on the verge of despair |
Too much resentment and too much hate |
From which there can be no easy escape |
It’s too late, there’s nothing left to give |
Not for your woman, you got nothin' for your kids |
It’s too late, there’s nothing left to hide |
So you go your way, and I’ll go mine |
2nd Verse |
My father and I don’t get along |
He’s always right, I’m always wrong |
We never talk… he'd rather hide |
Preening his pride and pruning mine |
It’s too late, there’s nothing left to give |
Not for your woman, you got nothin' for your kids |
It’s too late, there’s nothing left to hide |
So you go your way, and I’ll go mine |
Bridge |
I tried to talk to him, to go beyond the insults and lies |
Depending on the love to keep the family alive |
He said, «I don’t wanna talk on account of the pressure of my blood» |
I said, «Can't we talk on account of love ««I'm reaching out to you» |
He said, «Don't reach out to me» |
«But I love you! |
I love you! |
Dad… don't you love me?» |
He stared straight ahead at the basketball game on his precious TV |
And he never even opened his mouth… |
He never even opened his mouth to me… and now |
It’s too late, there’s nothing left to give |
Not for your woman, you got nothin' for your kids |
It’s too late, there’s nothing left to hide |
So you go your way, and I’ll go mine |
You go your way, you go your way… |
And I’ll go mine |
