Lyrics Bring It Back - The Grouch

Bring It Back

Dear momma tell me, why’s it gotta be so hard?
I’m just tryin' to find my place and I’m still so far
I don’t wanna live the rest of my life like this
Somebody help this hell its disguised my gifts
And dear son I will do better cause I owe you that much
I must push on, be strong, and never give up
Now bring it back, bring it back, bring it back
Bring it back, bring it back, bring it back
1 boy with 3 sisters, 2 perfect parents
And a brand new home completes the picture
Oh yeah, you had a dog
We used to visit on thanksgiving
But were treated rather odd sometimes, like we was misfits
Me and my brothers would fart and cuss
But that was some regular kid shit, Auntie Terry didn’t like that
I know she sheltered y’all a bit
I used to think that was the right track
You ate proper watched your bed times and such
Went to church every Sunday
And we would rough you up when we saw ya
But you was tough though on the under
Not tough enough to deal with the lightning, and thunder
A momma’s boy felt when his momma boned out
Left ya, high and dry so that she could zone out
I know it hurt for that she’s dirt but maybe we could forgive her
If she don’t cry you no river, just get her life together
(Hook)
Somebody did you wrong, my cousin
It wasn’t your fault your momma wasn’t strong
Keep lovin', I see you fallin' down
While im rubbin' elbows round the town im feelin your pain though
You try and ease it but the drugs make your head hang low
Search for a reason from above, it just ain’t so
You’re dyin' slow, folks around you cryin tryin everything
But it feels like there ain’t no hope
And so I write this song before you die
Cause music can not bring you back no matter how we try
And you know you ain’t right
Your son’s mothers already gone now your on life Matthew
I say it cause it’s true I wanna wake you
Human I wanna shake you so you can make a breakthrough and fix it
I dont understand what the risk is
I love you man handle your business
(Hook)
