Behan the Scene - Message Lyrics

This message is for everyone
This message is for you, grandma
No difference with you, grandpa
It's for my uncles, aunts, and the baby I wish I met
I go everyday thinkin' what it'd be like if y'all never left
It's just unreal for me to believe that you're gone
As I see it, there ain't gon' be a way I'll move on
Come on, what's going on
I know, but I hate the fact you'll never respond
You'll never pick up again
A wound will only heal if you stop touching it
But I can't forget everything you meant to me as a kid
I can still feel you though the tension's been stiff
I turn back on our past and it shocks me that I fell shy
Of all the chances I could've spoke to you, that's why
When each year winds down, our memories wind up
I wish I could grasp you in my arms, give you a long hug
Please send this to them, let them know that they're still loved
I just can't forget the face of someone that was my last hope
Our time spent was not wise
I'll see you later 'cause there's no such thing as "goodbye"
There's no more reaching you
By now you should have gotten my message
The message, oh those messages
I'd give anything back just to be with you
By now you should have gotten my message
Did it get to you, get through to you
This message is for my family
My friends or who's listening
Any person that can hear me
Any person that I'm missing
This message is for you, my friends
I pray this road continues
All this time we've spent together is special
Actions speak louder than words, I'm just a hypocrite
But to look at you now, hurts
Words can't describe it
I've lost friends and family
I can't handle this
How do you let go of someplace where you felt welcome
When now if you show up, you've invaded and they won't tell ya
Thank you for being a part of this journey
Hope we see each other in the future
See how we've turned out
'Cause y'all were close to me even when we were spread out
I'm recording this message, can't tell if you wanna see my face
You'd try to get through to me
When sometimes I was through with you
All your time was worth it, let me reimburse it right back to you
This message is for my friends
The ones who answered the call from the beginning
I mean this from my heart, I'm positively certain
There's no more reaching you
By now you should have gotten my message
The message, oh those messages
I'd give anything back just to be with you
By now you should have gotten my message
Did it get to you, get through to you
This message is for my family
My friends or who's listening
Any person that can hear me
Any person that I'm missing
There's no more reaching you
By now you should have gotten my message
The message, oh those messages
I'd give anything back just to be with you
By now you should have gotten my message
Did it get to you, get through to you
This message is for my family
My friends or who's listening
Any person that can hear me
Any person that I'm missing
This message is for the people
The people in this city
Any person that ain't listening
Listen up and so you can hear me
I've sent more messages in my lyrics than you've sent in a convo'
I wasn't supposed to provide a beat you could bob to
Everything can change in the second you aren't tryin' to
This is a simple message I've sent with pride, so
This is the explanation I'll summarize, know
This is reality, why don't you look around
Don't change for anyone but yourself, whom you should rely
We were all in my dreams 'til we exited the borderlines
It's 'bout time I've confided, confessed everything, look alive
We all tryna live
I'm not tryna live a lie
I have a way with words
Some rappers don't even try
Mentality settled in
I overcame the odds
I had to man up
Some fail to do the job
I am a renegade
Every day's do or die
I am a prodigy
My name's where that proof resides
I saw déjà vu
These goodbyes seem to multiply
I am a livin' legend
Not exactly what you've expected
Now that you know me, never expect less
I saved this for later, hopin' you've learned my message
You are one of us, and we're livin' in dependence
I just wrote a book half these artists don't even get and
I've looked into different moments in life with my perspective
No bird's eye view but a boy in Armageddon
Tryna get through understandin' that this is life and we're lettin' each millisecond slip from us, I'm leavened
How you think we got in here? There's no way out our sentence
'Til you enter the gates of reality: Hell or Heaven
Just when you think you had it all, watch how it turns the tides
What you have listened to is an example of my life
This is what I did for three years
I gave you a peek of what's inside of me
You may feel uncomfortable
But this is how it has to be
We're the tattoos, the glue
We are obscene
I don't care what you think
Don't have to be proud of me
We are the ink
That's the truth of reality
This is the ending of my album titled Reality
This message is for the people
The people in this city
Any person that ain't listening
Listen up and so you can hear me
I love you
