Tears for Pops
The longer I dwell on all this pain the more that I jot
The longer I go against the grain with all that I got
It's like my patience just be dwindling
Snap in 60 seconds got the power of a minute man
I know God got a bigger plan
I guess I just ain't seen it yet
Hoping that He show me fore emotions hit a ceiling that
Cannot be recovered by a couple bars my pen had scratched
Tell me what's the difference 'tween stony hearts and empty
When a nigga tryna make it seeing death around the city
Feeling like I just got shot at by the opps, the bullets missed me
But now I got a void I share with niggas who den been round
The pain that make a nigga hit the bank and holla "get down"
Now I'm seeing why my nigga B can't put the pills down
Now I'm seeing why my nigga G can't put the drink down
Now I'm seeing why they look at me with such a stale face whenever I would try to tell them niggas they should quit now
Luckily a nigga is blessed, with the art to confess, that I ain't perfect through my rhymes but I stress
I miss my father and these words don't equal missing him less
Although my peace comes in the form of writing bodies of text
Need more than presidents to represent me
And if this gift has come from God then I'm just sending back what Heaven sent me
But with this void that hasn't been here long,
Unfortunately I'm feeling like I'm nothing more than just a dead man walking, I'm singing
Tell me would you wait on me
I said tell me would you wait on me
I said tell me would you wait on me
I said tell me would you wait on me
I said tell me would you wait on me
I said tell me would you wait on me
I said tell me would you wait on me
Tell me would you wait on me
Tears for PawPaw
Was flowing when your son went away, but now they all gone
My well feeling empty but hey, it ain't been that long
Since tears have filled my eyes, but it's wise that I put them in these lines to make a damn song look
I wrote a verse for you when you turned 80
Showing appreciation for the man who made the man that made me
And then I moved to AZ, and cooled a heated mind state
Leaving where I'm from to blaze a trail like I was prime Dame
They'll be screaming my name, I'm thankful for your last
Guess your legacy was meant for me to take the torch and dash
Is it pleasant seeing Heaven, leaving Earth back in the past?
May I ask now?
Did you see the clouds and wanna get down
I bet you didn't
My pops had told me when you see the gates,
To get a chance to make shit straight on Earth you prolly won't be with it
And I remember that the days I need to reattach
When I'm feeling crazy and my conscience sayin G relax
Life can be a pain when you just tryna stay sane
I thank the Lord for my notes, I know this shit ain't a game
It's saving me from pandemonium that I'd be to blame
It ain't a thing to crack it open bruh to spill from the brain
Need more than presidents to represent me
And if this gift has come from God then I'm just sending back what Heaven sent me
But with this void that hasn't been here long,
Unfortunately I'm feeling like I'm nothing more than just a dead man walking, I'm singing
Tell me would you wait on me
I said tell me would you wait on me
I said tell me would you wait on me
I said tell me would you wait on me
I said tell me would you wait on me
I said tell me would you wait on me
I said tell me would you wait on me
Tell me would you wait on me
