La'Keith Rashad - Sins Of The Father Lyrics

I know you have a lot on your mind
This is a safe space
Go ahead
You can let it out
8 months old, caught in the system
Family secrets the deepest, guess I'm the victim
Stories unclear why they didn't want me
So many years passed, this shit still haunt me
I was 5 years old, saw mama cheatin'
That shit tore me into pieces, my heart was grievin'
I was 6 when I found out about my twin
Pops a hero to us but he a dead beat to him
Separated at 8...my granddad died, I was 9
Had to walk in them schools pretending my life was fine
Nomad life I was 10...we movin' like it's a trend
Parents still in them streets got strangers round us again
Hol' up
Young nigga dealin' with trauma
Didn't know I was unhappy
All a nigga seeing is drama
Southside, guns shot fly like fireworks
Drive-by, bodies drop then it's tire skrrts
Fiends is demons they always scheming
Seeing these scenes, you could only dream it
Blood hittin' licks too nice
Stuntin' too hard, got pinned up
Graveyard next to the schools
Tryna show us where we gon end up
And Grandma in them churches, need them blessings urgent ooh
In white man we should worship, I don broke all these curses ooh
Now I got kids
Married life, tight 9 years
Sleep rare cuz I got fears
Failing them, I cry tears
Seen hell in my rearview
Escaping from it, I shift gears
Survivor's remorse is sure me
Nigga that's why I'm so low key
You was wrong if you thinking you know me
