Burn it all

Somebody rescue me…

I been on my own too long.

You see—I been on go too long…

Washington, then out to Colorado,

Atlanta, Georgia—now I’m in Seattle.

Frequent trips—racking up the miles,

My fam miss me… I know it’s been a while.

I been distant—since I was a child…

Couldn’t tell you why—I just don’t know how.

Always knew that I would end the drought,

But I ain’t know success would stretch me out.

Phone full of texts I still ain’t read,

Rooms full of folks, shit was said.

Momma mad, “what’s gotten in your head?”,

I don’t know- guess I’m like my dad…

Genetics…..D-N-A…..is what it is…

Didn’t wanna end up like this….

I Hated you, since I was a kid…

Won’t make it true-saying that shit…

Told me call-said you on your way…

Never showed-never held weight…

Pretty sure-you said you running late….

Couldn’t even say it to my face…..

Never give yet always wanna take…..

I don’t know exactly what it is, don’t think this is a problem I can fix

Tried too-was taking too long,

So I Balled it up and put it in a song

And it goes like-

“You the reason why I’m still alive”

“You the reason why I’m getting high”

“Got me contemplating suicide”

You ain’t have to do me like that”

“ really had to go and crush my light”

“You the reason why i lost it all”

“You the reason why I got it back”

“You the reason why i never call”

“You the reason why i gotta ball”

“-Just to show you could’ve seen it all”

“Not the reason why im standing tall”

(“……..is the blunt rolled?”-)

Fuck it……burn it all….

Saying shit like I ain’t heard it all…

Dont know why I’m even hurt at all…

Guess I gotta reason to be mad…

Was I really just that bad?

-reason why you couldn’t be a dad?

I had to teach myself to throw a ball….

Even worse the times where I would fall….

Looking back I see it clear now….

The fact that you was never really there….

I know my momma-she done had some problems…

Tried my best-I just couldn’t solve em….

But at least she was there to help resolve em-

I don’t think you really even care…..

Bet you was having fun over there….

I get it though-you was just a kid….

Couldn’t keep us round the shit you did..

You wanly tryna do it big……

Every Monday had a different bitch….

And wonder why you never made it rich….

I’m just saying-I’m just speaking facts-

I’m so glad I was shown how to act….

Never mind…….

I don’t know exactly what it is, don’t think this is a problem I can fix

Tried too-was taking too long,

So I Balled it up and put it in a song

And it goes like-

“You the reason why I’m still alive”

“You the reason why I’m getting high”

“Got me contemplating suicide”

You ain’t have to do me like that”

“ really had to go and crush my light”

“You the reason why i lost it all”

“You the reason why I got it back”

“You the reason why i never call”

“You the reason why i gotta ball”

“-Just to show you could’ve seen it all”

“Not the reason why im standing tall”

(“……..nah, I’m good…..yeah put it out…..nah…..I’m cool….)
