[Verse]
Empty room, echoes of regret a miserable scream in my head the ones that said there with me til the end were the first ones to turn there back ride away with my enemies didn’t think twice they left me for dead messages stuck on red while I’m still here drowning in the pain my from my ex kidnapping my kids even when I jump through every obstacle she laid out let her die without a chance for me to tell her how much I loved her and cuddle her so she knows the love from her daddy when we’re with god and together again when no one can steal our llove from each other faith I know grandpa Larry and Ritchie are the only ones that can tell you truthfully how much I missed you all the nights stayed up looking for you angry cuz I did nothing to deserve that I guess getting back at peoples knowing there hurt is more important to the devil in the end
Grief cut deep, sharper than a switchblade's bite
Folks dipped, left me drowning in my own fight
But my lil' man stayed, he my only light
Blood on the mirror, my face ain't the same
Eyes like warzones, locked in eternal flame
No hugs, no calls, just whispers of my shame
But his tiny hand pulled me back from the game
[Chorus]
Left alone, but he never let go
Seven years old, heart pure, let it show
World turned its back, he stood front row
My son saw the real me, through the shadow's glow
[Verse 2]
Cigarette burns
Soul iced out, but his warmth made it grow
World cracked my spine, so quick to say they done enough it’s that time I I gotta go turned my mind as my baby rides by my side
But his laugh cut through, there intentions on the low
Whispers of the block, they say I'm done
Buried in my sins, cursed by the shyt from evil people
But lil' man ain't scared, he call me the one
In his eyes, I’m king, didn’t see struggle just the man he knew I’ve become
[Bridge]
Bottle to my lips, demons sang their song he saw it right in front of him by the ones that say they love you more than they have done
He sat there quiet, but his soul and his character was strong
Seven years old, wisdom where it don’t belong
He held my heart, said, "daddy , you ain't wrong."I love you daddy is what saved me and I will be that man he sees I become
