Be Right Back

Verse 1

I remember late hungry nights…long weekends you stole the cable box so we couldn’t watch the Mike Tyson fights… put ya hands on my mom and pop pop banged 16 shots while you ran through the light. “That’s a fact” It was dangerous love I don’t know why Ummi kept taking you back. I was only five when you walked out the door chasing crack, it was Christmas Eve the tree was empty you ain’t leave us jack, just a note on the tree signed Paul, I’ll be right back, I’ll be right, but you never came, that shit turned my brothers out went straight to slangin crack.

Chorus

I’ll be right back, yeah, that’s what he said, Promises like shadows, left me in the dread. If I was bleeding out you would have left me for dead. It ain’t easy Growing up alone in this world being black, Now I keep tellin bitches the same lie my pop said, I’ll be right back. Knowing I won’t like it’s a Trapp. Spittin these bars feel like a ghost in the night, trauma hauntin every track, Got me chasin’ relationships, but they fade, that’s a fact. My dad words echo, but the truth I never can unpack.

Verse 2

Late nights with her, first couple days was a thrill, sky high edibles got me feeling lit for real. But when da morning came I was like “I’ll be right back” just like my pop use to say. no promises fuck around be done wit her like it’s my last day. Never been soul less, but ever since my pop left, never had emotionless, fucked up man. Heart racing fast, Built a wall around me, cant trust not even my own plan. 3 straight nights She gave me her all, but I pulled away, Fearing deeper feelings would lead me astray. Ghosted her softly, like a shadow in the light, Left her wondering, lost by the 4th night. Now I replay those moments, regret’s tooken, I remember that day, mom home cooking, dad like son let’s play hide and seek knowing dam well he ain’t never come looking!

Chorus

I’ll be right back, yeah, that’s what he said, Promises like shadows, left me in the dread. If I was bleeding out you would have left me for dead. It ain’t easy Growing up alone in this world being black, Now I keep tellin chicks the same lie my pop said, I’ll be right back. Knowing I won’t like it’s a Trapp. Spittin these bars feel like a ghost in the night, trauma hauntin every track, Got me chasin’ relationships, but they fade, that’s a fact. My dad words echo, but the truth I never can unpack.

Verse 3

Never trust a soul when they say I’ll be right back Words like that, man, they fade to black. Promises made, but they vanish shit, In the hood when you say I'll be right back, it's with a clock or switch that would empty ya heart, love’s a risk better play it smart. Now I keep it tight, no room for a dead beat or fake, Trust is a luxury real niggas can’t take that break. Every lie in my past, every tear that I bled, Turned me cold as ice heart in Alaska under a sled. Chasing shadows, fighting demons since my childhood home,

“I’ll be right back” just some Macaulay Culkin shit ….left him
