Watch: New Singing Lesson Videos Can Make Anyone A Great Singer
I've had this thought, my whole life, that you'd come find me, check how I've been But that's not the case, I get it though Cause I was brought into the world with a pre-order ticket, my parents never would have paid it So they rerouted me to another loving family in Connecticut, but I felt a bit betrayed So I wrote this little note to my mama saying, hope I'm missed And if I boast, will she think of responding And if I go to her home, will she know her kin Or will, I have to explain who the f*ck I is I've had a chip on my shoulder since I found out I was ordered And cornered to be a morbid little boy with disorders And have a quarter of these feelings that these other kids had Cause I was put into a box shipping label from my own dad I was sent on my way to make it big in America And I bet the biggest mirror's couldn't hide your embarrassment Of giving your own kid away, so someone could parent him But who gave you the right to try to rewrite my narrative But if you could teach me anything, I guess a good lesson would be to stick by your family Yo, unless it's inconvenient then you can give your own kid away And you will never meet him, or see him leaving to grow into a man that you would treat with Much respect, but dad I must confess That the part of me that wanted to meet you has been dead Stopped playing pretend with the shadows over my head When I was still holding on to the thought that you would send A letter or a package saying how sorry you were And list the cause that you and mom had to send me to learn In other parts of the world with different languages that didn't fit What I had heard when I was born in your arms mama The mere drama appearing as weird I'ma Be a person to follow and hoping that you comment on the Karma that I sent to put a chink in your armor Too strong now that I've become more than your problem Now I know you gave me chances in a family that cares But it's hard to shake the feeling that I'm never really there I wonder where I got my traits from my devilish looks And do you struggle like I did trying to read all these books Will I look good when I'm 80 old and cranky maybe Will I make it to the age and dig the grave of my bloodline Cause I'm done trying to live up to a legacy when I can make mine You only taught me one thing that I was once a mistake But I have spent my life trying to get that thought to erase But in case I can't, I'ma do whatever it takes To be a better parent than you could've dreamed you would make You showed abandonment in a new home inside of my brain That's why whenever I feel love I start to push it away It's self-sabotage inner battle lost Diminished at great cost, the sinner's cross is frozen Till I thaw it out and run with it On the track where I summon it like a demon Releasing into my thoughts, making fun of em Have my stomach full of sin, throw it up, eat it up again Must've thought it was love by the way it felt But it wasn't, it was misconception Mom, you coined deception So which way should I flip for you, Miss direction Now I'm holding onto something I know I should throw away But I can't cause it would be over half of my brain It was a missed opportunity for you Gotta list off the reasons that I grew I was picked off the bone too hard to chew But through it I got tougher, leading me to pursue A life with what I've gained what I've earned and what's new And I gotta say that it's all cause of you So I say thank you but you're not in my graces I was just a little child, no opinion to say yet I was benevolent up to eleven And I was more fed up with pent up resentment Told to repent and the devil would let go But since then it was me in a choke hold Poke holes in the ozone don't close those Now I need to find those stairs where they won't go Never been an elevator, elevating, betterment the pen to me is parent Only thing I'll inherit is a cap If you get that, if I don't lose it Tracking it back like a person usually would do If they lose something they love But I guess that's not like you How stupid do you have to be Now I know you gave me chances And a family that cares But it's hard to shake the feeling That I'm never really there I wonder where I got my traits from, my devilish looks And do you struggle like I did Trying to read all these books Will I look good when I'm 80 Old and cranky maybe Will I make it to the age And dig the grave of my bloodline Cause I'm done trying to live up to a legacy When I can make mine And to the family that saved me Admittedly may seem like it would've been Too easy to raise me as a baby But I know who I was and I wasn't easy to trust But all the love that was given to me Was more than enough So if you feel like I was ever getting distant It wasn't me not listening It was me feeling that I was insufficient But over everything you gave me Was support But even more I knew I was yours So I say thank you You're all in my graces I was just a little child When you came and embraced me So I'ma make a promise If I make it in all this You will all be there And we'll show you love that's upon us
