[00:19.356]Uh I keep my ear to the door holding my brother close
[00:22.488]He knows I love him most
[00:23.797]My heart beating I can feel it from his f**king pulse
[00:26.205]Seeing my mother rose froze love of something slows
[00:28.700]Woes decompose muddy clothes and a runny nose
[00:31.190]Flows we're shivering she mistakes it for giggling
[00:33.404]Mother quivering hopping out the seat that she's sitting in
[00:36.236]Living in the last few weeks keeping it diligent
[00:38.650]It's calm under my arm I be popping the ritalin
[00:41.228]To keep it smooth
[00:42.275]Self medicating to keep me loose
[00:44.85]I needed proof needed see it to believe it's true
[00:46.504]I needed you but you're the one that I was grieving to
[00:48.840]And now you're leaving
[00:49.434]Deep in the evening that we were sleeping through
[00:51.679]So what are we to do but move with the setting sun
[00:54.253]Uh you know I love you like a second mum
[00:56.966]Love you for better from now 'til whenever
[00:58.912]Want the family together I promise you 'imma get it done
[01:01.940]Trust 'cos all I wanted was a f**king man
[01:04.535]To tell the f**king truth hold my f**king hand
[01:07.293]Uh to guide me through the darkness when the others ran
[01:09.623]Instead he was sliding and slipping I didn't understand
[01:12.159]I didn't understand stand didn't understand
[01:14.567]Uh now every time that motherf**ker ran
[01:17.290]I didn't understand stand didn't understand
[01:21.317]Uh 'cos every afternoon after school
[01:23.755]Or at 530if it was after basketball
[01:26.384]They'd be waiting up at the gate with an article
[01:28.478]They picked up on the way down
[01:29.892]And read it to me the second we were leaving the playground
[01:32.397]That grey sound never stop until we're forced to stop
[01:34.720]Corner shop buying fruit and veg nah of course we're not
[01:37.818]Just a couple steady snacks for the journey heading back
[01:40.574]Full of the sugar so our teeth yes of course they rot
[01:42.971]Sit for hours sun thunderstorm or showers
[01:45.42]In that same living room watching the bloom turn to flowers
[01:47.705]The night was ours
[01:48.912]Superpowers and all
[01:50.203]We were zapping out the window and watching the cowards fall
[01:52.552]Had it all
[01:53.470]Powerful making me tower tall
[01:55.224]Bountiful from something so small
[01:58.249]So I'd rather take the fall and brawl
[02:00.165]Before I drowned in what I found so cruel
[02:12.376]Sitting and sipping whiskey like my grandad did
[02:15.188]Trying to like the life that my grandad lived
[02:17.322]'Cos when the black man slipped into the darkness
[02:19.458]And the black man dipped
[02:20.534]It didn't matter had that love I left my grandad with
[02:23.86]Sip brandy like my grandma do
[02:25.348]Trying to like the life that my nan told true
[02:27.589]'Cos if I run from you she'd hold my hands
[02:29.442]Until my hands turn blue
[02:30.656]So I pursue the new thinking 'bout the man they grew because
[02:33.913]Trust 'cos all I wanted was a f**king man
[02:36.476]To tell the f**king truth hold my f**king hand
[02:39.14]Uh to guide me through the darkness when the others ran
[02:41.146]Instead he was sliding and slipping I didn't understand
[02:43.962]I didn't understand stand didn't understand
[02:46.773]Uh now every time that motherf**ker ran
