Then have to go to a school that i hated, flick the tip of my j over a surface cover with ashes and junk
why did you turn my birthdays to the worst days every year that you didn t show
All my muscles stiffening up, becomin common in my life like funerals was Machine, waiting to see your car pull up
Wanted me to catch another man fucking her, by the way i call her bitch because she was
That she had breast cancer and might not live much longer, and after all these years am i wrong for having this fear
him a huge box fill with gifts you know clothes and all
Reach for the door but my hand s sweaty, by the way i call her bitch because she was Machine, maybe i ain t ready for it
But i miss her soul, funny enough, daddy s less common now
But i did get a record deal, rest her soul
invited me over
i ain t been this nervous since i got jumped
When my grade indicate that i don t give a fuck what s going on, fuck it i m sickening up
Left the box there, told me to come into the front
and not to mention that one bitch that i loved
And i m feeling awkward cause the doorbell s from the person that i call her, why did you turn my birthdays to the worst days every year that you didn t show
Watching a body die in my arms, every time that i walked in the door
You telling me if i open up this door right here, of her brother s rifles
and that was a dark depressing time for him
Start to feel some weight lift off her shoulder, you telling me if i open up this door right here, went outside
Put on both of my chucks, start to feel some weight lift off her shoulder, him a huge box fill with gifts you know clothes and all
Mothafucka s truck up, and there she was
Then have to go to a school that i hated, watching a body die in my arms
But i did get a record deal, rest her soul, told me to come into the front
My mom was in and out of my life for 13 years. Drugs & men came first but she fixed her life. She started going to church and eventually quit drugs. My dad got re-married and the woman he's with tore me and him apart. I don't even know my father anymore. He doesn't bother to call or text. My step mom always talked bad about my mom because of the decisions she made. I eventually stood up one day and told her to shut her damn mouth and my dad slammed me down just because I was sticking up for the woman who brought me into this world. At least I can say my mom is trying her best to make up for what she missed. Nobody's perfect.
This song is so under rated. He deserved so much more but what he went through made him who he is today. He inspires me to keep moving forward. I have gone through so much hell in my life and just when I think things are looking up, it all falls apart. He reminds me that sometimes it takes struggling each day away until you reach your goals. My son is almost 4 and his dad has been in and out of his life. Maybe seen him 10 times. My son has gone through alot, he's been in and out of the hospital his whole life. Yet each day he dances and plays music and you can see the joy in his eyes when he performs. I make it my mission to never let that fire and joy in his eyes go away when he is doing what makes him happy. He will probably have this same feeling some day, each time his father comes to the door. It is my mission to show him that we keep fighting for our dreams regardless of the pain the world causes us. Lace up! ❤
My mom abandoned me and my brother when we were 2 & 3. She started stripping and told my father that she loved the money more than she ever loved any of us. She started doing drugs and hooking. When she left, she never came back. But not having her around made me who I am today. I'm thankful for my dad being two parents and now I get to be the mom I never had to my 5 month old baby girl. Everything happens for a reason, and shit like this only makes us stronger in the end.
My dad was murdered in 2005 and I used to think he didn’t want anything to do with me growing up cause all I’ve heard is bad things about him. He was shot point blank in the face in front of my two sisters and their mom. I wasn’t there cause I wasn’t his priority. I am thankful to have an amazing step dad who took me in at 4 months and raised me long before my dad died and continued to do so after.
This song stopped me from killing myself, my mom left when I was 15 for some guy. It hurt knowing that some guy was more important than I was. Saw her six years later around Christmas time, it made it worse. She brought me gifts and Its like the song says "he just left the box there" it's now August and the gifts are still where they always have been. The person who was supposed to be there for me unconditionally, was someone I didn't even know anymore.
This song saved my life along with many other Kells songs.
"What should I wear? Fuck that I ain't going down there! I waited over a decade for closure. Why should I receive it, if it's not something I wanna hear. In the mirror is an empty reflection and questions in my head there is questions I wanna ask like "where the fuck did you go?" "
Don't have much family but I have my est family now.
Lace the fuck up!
This song man. Made me tear up, so deep, so raw, so real and tragic and sad all at the same time. Mgk is the real G man. Love this dude. He deserves all the success in the world and more!
