Lyrics
All my life I felt abandoned
Like I didn't belong anywhere
I didn't have a guardian
To teach me like a coach
Just had trial and error
No comprehension of growth
Wish my dad had a father figure
So he could show me all the ropes And show me how to cope
Instead of loath in my sorrows Help me live up to today
Cause there might not be tomorrow
I got so much anger with him
But ain't even on point no more Cause it's too late to speak up
He ain't even on point no more
My father bed ridden
He cannot use his words
Only thing he do now is observe
And get around the clock care from his nurse,
His nurse is my granny
Thats her lil baby
Wish she showed me the same love she showed him
But all that changed once I became a lady, affection stopped but that money still came in,
But I know she been through a lot cause my grandpa caused a lot of pain (mmmm ahhhh )
See my grandpa is a bully he don't
show no feelings
His only love is his ego and it's bigger than him
He's 6'6 so that says a lot
He barely lets you talk but he says a lot ( ahhh)
I remember when I talked back
as a kid, he pulled my hair it never been the same since
How you supposed to protect
me when you steady neglecting, You treat my grandma like dirt Now guess who's actions
I'm reflecting
Yours
I learned a lot from you, like whenever I feel attacked
I walk away like you, I raise my voice like you
Every time y'all fought she was always the bigger person
You could go days without talking
Who taught you to be a husband
But I know that answer nobody Cause my dad is the same way Which made me the same way That's why I'm now recuperating from that life cycle
But it's my turn and I'm bout to change it
All my life I struggled with my identity
I just needed love but I was raised in hostility
My girl expects me to change my life in a wink
But she don't understand
That toxic mentality was already embedded in me
Sometimes I don't even wanna change for real
Cause I don't feel it internally,
I wanna get all this anger up outta me
That was passed down that came before me cause
It was life cycled life cycled yeah
life cycled, life cycled yea, yeah
You know I needed to get that off My chest
Because, it's not like I can confront them with how I feel
They just gonna discredit my experience, and get defensive
So, this is me breaking that trauma
chain, no more life cycles
