SHORT (feat. MAVIS SWAN POOLE) [TRANDLE RMX]

Like when lightning strikes upon the city

See the thunder from the untamed country peeling

Back the layers of my own mind, warped and pretty

Yeah, the field is empty, used to feed aplenty

Bleed and breed for pennies, every need a penny

Just to keep alive yo momma dream of happy endings

But they masked and pending, after that they leave me

Breathing in apprehension and comin up winded

Short

Mind what your momma said

(but momma we comin up short)

Don't deny what your daddy did

and daddy kept comin up short

Don't play yo'self to get ahead

even though we keep comin up short

You betta mind what you promised them

Yeah we keep comin up, yeah we keep comin up

Comin up from neva 'nuff addin plus subtractin

Fast chances, long shots, daddy playin house again

Everybody slow yo roll, play your role we actin

Dance for the social worker, po country asses

The struggle never buckle we can't hustle movin backwards

Daddy want a caddy momma just want him back and

Somethin new to hold to the plain and simple fact is

Blackness is beautiful, musical, and magical just

Mind what your momma said

(but momma we comin up short)

Don't deny what your daddy did

and daddy kept comin up short

Don't play yo'self to get ahead

even though we keep comin up short

You betta mind what you promised them

Yeah we keep comin up, yeah we keep comin up

Yeah we keep coming up yeah we keep comin up
