lyrics

Ben:

Your soul darker than poe’s poetry
Openly so morosely
partook in forlorn sorcery
Darker, than finding potency
Hidden inside of a movie scene
Or a rosary, woefully toeing
Through your inner hopes and dreams
He, who was not meant to be
She, she danced with broken knees
Probity, inside her soulfully
Vocally, open mic event…
That last clap, like
The joker wanted more than he
Joked about… He ain’t havin it…
The joker wanted more than he Joked about…
He ain’t havin it…

it’s too disastrous
Rhyming with the henny
Too calamitous
Rhymin’ like it’s all friendly, till the rapture, pastor take
Another sip… Cause we all tumblin, rumblin
Stumblin, fallin down the hill
I spilled my drink and Imma need to pay the bill about now…

You laughin cuz it’s funny seeing me stumble?? Man, we all
bundled in our small worlds, cozy blankets, small turtley shells,
Tertelly sheltered from any of this helter skelter type stuff
There’s so much pain and we need help if we gon make it through tough…

You laugh like you ain’t all about it…
Your stomach’s grumbling, eyes hungry, and words fumbling, funny
Cause you thought you’d be the same without him, funny how that happens… You thought you’d rock those greens without him… Funny, how that happens ehh…

But this shit happens…………..
But this shit happens……….
But this shit happens......

Noble:

Why my dad had to beat?
Why we had to leave?
Why couldn't we be like every family on the street
Every family was
about to get a PS3
And I was trynna act real strong
But you could see through me
Well I was bumblin and strugglin
And always cussin
Talk to God
And we'd always just end up fussin
I'm not gon lie
Ya I started to feel like nothin
But it's not his fault that
I didn't feel like I'm somethin
And I do not want to seem
Like I'm disrespecting my father
But I lowkey really started
To have disdain for my father
That lame nigga used to
Beat on my moms
And beat on my brothers
And beat on me
Then beat on his heart
Then apologize and say
"My freakin mind is marred
I'll buy you a car
I didn't know I'd gone that far"
Little did I know
Of all these episodes
And how frequently they aired
Of where his temper explodes
And I'd plead "mommy, mommy
Let's not leave him tho
I know he a joke
But at least he trynna raise me tho" I came from him
Although I wish I didn't
And now I'm scared I'll get
Some of his characteristics
I know this ish happens
But I won't let this happen
I'll be a black dad providing
Without rappin or trappin
