What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Sometimes pain runs deeper than blood
2
Sometimes karma comes back on the people you love
3
Sometimes we gotta let go and turn the other way
4
We just fightin' for another day
5
Cause everything has a cause, you may not like the effect
6
A heart full of pain and a life full of regrets
7
Forced to make certain choices that you might not respect
8
In this world full of hate, just a child of neglect
9
He was breathin' in cigarrette smoke, watching cartoons
10
Loud yells comin' from the other room
11
Landlord bangin' on the door askin' where the fuckin' rent at cause it's 30 days overdue
12
Nobody answers it
13
They was smokin' up the house like they ain't know that shit was cancerous
14
But his mom is still tryna quit
15
She ain't got no one to depend on to provide for her kids
16
She's working 2 jobs
17
Barely makin' enough to fill his stomach
18
It's still filled with nothing
19
Hard times, she can feel 'em coming
20
And it's been that while for a while
21
She raisin' a fatherless child, you can see the pain in her smile
22
She got unpaid bills piling on up the counter
23
No matter how close to the edge she got there was something about her
24
And never let her lose hope
25
Even when she hit rock bottom, she feels the noose around her neck
26
It's just a loose rope
27
But it's only getting tighter, suffocating her slowly
28
She's a lover and a fighter, but something just keeps her lonely
29
She got a collect call but she already know who it's from
30
She took a deep breath, answered the phone and begun
31
She said I gotta move on with my life, I told you it's done
32
Plus it's been 2 months since you spoke to your son
33
It's not about me and it's not about you anymore
34
It's not about running the streets and acting a fool anymore
35
You've gone for 7 years, their's nothing you can do anymore
36
Cause I've lost everything and I just can't bear to lose anymore
37
You see, theirs somebody else
38
Not because I'm in love, but cause I needed some help
39
The type of help you can't provide
40
I'm sick of waiting
41
I'm sick of sittin' around knowing you might not make it out alive
42
Sick of not havin' somebody by my side
43
Sick of our kids askin "where's the daddy?"
44
I'm sick of tellin' them these lies
45
I'm just sick of it all
46
And if you ever met parole and have plans for the future, please don't get us involved
47
Don't call
48
Don't write
49
And most of all
50
Leave my child alone
51
And before he could say a word
52
All he heard is a dial tone
53
As his mother put down the phone he heard her saying
54
"God, I really need you right now, please just show me a sign, my heart is bleeding right now"
55
But he was only a kid, so he really didn't really know much
56
Still tryna understand why his mother cried so much
57
Father's Day was the worst
58
Plus they ain't had no money in the bank, so it felt like every holiday was a curse
59
And his birthday just passed
60
He's getting ready for a lonely Christmas
61
They say his dad is gone for business
62
But he knows the difference
63
Starting to forget his father's face and what he looked like
64
No bedtime stories, no good mornings, no good night
65
Just a good luck from the judge, his life would change with a sentence
66
Slam the gavel down, he's found guilty of all the offenses
67
On the other side of the fence, left his child defenseless
68
Now he fends for himself, but he feels so relentless
69
His momma's boyfriend drinks until his demons come out
70
The liquor takes control of his soul, he don't speak with his mouth
71
He speaks with his fist, disagree get beat til your pissed
72
The type of pain that'll make you put a knife deep in your wrist
73
i said
74
he speaks with his fist the type of pain to make you put a knife deep in you wrist
75
didn't have a clue that you got people hurt your afflicting that your affected too it's not just you it's not just you
76
Sometimes the choices you make, they don't only effect you
77
But they also effect the people you love and care about
78
You see, I wish I could say that it's never too late
79
But I would only be lying to you
80
Because time and the people we love are the only 2 things we can never get back in this world
