[Intro]
Sometimes pain runs deeper than blood
Sometimes karma comes back on the people you love
Sometimes we gotta let go and turn the other way
We just fightin' for another day
Cause everything has a cause, you may not like the effect
A heart full of pain and a life full of regrets
Forced to make certain choices that you might not respect
In this world full of hate, just a child of neglect
You may not like the effect, life full of regrets
You might not respect, a child of neglect
[Verse 1]
He was breathin' in cigarrette smoke, watching cartoons
Loud yells comin' from the other room
Landlord bangin' on the door askin' where the fuckin' rent at cause it's 30 days overdue
Nobody answers it
They was smokin' up the house like they ain't know that shit was cancerous
But his mom is still tryna quit
She ain't got no one to depend on to provide for her kids
She's working 2 jobs
Barely makin' enough to fill his stomach
It's still filled with nothing
Hard times, she can feel 'em coming
And it's been that while for a while
She raisin' a fatherless child, you can see the pain in her smile
She got unpaid bills piling on up the counter
No matter how close to the edge she got something about her
And never let her lose hope
Even when she hit rock bottom, she feels the noose around her neck
It's just a loose rope
But it's only getting tighter, suffocating her slowly
She's a lover and a fighter, but something just keeps her lonely
She got a collect call but she already know who it's from
She took a deep breath, answered the phone and begun
She said I gotta move on with my life, I told you it's done
Plus it's been 2 months since you spoke to your son
It's not about me and it's not about you anymore
It's not about running the streets and acting a fool anymore
You've been gone for 7 years, their's nothing you can do anymore
Cause I've lost everything and I just can't bear to lose anymore
You see, theirs somebody else
Not because I'm in love, but cause I needed some help
The type of help you can't provide
I'm sick of waiting
I'm sick of sittin' around knowing you might not make it out alive
Sick of not havin' somebody by my side
Sick of our kids askin "where's our daddy?"
I'm sick of tellin' them these lies
I'm just sick of it all
And if you ever met parole and have plans for the future, please don't get us involved
Don't call, don't write
And most of all, leave my child alone
And before he could say a word
All he heard is a dial tone
Sometimes pain runs deeper than blood
Sometimes karma comes back on the people you love
Sometimes we gotta let go and turn the other way
We just fightin' for another day
Cause everything has a cause, you may not like the effect
A heart full of pain and a life full of regrets
Forced to make certain choices that you might not respect
In this world full of hate, just a child of neglect
You may not like the effect, life full of regrets
You might not respect, a child of neglect
