lirik lagu brenton reese - abandoned.
[brenton reese]
intro:
i think i, i think i finally found a way to express this
this isn’t just for me, this is for you
not just for people who have had their dad abandon them, but for people with family problems in general
it’s me
[brenton reese]
chorus:
i need you here
in a sp-ce where you were
and stay right there
and be a good father
i’m truly alone
and your reasons weren’t clear
so, just go and live your life
i’ll stay right here
[brenton reese]
verse 1:
man, imma bout to go way back
to the days of the vcr playback
to the days when i didn’t even know that
to the days when i was so bad
i was still a baby so i didn’t understand
that at that moment, my dad wasn’t a man
and he was ditching his fam, and leaving his kids
for a chance of fame, a chance to be rich
he created life just to leave it, but i guess he didn’t comprehend that we could feel it
that we felt the hurt, and had to struggle
because of his choice and staying in his bubble
he never made it, but he doesn’t regret it
cause when it’s my birthday he never says sh-t
i don’t really mind but deep down i do, how can i rep the same last name as him too?
how can i learn how to be a man, a true one, that knows what he has
and know who he has, and that’s the point
because the day he left, he lost his voice and everything he had
i’m not really sad, it was his selfish choice
but i learned from your mistake, and keep my voice
and praise my mom and the work she did, something that you never really would admit
and when i’m really sad, i’m never truly down
because another man stepped up and took your crown
and i don’t care how you are now
imma do me and honor my family and everything they do, not you
but i hope one day you reach out, i will answer
and maybe forgiveness will begin to enter
[chorus]

verse 2:
maybe i played myself on the last verse i dealt
but i needed you people to know how i really felt
and speaking of friends, i realize what they meant
but the jokes they be saying don’t have my consent
i get it my dad left but don’t use it to roast
because it’s a part of my life that i get sad from the most
and speaking of jokes, i always found it ironic
the ones who cracking dad jokes don’t even have family problems
and yet they still try to solve em
always saying jokes like you trying to be involved
and i get it friends are here to support and never dissolve
but when yall say these jokes they get my mind going off
and speaking of off, that’s where my dad ran right?
these are the jokes these people say in spite
act like you try to understand my life
i don’t get it man it’s not right
so imma just tell y’all what i’m really like
[brenton reese]
ending chorus:
i’m hurt (i’m better than this)
i’m hurt (i’m better than him)
i care much more than people swore
i’m hurt
[brenton reese]
outro:
we are more than what we make
we are better than the people before us
we should be better than our parents
we should rise up and take a stand
we can do this, i believe
it’s me
