lirik lagu everett michael - tarpon springs

[verse 1]
my mind’s split in a multitude of directions
the quickest fix is a couple studio sessions
heavenly father, i come to you for protection
cuz you always remind me
ain’t no substitute for perfection
the word carried me even after my mother stopped
from the hate, i was shielded by all the love i got
check the docile demeanor, i got it from my pops
but under the surface
the truth’ll give you a sudden shock
from the bеginning, i hated you if you disrespectеd
if you mocked, ignored, and left the kid neglected
making the choice to do right
was met with mixed reception
“you ain’t my momma, you ain’t my daddy,”
these kids were reckless
my sister said
“if these youngins give you trouble, just call me.”
i went to bed knowing someone would punk me if shawty
stepped into the fray of her
little brother’s meaningless battles
that’s when i knew all of my troubles
i needed to handle
my father stressing that education was all i needed
every assessment and any test that was marked completed
was enough to bring me the adulation i thought receiving
was as normal as breathing
really, it’s not a common treatment
he and my mom, no telling them i was nothing special
even if amongst the gifted i was one of several
i’ve been surrounded by people flooded with dumb potential
the one who settles was meant to watch ’em become successful
not out of envy, but all my people were gonna see
to it that the child who was falling behind wasn’t me
every one of those convos in that little house
made me who i am. my flaws, goals, ambition, doubts
worldviews, opinions and every perspective i know
part of my fabric, dawg. without it i never would grow
even when hurting, as a boy i’m expected to show
nothing, but now i’m grown
all this pain, i’m letting it go
i blame the circumstances, never the folks around me
they did the best they could
so with them i’m rolling proudly
my family told me they would’ve lost all control without me
that nothing could fill the emptiness in their souls without me
this is why you’re the reason i’m not insane through this
you gave me life and a purpose through all the craziness
and while we’ve been through our battles and got em handled
if having em means you’re still in my life
then i ain’t changing sh~t
[voice message]

[verse 2]
only from cousins i’d experience brotherly bonds
but they ain’t live with me, so clearly it wasn’t as strong
had to wait for them to grow, because they were too little
and the older ones were too busy
so i stayed in the middle
that didn’t stop us from having fun
to get on the sticks or hoop
ain’t have to ask them once
every moment together we took advantage of
now i’m looking back and realizing i didn’t have enough
time, to tell em i love em and wish we had it back
if i just want to say “what’s up,” i gotta plan for that
and on top of it all, i’m thinking foolishly
wondering if they even want anything else to do with me
i know i never reach out, like i’m supposed to
i can’t forget to seek out, who i was close to
cuz now they probably thinking i couldn’t give a d~mn
now it’s only by blood, that we’re considered fam
social media’s got me wanting to bridge the gap
liking your status, just wishing that i can give some dap
and as a bonus, louder i can profess
that i’m proud of all your success
without you thinking the sh~t was cap
i never lost any love, just a victim of time
all this regret is just a punishment fit for the crime
even if it was a trivial slip of the mind
that don’t need apologies, i’m still giving you mine
someone passing should not be when we reconnect
should be a party or a cookout when i see you next
i’ll even hop on the grill, if that’s what’s gotta happen
cuz when my father retires, don’t even bother asking
i got his recipes and mastered a few of my own
i only ask that you get back if i’m too in the zone
smoky and tender, you’ll be tempted to chew through the bone
and that’s the only way i’m welcoming you to my home
just a way of thanking you finally
for being my family. ain’t no egos & rivalries
or sitting at the head of a table like i’m a tribal chief
just a bloodline full of people who make this life complete
even though it’s not as lonely as i’m making it
i treasure the memories and everyone i made them with
and while we’ve been through our battles and got em handled
if having them means you’re still in my life
then i ain’t changing sh~t
