about

Man, this is a tough love track. I have some deep-rooted feelings, and I believe their is a message in this story for the youth. Ill leave that to you to make the connections.

lyrics

It aint no news you were never there for me. It aint no news you were never there for three. It aint no news, you were never there for her so how could you ever be there for me. x2

There was a twelve year gap plus the physical on the map lying awake I try to make a track. A record, RECORD, I wish someone would have. I don't know which way to direct my anger this shit makes me mad. Grandparents fuckin with the spirit in the bag. No protection for a daughter yo this shit makes me sad. A life in me that wasn't mine, Im swallowed by the grief I met him twice but wonder why I never went for his teeth. Or check it, that blood that runs through me, half of which is his, I should take something from him like one of his beautiful kids, maybe he would see the sister I never got to. Or the fist like ma dukes was forced to. Put your own barrel in your mouth and scream I fuckin hate you. Love envy and hate for a brother. All I see and hear is you in him and love from a mother, so I struggle huh, Its a mother fucker.

It aint no news you were never there for me. It aint no news you were never there for three. It aint no news, you were never there for her so how could you be there for me
I gotta breath let me feel the needle press the ink into the healing sleeve. You were never there for her, so how could you be there for me. You showed up but all I wanted was you to leave.

The Stories Ive heard were enough to make ears bleed. Imagine eating food through a mouth that barely had teeth. My imagination runs wild. To the point of no return. Should I tie him to a tree and watch this mother fucker burn. My inability to sleep at night opening my eyes. I have not learned, will this be me in future life a leaf unturned. A life of foreshadowing I have earned, if so don't let me do it once. My higher power surly have its turn. Judgement day soon shall come, I will have to face penance for all of the webs of hurt Ive spun. Even though now, I have a wonderful father I can't help but feel at some level you broke me down, no, I am not your daughter. Now I lay me down to sleep, I'm praying for this man, a fool whose in deep. I can not now shall I evermore weep in this day an age when a man would have been considered a fuckin creep.

It aint no news you were never there for me. It aint no news you were never there for three. It aint no news, you were never there for her so how could you be there for me
I gotta breath let me feel the needle press the ink into the healing sleeve. You were never there for her, so how could you be there for me. You showed up but all I wanted was you to leave.

Now onto the outré, through it I must grow. Don't repeat that history Im chanting from the third row. Always in a session, always trying to learn a lesson. As well as spread knowledge this is something through you I could never learn to keep homage. This is your audit. You should have been the first to admit that you was at fault kid. Take that to your hearse and another six feet under better hope I don't haunt your ass in an eternal slumber. It aint no news. You were never there for me. It aint no news, you were never there for three. It aint no news, won't be no news. Mafucka I won't let it see no news. It aint no news no no no no no no.

It aint no news you were never there for me. It aint no news you were never there for three. It aint no news, you were never there for her so how could you be there for me
I gotta breath let me feel the needle press the ink into the healing sleeve. You were never there for her, so how could you be there for me. You showed up but all I wanted was you to leave.
