A Mother’s Cry Lyrics by Alex Devon

Once I Figure It Out

2017

[Verse One: Young L3x]
Since the morning I thought about ya
Good and bad thoughts passing through my head
Then I realized you wasn't in your bed
But instead you was out partying
When you should be home
And I was lobbying; you not to go and leave us alone
Is clubbing really fun with the violence that's around?
You say it’s another town but your still on the ground
And anything can happen, you should be cautious
Knew that my talking was getting ignored
But please come home if you start getting bored
And don’t drink and drive in the Honda Accord
I swear most nights I don’t get this nervous
But tonight I feel like the devil might be working
So I pray to God as I closed my eyes
Promised him many lies in exchange for a piece of mind
I closed my eyes & I promised lies
In exchange for a piece of mind
[Hook: Tierra Wilson]
Can’t forget the day you closed your eyes (eyes)
I was mad at God I had to say goodbye
Cus I wanted some more time with you
If you knew these tears I cry show more than pain
And since you left my whole life hasn't been the same
[Verse Two: Young L3x]
Woke up to ten missed calls and twenty texts
My door bell rang it was UPS
I'm so glad they left. I was still undressed
My heart dropped when I got my daughter call she said
There was a shooting at the club Michael was there
Its not clear if he got shot but something feels weird
I call his phone but it most be on silent
But I’m scared cus all of this violence
And last week I had a dream of him dying
I told her stop crying, not assume to soon
I turn on the news, with fear hoping I won't hear
My sons name or description that matches
I’m fighting the sadness
Trynna stay positive expecting the worse
I picture his casket laying in dirt
It hurts, thinking that he can be leaving this earth
It hurts, thinking that I can be losing my boy
It hurts, knowing know that my fam is destroyed
It hurts
[Hook: Tierra Wilson]
Can’t forget the day you closed your eyes (eyes)
I was mad at God I had to say goodbye
Cus I wanted some more time with you
If you knew these tears I cry show more than pain
And since you left my whole life hasn't been the same
