Emotive Lyrics by Jovan

Realize EP

2012

HOOK (x2)
Everything change when you pick up the reigns/
And now you feel ashamed from saying those things/
You never know where your words are about to go/
They could be messing with my head, going out of control/

VERSE ONE
So, father father, it has been in honor/
You know it’s all good.... (SIKE) never mind it was never no honor/
It makes me sad for having a man I should have had/
You wasn’t even there and expect me to call you dad/
But I couldn’t, different lingo/
It hurts inside, but I still smile, with my head high/
Few little cries, but I survived, and I have tried/
To do something with my life/
Sick of tired twiddling my thumbs you gotta recognize... And you're surprised!?/
Looking at me on the inside, stuck and confined/
Sitting here wondering, “WHY GOD WHY”/
From the things you put us through, and your other daughter hating you/
You was my superman, then I started finding out the truth/
Our family’s lost without you, it really hurt us all/
Even though she said some things, it really hurt my mom/
But it’s over now, you’re out soon, it really made me see/
If you was really here, I would never become me/
So thank you.

[HOOK (x2)]

VERSE TWO
Hold on, silence, everybody stop/
You’re not supposed to nod your head until the beat drops/
There it goes, I recall my momma feeding me when I was three/
When we moved back to live with our family/
Since I’ve known, you’ve always made dad seem small/
You always gave yourself the credit but you couldn’t have it all/
Understand, you cannot play the victim when you say that ish/
But there’s two sides to the story, don’t say what’s irrelevant/
I mean it’s hard, what should I say, who should I blame/
Maybe it’s God sent lessons to us, it ain’t a shame/
I mean, we didn’t have alot, but we did have enough/
We should those tears, been through much, that all made us tough/
I’m sick of the pettiness, and I want it to be better/
Forever, we’ll forget about it like it’s whatever/
Your ways showed me the way to be more unified/
If we talked a little more, I wouldn’t be writing these rhymes/

[HOOK (x2)]

VERSE THREE
It’s very hard growing up and wondering/
Why you’re too shy to talk to someone to make a friend/
You’re like, “Why am I the way that I am?”/
You blame yourself, and need some help, and saying that you can’t/
There’s nothing wrong with who you are/
Being you sets you apart/
And you would only find that in your heart/
Cuz life’s not guaranteed, so you better start embracing/
Living someone else’s life is time that could be wasted/
So be smart, and don’t give into the pressure/
Because you gotta make moves for what only works for you/
And friends are not forever, but there’s some who stays true/
Who wants the best for you, who’ll never turn on you/
I just wanna be accepted in this world/
Cuz I am only human, and like a woman’s worth/
And everyday, I become a little stronger/
And destined to be bigger, and have a little honor/
