Long Face Lyrics by Malaki

2024

[Intro]
Why the long face?
Nah, don't, don't pity me
Just learn from my mistakes
Yeah, that's it
Yeah, check

[Verse 1]
Man, I'm pissed off
Splitting decisions and listing them as forgiveness
Is the reason why I'm gripping on these twist-offs
First off, I am more than one
Forged from the daughters that have had fought for sons
And nick-nacking, train hopping and a gorgeous gun
Yeah, that stays hidden, most of 'em just ignore the love
That they're given, no kiddin', I was bored of 'em
Till I found the sword to the page, hit the Lord above
I tried ignoring the pain like a thorn in thumbs
Yeah, so what's the fun? And where's the drugs?
And what's the craic if the craic ain't enough?
I need a stamp, then I'm up
But I've been feeling down
'Cause all I ever needed was my mama and the sound
Really felt like I had neither
Now I'm stuck another dreamer
I was looking for a Mona but she's smiling at Lisa
Just igniting a feeling I only like in the evening
For now, it's a Sprite and the night's ever fleeting
Man, I miss a life that I hardly ever see
And yeah, yeah, so tell me

[Chorus]
Why the long face?
And why the long days?
See, I'm caught inside this place
Turning mirrors till I fade

[Interlude]
Come on, come on, come on
Pick up, pick up, pick up, pick up, pick up
Answer the fuckin' phone, man, come on

[Verse 2]
So what's a friend if they never answer?
I try to lend just a little bit of my past life
So you can learn from my wrongs just until you see right
I've been looking in the tunnel, but I never see light
I read, I write, then I re-write these lines
I wait aside just so I can catch it when the ink dries
Just a flicker of the flame, caught it singing in the moonlight
Light, light, light
I could never think of their names, so called them just a fool's night
F7 to a queen's knight
But I never checked mates
Man, my best days were sweat-stained, stages turning pages in my life
Dear God, I need a reckoning, but can you sort me out tonight?
Yeah, can you sort me out tonight?
Yeah, 'cause I ain't feeling alright
No, no, no

[Verse 3]
I spilled the tea on my whites just so I can leave the site
I cut lines on the kites just to keep the twine
I cursed minds with defiance, what a hopeless crime
Fine, I get it, I gotta get outta my mind
Godson's blasphemy ironically timed
See, the best in me is bad to see, I'd rather be crying
'Cause I still feel my past disease shadow the child
Sometimes I sit and ponder if it's better if I

[Chorus]
So why the long face?
Young in an older man
Boy made of matchsticks
Discarded ashes
See, I'm caught inside this place
I was caught from a limb of my mother's hand
Told them I can't hack it in a room made of plastic
Until I saw a young boy an older man
A heart that's elastic, my mind so erratic
I wish they gave a chance just to understand
Swallow his feelings with a drink in

[Outro]
So why the long face?
Young in an older man
A heart that's elastic, my mind so erratic
I wish they gave a chance just to understand
Swallow his feelings with a drink in
You don't understand, yeah
You don't understand
You don't understand
But, you don't understand, yeah, yeah
Man, you don't under
