[Intro] Keychain: "I just thought it'd be better to do that than to---. Kuz it'd be weird like you watch the video and you're like 'Wow, that's a weird voice'. But like I don't know---- I'm sorry Feel like all I'll ever be is sorry [Verse 1] What is the measure of man? Is mine hatred and murder? Am I as black as the crow that picks eye from the corpse? And of course, the child uses the same rhymes I shame my mother by womanizing this new dime So if she die today, I'll become this scoundrel Passing STD's and not held accountable I was once knew peace but I was my son's age Hope he doesn't find me here kuz I'm in a bad place My women in poor taste and they largely more important than him I'd rather chase yamps or fuck with his mother real slow Depressed and fucked up a death grip on the past See my mother dies in pain, my son is growing too fast Why else would chase millions bitch, I'm tryna save life A pursuit that is in vein, blood money and insight All my songs they saying the same thing My rhymes ain't been tight What happened that kid? Rhymin' in that room? His granny saw his passion His voice made a mountain tremble He used his common sense and told his family he loved them He said fuck em kuz they ain't been there Erica callin' and he on Adams, soul searchin' His son ain't heard his voice in over a year He too afraid to call, it's the sum of his fear That they'll hate for his choices His mother my mother voice breakin' Through phone calls, she givin' up and what the fuck? I still need you I never had much but you made it possible I watched you cry through everything and that shit never fades I play you a solo and get better with age, I'm sorry Momma I'm sorry [Verse 2] You ain't shit nigga You're less than dirt, Jena shoulda never let me hit it All I caused was pain, knew she was ready but it wasn't just her Just a year before, I tried to cherish another Maybe kuz I felt neglected by own birth mother Latchin' onto different woman just to feel like somethin' And not a waste of space like I thought of my seed When I pray for abortions, when I picked up that blade and started cuttin my arm I thought that nobody cared Didn't give a fuck, they bullied and called me weird Felt alone kuz I'm the reason that Dalone really left He'd prolly be blasted if I had a strap My brother told me let it go and take that shit back But I look at my son and I'm just like him The man that left me hateful and my life so grim Tell my momma that I'm sorry kuz this might be the end Tell my son that I'm sorry kuz I'm just like him [Outro] Father: "He wanna play crazy!? He wasn't crazy when he murdered my son, man!" Nantes: "Look me in the eyes and tell me okay. After the movie go off, you gotta do your ABC's, okay? Okay?" Alex: "Okay" Nantes: "No. Look me in the eye! Why you not lookin' at me? You gotta look at me! Okay? Okay?" Alex: "Okay" Nantes: "Okay? Okay? Okay? Okay? Okay? Okay?" Alex: "Okay!" *laughs*
