7 Year Update Lyrics by Newing

EL Newing

2019

[Intro]

*sniffing*
Ok
Let’s try again

It has come to my attention
That of you I don’t make mention
Huh, wait
Give me a second
*Page turns*
*Sniff*

[Verse 1]

Its just so hard for me to talk about this
If Ima talk about it cannot be quick
Cause this here topic leaves me mentally sick
I walk around like it ain't more than a prick
It took so long for all your lessons to stick
Called me a failure cause, man I was thick

You had to pass away for me to get the message
Now listen to alla the shit I done did

Came off the block cut off all the wrong friends
Tried to erase the gangster cuts on my hand
Went from getting zeros to being third in my class
Matric I took my first damn steps as a man

Passed with a B can you believe that shit dad?
Off to University engineering’s the plan
Years later came back they all called me the man
But a salute, ain’t as good as from the lead of the clan

[Hook]
You see I miss you
I really miss you
Ain’t got no pride see all this pride is all yours
I grind so hard hoping you proud of your boy

You see I miss you
Damn, I miss you
If only I believed that you were looking down on me
God damn
I’d have so much joy

[Verse 2]

I got employed at your old workplace
Grinding oh so hard while your stories I chase
It troubles me to think that your career was on the brink and now your memories we put down on these tissues

I remember you and momma planning trips
Travel through the country and on ships
Oh, what a story, what a script
Did it have to slip from her fingertips?

I work so hard hoping I am your revision
The result I’m ridiculed for my decisions
For taking different directions to what I’m given
I see the furthest but they hate up on my vision

See they don’t know I’ve rid myself of indecision
With all my drive it might just lead to a collision
And for that I cannot make no provision
My ambition resonates with my precision

I’m not fully introverted I got friends now
They help me hold all the depression life hands out
They follow me even though I ain't mapped out
Like it’s impossible for me to be a sell-out

That type of love I could never have imagined
And it’s all because I resonate passion
And that I split everything till my last ration
See those your lessons

Love life and have compassion

[Hook]
You see I miss you
I really miss you
Ain’t got no pride see all this pride is all yours
I grind so hard hoping you proud of your boy

You see I miss you
Damn, I miss you
If only I believed that you were looking down on me
God damn
I’d have so much joy
