Chicano Poetry Lyrics by Obed Padilla

2024

[intro]
Didn’t I give you everything…
[verse 1]
If you believe
I think you could walk on water
Throw away your pride
Alongside all your dollars
? A little faith
That’s not good for your posture
I can’t catch a break
Could you throw a little softer
The homie OD’d on the way to his mama house
That should have been me
When I was on my way out
Can stand a bunch of zealots
And what comes out they mouth
Every saint got a past
And every sinner ‘gon shout
And even though I know his plan is better than mine
I tend to wrestle every chance
That I feel so inclined
It’s matter of the heart, but
Not to be confused, with
Changing who you are, cause
That shit ‘gon consume you
[Chorus]
Excuse me if (excuse me if)
I’m ungrateful (I’m ungrateful)
I just escape through all the things
That went and took you
And I don’t deserve this kind of grace
? With all the mistakes I made
Excuse me if
Couldn’t save you
But I’m grateful
[verse]
Don’t be deceived
I’ve seen the hands of my father
Crying on his shoulder
While I made an empty promise
Later in the evening
I overdosed in my room
Foaming at the mouth
And I’m just staring at my shoes
The truth is inconvenient
But a fantasy is a problem
Told plenty of lies, but
I don’t care to comment
Seen temptation and shook a hand with a smile
Been sitting on a fence every since
And it’s been a while
La viva es fria
I seen to much to be quiet
We do it to ourselves
And resort to our own violence
A jury of my peers
Wouldn’t understand the survival
Easier said than done
When you’re trying to break a cycle
[Chorus]
Excuse me if (excuse me if)
I’m ungrateful (I’m ungrateful)
I just escape through all the things
That went and took you
And I don’t deserve this kind of grace
? With all the mistakes I made
Excuse me if
Couldn’t save you
But I’m grateful
[bridge]
Barely survived so why do I
Have so much guilt
Didn’t I try so hard
Just to keep you alive
I’m empty inside
So why do I have so much guilt
Didn’t I try so hard
Just to keep you alive
[Chorus]
Excuse me if (excuse me if)
I’m ungrateful (I’m ungrateful)
I just escape through all the things
That went and took you
And I don’t deserve this kind of grace
? With all the mistakes I made
Excuse me if
Couldn’t save you
But I’m grateful
[outro]
Didn’t I give you everything…
Didn’t I?
