(Intro)
Yay yay, yuh
Yay yay, yuh
Yay yay, yuh
Aye
Yeah yeah, yuh
We ain't ever reconcile
Aye
We ain't ever work it out
Yeah yeah yeah
(Verse One)
They say it's better late than never
But I never could've predicted we'd be severed
At an instant I'm trippin'
Back home bought my first suit at the age of twenty-two
Just to look good when they buried you
Things changed but we never got a chance
Eighteen left the crib never called never planned
Didn't really get along understand
From each other we was blind, you was loud I was quiet
Never spoke on my mind, I was hurt I was cryin'
I wish mom picked my side, It was urgent I'm dyin'
Everyday that went by was a day I survived
I was eleven years old at the time when the trauma arrived
Telling me to be a man I ain't even knowing how to be a child
Self-expression I was not allowed
Now I'm grown but you gon' and I found, that
(Hook)
We ain't ever reconcile
We ain't ever work things out
We ain't ever reconcile
Recover from the hurt I found
We ain't ever reconcile
We ain't ever work things out
We ain't ever reconcile
Recover from this hurt I found
(Verse Two)
Momma got a boyfriend now
Its a new feeling
Long as I see that smile on her face
Who am I to be bitter
Lot of things to consider
In the same breath none of my business
Then again that's my momma my nigga
Don't care if she wrong I'm gon' honor her nigga
Ain't get to impress you
As a kid all I wanted was that
Even got into shit I took no interest in
So we could have a convo bout that
Even hit you to get some advice despite
That my decision was made
At this point in my life was tryna get over events from back in the day
There's more to the story than trying to be grateful
That you was around
Some niggas only got mommas
But that is not what this shit is about
This about taking the car keys
Free will through the patriarchy
Been embedded in you and I'm sorry
We was late to discover the harsh things
And before we could even get our thing, together
(Hook)
We ain't ever reconcile
We ain't ever work things out
We ain't ever reconcile
Recover from the hurt I found
We ain't ever reconcile
We ain't ever work things out
We ain't ever reconcile
Recover from this hurt I found
