Intro
Used to be a dark child
Used to be a dark child
Staying after dark child
Laying at the park child
Missing what we used to be

Used to be a dark child
Used to be a dark child
Staying after dark child
Laying at the park child
Missing what we used to be

Verse:
This for all them little dark days
Lord I pray

Months ago had me feeling crazy
Had to find a better way

Find a job with better pay
Lost my fam and lost my way
Had to battle through the pain
Shit so hard I couldn’t face

Villain smile like jokers' face
Shit was hard just to embrace
I could feel it in the rain
How I made it through them days

Had to rationalize the waves
Had to silence out the rays
But the sun just brought me shame
Had to make it out the cave

Now my visions not the same
Seeing my mistakes
How I balance out the names
Wrote it out, for later saves

Just to come back to them games
Had to switch up on my lane
Had to upgrade on my thang
Gave my people better knowledge
Gave up shit that made me lame

Had to do it for my people
Had to stick it for my mom
Had to fight it for my uncles
Reminisce on better times

Had to save up a collection
Plated nickels copper dimes
Tried to blow my own light
Found this little light of mine

Had to kill my inner demons
Just to find a peace of mind
Signed a treaty with my reasons
Just to buy me some more time

Had it decent for a heathen
Had to spell it out in rhyme
Just to give it all back to you
Make sure you caught it this time

I didn’t do it for the viewage
I just did it for the song

I ain’t get like I want to
Still these people sing along
I keep singing all these songs
Guess raps how I get along

Guess it’s how I stay close to you
Guess it’s how I speak my mind
Guess it’s how I remember you
Gran you been here all this time

I don’t wanna write a song
That’s what I wasted time on
I didn’t get to say bye to you
So I sing it all in songs

I didn’t have a chance to grieve
I ain’t know what to believe
Couldn’t see you in the present
So I chat with you in dreams

Ask you what’d you choose to be
If you could do it all twice
How’d you make some history
Know you always did what’s right
Even if it’s history
Gram Ill love you all my life
Wish you could be here with me

Wrote songs bout you all night
Guess this just hits to me
It’s like you’re still right here me
Like I hear you simply
Hear your voice so gently
Always how it’s meant to be

I’m just missing
What we used to be
Just missing what we used to be
This and that
Family trap
This is new to me
My Aunty gave it to me beautifully

Missing what used to be
I'm just missing what we used to be
This and that, family trap
This is new to me
Aunty gave it to me beautifully
