Norma Jeane

[Intro]
Check
It’s been a minute since I thought about
Nah I got this one ready

[Verse 1]
It’s been a minute since I thought about it
Let alone talk about it
Seen the darkest clouds and wonder why the Lord allowed it
Rain pouring down, umbrella? I got caught without it
Bet that I’d get wet with it so I could walk without it
Let’s not talk about if Grandma’s good, awkward silence
Swimming in the hospital sheets
She saw her daughter drown in
Grandpa’s gone, she calls me to talk about him
Can’t understand what she’s saying
I’m just nodding, smiling and laughing whenever she laugh
I know she knows it
So we going through the same song and dance, do-si-doing
I give you my heart, I know it’s broken
It’s supposed to open it doesn’t, I know it’s closed
But it wasn’t always that way, it took a bad day
Danny, you better man up or whatever Dad say
Didn’t give my mom enough presents, regret my past ways
Future looks brighter, for now I’m where the shadow casts
Saying

[Chorus]
Never know what you got until it’s long gone
Singing the wrong song
But it still sound good to me
We gon’ take the long way home for this one
For this one
We gon’ take the long way home

[Verse 2]
Then it became a question o' what means more to me
I’d marry Marilyn Monroe, ignore the Norma Jeanes
Can’t wear normal jeans, barely can afford these things
Was never 1-2 count my blessings rocking Jordan 3s
Thank God for this lean, sort of seems appropriate
They call it lean, I use it as a crutch, wonder what’s broken
It’s up to my lungs and my liver, my heart had enough
Bad enough I’m bad at love, no one never had the guts
To tell me love ain’t there or for that matter that it was
This never had a daddy, stuff added up
Am I bad at math or what? Better with words though
Better at getting to 7-11 than stepping in church, yo
Needed my herb rolled up in something that burn slow
Church folk only told me go to hell and burn slow
Words don’t hurt though after a glass of Merlot
Mine start to slur, won’t forget what I heard though

[Chorus]
Never know what you got until it’s long gone
Singing the wrong song
But it still sound good to me
We gon’ take the long way home for this one
For this one
We gon’ take the long way home

[Outro x 5, to fadeout]
Do you lie to see me smile like I do?
Don’t answer that
Don’t answer that
Do you lie to see me smile like I do?
Don’t answer that
Don’t answer that
