SINCE YOU LEFT

[Verse]
Damn I been feeling like hell
Instead of talkin' you yell
Them babies is crying for help
The ghetto is never yo friend
Society won't hold your hand
Variety, all of the struggles you see
The scars on they skins, they still smile anyway, hope for a better day
And since you left it ain't been same
Moms on that 9 to 5
Pops on that where he at?
Baby sis made it out, I'm happy
I'mma be the head and that's soon
The ties won't tie no more
What was you thinking when you left
Us all alone, no house, no bills paid
I'm tryna kick it like sensei
I'm sorry I that couldn't drop on my bday
And ever you since you left I been feeling like a man

[Bridge]
Ever since you left we ain’t been outta town
Ever since you left momma ain’t talk about you not anymore
Ever since you left my sisters been trippin' bruh and
Ever since you left I been missing and I
Look like you

[Verse 2]
And since you left I been feeling like a man, I'm tryna command
I'm throwing these orders and my siblings been
Tripping, they don't know where we come from, and you don't too
If I could I would've left you
But you wanna act up
So it's cameras and action
Documenting this life
I'm practice what I preach
Do it better than a Reverend
Painting vivid pictures with a spray can
I feel like Dane Stops, and I promise that
I can't stop, where have you been?
Heard you got a son
Is he bright like me?
Does he have a lazy eye?
Or I'm just the only one?

[Bridge]
Ever since you left
Ever since you left
I been feeling crazy
Ever since since you left I been feeling foresaken
Ever since you left feeling like I don’t belong
I been feeling like I wanna die, I been feeling like I can’t live
Ever since you left, I been feeling like I am alone
Ever since you left I been feeling alone, aye

[Verse 3]
You never came to your senses
What's it's like to be a dad?
You don't know whats that
But to leave your kids behind
Man that's so fucking wack
It ain't 'bout black dads
It ain't 'bout who came back
Stop pointing fingers where you
You lack, I just wanna see you back
Momma mad you ain't here
Like she doing this on her own
Now I'm 20 years old
Never contributed to my soul
Never contributed to my soul
You ain’t a man, you ain’t a man
You ain’t a man, you ain’t a man
(you ain’t a man, you ain’t a man)
Ever since you left I been mad
Ever since you left I know momma never finding peace
Ever since you left your daughter is being loved by another man
Ever since you left, I been feeling less of a man
What is a man? you tell me
What is a man? you tell me
Aye, baars
