Lyrics
[Intro]
Just a vacancy
Love don't live here anymore
You abandoned me
They say that trauma shit not real, but it is
You know?
[Verse 1]
Look
Swallowing lies, trauma coming up, so I deal with it
Ain't no picking sides, if you cross a line, you gon' live in it
Head to the sky, like, "Why you taking the real ****?"
If we went back in time, I'd be a field ****
You abandoned me
Record labels capitalize off us, fuck a deal, ****
Conscious shit ain't cool, they rather hear you say you kill ****
Sexualize our women, glorify how we pop pills, ****
When it's time to buy your masters back, that's when they kill ****
This rap shit get colder than the streets
Fuck buying chains and whips, we bought some land to plant these seeds
If it's up to me, I'd let all the dealers free
Know **** that's been locked since the '90s from selling weed
You abandoned me
This ain't the land of the free, these **** theives
Drop dope off in the ghetto, then lock you for selling keys
Broken mentally, but still won't hit that repeat
Reflections of my daddy, all his trauma live in me, look
I want more for my kids, so I been dealing with
Broken cycles from past lives, I did it with
The power of God and all my ancestors
I don't chase after shit, my ****, I manifest it
You abandoned me
[Chorus]
Baby girl at home, watching Blippi
I'm movin' round the city, clutchin' blicky
Yeah
I'm praying I survive till I'm fifty
And I'd use all my power to create us a world where you ain't gotta miss me
Even when I'm gone
Manifest
You abandoned me
[Verse 2]
Look, I know an atheist that don't believe in nothing
What's funny is he still believe in something
You don't hear me
I got a brother, addicted to nina clutchin'
Paranoid when he see the reaper coming
I got a **** stuck in every walk of life
My **** work a nine to five and beat on his wife
It's been nights, she called me screaming, just wishing he'd die
Then wake up like it never happened
These everyday stories I tell through rapping
You abandoned me
Father, mother, whoever you are, I need a sign
Never walk with the sheep, but I feel that you lead me blind
Twenty seven years and I still feel like a child
But thankful for my growth, I know my grandma be proud, ****
Grew up with wild ****, shootouts out there loud, ****
See you when you on him, he gon' dump into the crowd, ****
And can still look in the mirror and smile
I was lost, but this life shit got me figuring it out, on God
You abandoned me
[Chorus]
Baby girl at home, watching Blippi
I'm movin' round the city, clutchin' blicky
Yeah
I'm praying I survive till I'm fifty
And I'd use all my power to create us a world where you ain't gotta miss me
Even when I'm gone
Manifest
You abandoned me
