Delroy's Son (Konan Solo)

Many people knew who I am

You had a dream, I got it too, and

And if I die

Would you let or hold me down?

If you could wait

There will be sunshine

There will be good times

And no matter what, keep the faith in you

There will be sunshine

There will be good times

You drank yourself to death 'cause all you wanted was your flowers

And I've never said it

But that's why it bothers me when I don't get the credit

How could they ever understand?

How could they ever get it?

Knowing that it killed you, how could I ever let it?

Stuck with this feeling that I can't explain

I guess they only say they love you when you pass away

But legends never die 'cause the music lives to play forever

They finally gave you your flowers, better later than never

So much has happened since I last wrote you

Don't know if Carl told you

He got shot and things changed forever

I tried my hardest to make it better

She lost both of you, I hope you're at the gates together

And some days I can't get that off my mind

Butterfly on your grave, I knew that was a sign

Tryna make it up for all the conversations that we never had

Give my salaams to Cadet and Nash

I know they're praying on my downfall, but I can't let it stress me, dad

It was the music or the grave or they arrest me, dad

God was trying to test me, dad

I know it ain't your fault that you left me, dad

How can it not affect me, dad?

I still find it hard to open up

'Cause I ain't over stuff

And Mum told me you performed in Brixton

I performed in Brixton

Now when she drives past she can think of the both of us

If you could wait

There will be sunshine

There will be good times

And no matter what, keep the faith in you

There will be sunshine

There will be good times

Yeah, they act like it's real love, but I know it isn't

When you start popping, the hellos are different

Had to learn the hard way, it is what it is

What they take from you is always more than they give

Streets turned my heart cold

Industry turned my heart colder

I'd probably do it all the same if I could start over

'Cause you never understand until you're living in it

Singing was your gift and I'm your spitting image

Mum turn 60 and she's still doing music

Money's never been the reason for her

They put her songs on streaming for her

I swear if they only knew all the things we went through

I never made life easy for her

Back when the restaurant was taking off

I put your face on the wall in case they forgot

I put your put face on my neck in case they forgot

You weren't alive, but Mummy done an amazing job

I spoil her for all the times she couldn't spoil me

No will, we had to handle the lawyer fees

26 years back and forth over royalties

When money's involved, people lose all their loyalties

And I don't know if therapy will better me inside

'Cause keeping things bottled is a specialty of mine

All I know is that your grandkids will never be deprived

When I turn this mic on and I keep the legacy alive

You know

Many people knew who I am

You had a dream, I got it too, and

And if I die

Would you let or hold me down?

If you could wait

There will be sunshine

There will be good times

And no matter what, keep the faith in you

There will be sunshine

There will be good times
