Lyrics

A baby boy walked in the world so innocent
Two parents happy as hell, they got a son and shit
First born no manual will teach you how to do this shit
No blueprint, but if you have faith, the son'll be equipped
Insecurities, the IV might have a slower drip
Coping mechanisms, they may see them as a gift
Manipulated trust behind the scenes, den caused a rift
They want him close to God, he tried to give himself a lift
Mental break, they had him playing tough to his script
Empty rooms, demons climb the wall, he won't relive
Advantage taking muffled screams, no, he won't relive
Secret kept but evil, keep on lurking through your crib
Closer with your family, tryna know your friends
Tainting the image of you before you get to remember again
Mental anguish looking at him like he's sick again
Neglected trauma got him walking with a tick again
Wise, but he ostracized, they ask him about kids
He far to paranoid, don't want their destiny like his
He let women lead, he don't fight for shit
Never felt like he was worthy, so he tuck it deep within
Chasing love, but he don't own it with an ego tint
In attempts to be hard, he write away until the pencil thin
Back at the plate, swinging when he just might miss again
Losing peers' tears form great lakes like Michigan
Confused by religion, fixated on what a Christian did
Don't ever be afraid to stare at the roots of your family tree
Soul betrayed, he built a shell like they'll never see
New ways, memories fade, know what it gotta be
Be yourself, open the shell, know who he gotta be
Standing tall, capital P, just like the prodigy
Caught his demons all in the alley, now he a prodigy
Everybody been eavesdropping, but still not hearing me
