about

Years ago, I was told by a drug dealer, in the crack house, that I would never go home and that drugs were my daddy now. Fast forward 15 years later, durning the pandemic, I started to get mentally ill and was forgetting where I came from. I was told to write down 5 things I was grateful for.
I remembered that bastard telling me bullshit lies about drugs being my daddy and I became highly grateful for another 24 hours of living sober, drug free.

lyrics

My daddy don't live here anymore. Shot him in the back walking out the door. Tried to keep my down but I'm unstoppable. My daddy don't live here anymore.
Oh and all that time I stayed laying down. He kicked me in my side and he pimped my soul out. And I grew weaker by the day. Lord please come and take this pain away. And then I cried baby.
I laid it down sometime ago.
And though I'm freer now I still get sore.
And when it pushed and pulls I stay thankful - for another 24

Smoke in my lungs, dirt underneath my nails. I walked these streets over and over for miles and miles. I consistently tried and I consistently failed -to set this thing down and rise out of hell.
My daddy doesn't live here anymore. I shot him in the back as I walked out his door. I fought for my life on a daily grind. And I feel to my knees in the nick of time

and then I cried baby

Oh I'm bleeding out and unsure of
my will to fight
Dear God give me the strength to go out from here and
give one more try

I laid it down sometime ago.
and though I'm freer now I sill get sore
and when it pushes and pulls I stay thankful for about 24
Ohh baby
