Human Made Parka

(Album: Speak No Blue - 2020)

Dancing in the rain in my Human Made parka
Trying to put the fear away in what I author
Wash tears away, disguise them with the water
When the sunshines the smiles come
In that order
I'm past borders
Liberated from bad auras
We used to pack momma's Taurus trying to escape the coroners
We played the corners like Deion on [?]
Trying to stack a couple dollars for those that coined us heathens
Overachievers in the wrong shit
Hand to hand, gun busting had the block lit
Old heads said our behavior was toxic, needed discipline
But we running around mimicking them
Ain't no different then
Bad behavior
Learned that from all the wolves before us
God save us, hope we outlive our pops and mothers
The street preyed on us
When it got cold they gave us covers
Didn't run the same blood but we was brothers
Loyalty runs deep when you're from the same struggles
Mi casa su casa
My parka, your parka
If I'm shining you shining
Ain't no way it get darker
I put my name on the line
Even signed it with blue marker
Never live with regrets, that's the type of shit that'll haunt you
We got enough to deal with on our day to day shit
Life ain't promised to us might as well celebrate it
With those you love
Tough times, we smooth 'em up
The rain don't last forever but while it does
I'll be dancing in the rain in my Human Made parka
Trying to put the fear away in what I author
Wash tears away, disguise them with the water
When the sunshines the smiles come
In that order
I'm past borders
Liberated from bad auras
We used to pack momma's Taurus trying to escape the coroners
