Through A Window

(album: Telephone Road - 2020)

Harris county jail, I'm back in the H
Mind up in space, life full of heart breaks
This for every hood G and every hood believing
That things will get better, and that we will break even
Always under stress, or behind on the bills
Momma made sure we never missed no meals
And I'm still in the storm, but please don't mourn
Surrounded by badges, or police uniforms
Open ya arms, and accept my words
For my babygirl, everything I have is hers
For my welo and wela, and for all of my cousins
For the struggling families keeping warm with their ovens
I look around my hood, I see joy and laughter
If I could capture the moment, I wouldn't see what came after
When the Sun disappears, now I face much years
I wipe the tears of my lady as her make up smears

Do you know what it is, to see your life
Pass before your eyes
You miss the simple things
A bird with broken wings
The clock is frozen cold
Your men are growing old
The times that time will kill
Our wounds they never heal

Make the right decision, you were made in this image
You deserve the very best but only you can give it
I seen mothers on crack, smoke while they pregnant
Sometimes a memory so tragic I just wish that I dreamt it
Then I realize it made me who I am today
All the pain and I wouldn't have it no other way
The hardest things in life, you can use to help others
I remember as a kid, I hid under the covers
All the screamin and fighting, felt like thunder and lightning
You can see my hands trembling from the lyrics I'm writing
I met my wife In my teens, and she still by my side
The bride of a G, two different worlds collide
But she saved my life, and gave me somethin to live for
Too blessed to stress, still there is nothing I miss more
Than kissing her lips, as she sleeps late at night
And although I'm locked up, you still keep me alive

Do you know what it is, to see your life
Pass before your eyes
You miss the simple things
A bird with broken wings
The clock is frozen cold
Your men are getting old
The times that time will kill
Our wounds they never heal

Do you know what it is to kiss your babies through a window?
See ya whole life pass through a window?
See ya wife full of tears through a window?
So many lost years through a window

Do you know what it is to kiss your babies through a window?
See ya whole life pass through a window?
See ya wife full of tears through a window?
So many lost years through a window

I guess god brings people, in our lives to help us
From wives, to those who volunteer us shelter
To mothers that listen, and give us love and guidance
All the birthdays, holidays, full of surprises
Where would I be, without the ones who love me?
Before I could rap,before I had any money
My best friend Joey, his mom daisy would feed me
His dad was like my dad but then he died from drinking
I tried to think of the good times, and so should you
Every Easter Sunday we would have a ocean view
It was Galveston beach, some say the water was dirty
But I never understood, to us it was so purity
Got kicked out of Welch, and checked into Hartman
Started smoking weed and my days had darkened
God made man, so of course he knows how we function
Just open his book man, and read the instructions

Do you know what it is, to see your life
Pass before your eyes
You miss the simple things
A bird with broken wings
The clock is frozen cold
Your men are growing old
The times that time will kill
Our wounds they never heal

Do you know what it is to kiss your babies through a window?
See ya whole life pass through a window?
See ya wife full of tears through a window?
So many lost years through a window

Do you know what it is to kiss your babies through a window?
See ya whole life pass through a window?
See ya wife full of tears through a window?
So many lost years through a window
