Angel

(album: 20Flaw7 - 2018)

I will soothe your pain, I will ease your strain
You'll be waiting in vain, I got nothing for you to game

I will soothe your pain, I will ease your strain
You'll be waiting in vain, I got nothing for you to game

My name is Derrick, I be on 127th wit a weapon and whatever sellin
Been a repeated fellon, been kinda sloppy since I bodied everyone tellin
So once I make all of this money, I can get to bailin
A couple kids, a couple others that I never met
I left mothers under cover as soon as I set
I couldn't stomach all the crime, really made me stress
So I started grinding, 12 years and I never left
I serve everyone, getting that money, dumb quick
Everything was cool until I started serving this one thicc
Young chick, 15 told me she was much older
Her name was Angel with an angel on her right shoulder
She looked hung over, more like a runaway
But she had a 20 so I gave her what she wanna taste
My boy was heated, but what the hell was he gonna say
He just looked the other way, that was someone's daughter tre

I will soothe your pain, I will ease your strain
You'll be waiting in vain, I got nothing for you to game

I will soothe your pain, I will ease your strain
You'll be waiting in vain, I got nothing for you to game

I see shorty around the way, product got her comin back
Same clothes, telling her body to buy a couple packs
See Angel bringin money and knew a couple rats
So I started using her more to get a thicker stack
Started off straight, get the money, bring it back
Anything they ever asked, I made sure they had it fast
Felt like I had to keep em together to make it last
Angel told me that I was like the father that she never had
Couple months pass, everything is fallin off
And I think I know the source, money's just a little short
She must think I was about to figure out about the loss
Liquor got me wantin to show the shorty just who's the boss
Sent her to The Morgue, 200 to get her off
We wanted somebody gone, we just had to make the call
Handing her off was the last time that I owed her
It was over for the angel with an angel on her right shoulder

I will soothe your pain, I will ease your strain
You'll be waiting in vain, I got nothing for you to game

I will soothe your pain, I will ease your strain
You'll be waiting in vain, I got nothing for you to game

Phone's ringing, private number calling
I don't answer private numbers
But the funeral number's calling
Hit the phone to talk and I can hear someone mourning
It's one of my baby mothers that I never see too often
She said, I'm just calling to tell you that your daughter's dead
Since you're such a deadbeat the least you can do is pay respect
She ran away about a year ago and someone said
They saw her with a killer that's known for taking off people's heads

Start to break a sweat, getting off the phone wit her
With a loss of self respect now a little self-centered
If I'd a been there, I'm thinking she woulda grown better
This here is karma for Angel, I shoulda known better
I'm feeling colder, wishin that I woulda known her
Thinking back about the times that I had missed when she was older
Mother sent me a picture, I held it a little closer
Just a pretty little angel with an angel on her right shoulder

I will soothe your pain, I will ease your strain
You'll be waiting in vain, I got nothing for you to game

I will soothe your pain, I will ease your strain
You'll be waiting in vain, I got nothing for you to game
