Abandoned

(album: Ghetto Gospel - 2019)

AceLex got a full one

He's been abandoned his whole life (Oh yeah)
If loving me is hard, I apologize
If I push you away, promise you'll stay by my side
He's been broken, traumatized

Yeah, yeah, uh (Yeah, yeah)
Yeah-yeah-yeah, dawg, yeah-yeah-yeah, dawg
Uh, okay

I can remember, gotta remember way back when
Since a small small kid, I didn't ever have no friends
'Member daddy went to prison, Uncle Derek took me in
Then Uncle Derek went to prison, that's when my troubles began
Mama went off and found her some happiness, she got married
Missing my daddy badly, I turned my back on the family
And that left me looking for love in all the wrong places
Now my heart that was so full of love is full of hate
Everybody that I invested trust turned to be snakes
Everybody that I invested trust turned to be fake
I know you're frustrated, you want me to open more
But it takes a strong, strong heart to heal a broken soul

He's been abandoned his whole life (Oh yeah)
If loving me is hard, I apologize
If I push you away, promise you'll stay by my side
He's been broken, traumatized

Uh-huh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, uh
Yeah-yeah-yeah, dawg, yeah-yeah-yeah, dawg
Uh

Now here's a toxic trait that I have
I beg for distance when I'm mad, but being distant, we won't last
And if it's best for you, then go be free
But if you plan on coming back, then baby, you shouldn't leave
'Cause by the time that you get back, I'll be gone
Too scared of being alone, and where I lay my hat's my home
And I know that you're frustrated, you want me to open more
But it takes a strong, strong heart to heal my broken soul

Broken soul
Broken, soul, yeah
Bring the hook back right there

He's been abandoned his whole life (Woah, woah, his whole life, his whole life, yeah)
If loving me is hard, I apologize (Yeah, yeah, yeah, woah)
If I push you away, promise you'll stay by my side (Push you away, yeah, if I push you away)
He's been broken, traumatized (He's been traumatized, traumatized)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Yeah-yeah)
Yeah-yeah-yeah, dawg, (Woah, woah, woah, woah) yeah-yeah-yeah, dawg
