Let Me Explain (feat. Nigel Prime)

Yo I witnessed the sickness Ma Dukes succumbed with quickness Breast cancer stage four Death at her front door Lost innocence at twelve Putting pain on shelves I can still hear the cries Cussing the skies Going down wrong routes Cause you in the clouds Now I'm plagued by doubts Is the path set in stone Or can I write my fate Floating through time and space To see your beautiful face Uh Residual emotions Anger misplaced Let me explain What I keep contained A picture frame broken Life flipped a token My rose wilted away Returned to the clay Tears cover the page Heart's enraged Many shackles and chains Questions riddle my brain Why'd she get sick and pass Can't see me graduate class Witness my first born Yo now my world is torn Let me explain My heartache and pain After this one Shit'll never be the same Let me explain Sun shines through rain Maintain faith with pain So much more to gain Let me explain Action and consequence You could avoid these steps Or up in the same mess Let me explain What riddles my brain Missing your smile Tears flow down like the Nile Sounds of silence Open deafening thoughts To stop this pain Let the gun go off Self inflicted Heavily addicted Who the f*ck is really gonna miss him Listen Tears held back like a horse's reigns If I ever cry again thunderstorms for days Plus forty nights Poke forty times Still couldn't find the vein to escape and get high Depression fortified Lost the love of my life I could erase your pics Though the memory strife So low On my sleeve A corazon Impresario hoping for a better tomorrow Yo Ex-lover's manifesto You unforgettable Maybe I placed you too high on the pedestal All those times I held you close Huh Now I have to learn how to let go Let me explain Sun shines through rain Maintain faith with pain So much more to gain Let me explain My heartache and pain After this one Shit'll never be the same Let me explain What riddles my brain Missing your smile Tears flow down like the Nile Let me explain Action and consequence You could avoid these steps Or up in the same mess Grew from the struggle Arose from the rubble Live with a purpose After escaping the furnace Aye yo Nigel Face in my palm Where did I go wrong I thought love could weather all heavy storms Life's really grim Surrounded by sin Abandoned by kin The light's getting dim Revenge of the syringe Can't happen again Close the chapter Or laying in the casket grim Sacrifice my soul Just to bring you back Broken need to be whole Silence gun click-clacks Sleeping with a broken heart Scars from sharps shattered shards Pick up the pieces Move on Understood by few You couldn't walk in my shoe Carried too much weight Death date written on slate Let these words get you open Written on moleskin Bring you closer What's the use of staying sober
