The Ghost of Jakob Marley

Walking down Main, through the dark, it's like three AM Thinking things change, everything, except for me I'm stuck spinning clockwise like a Merry-Go-Round Seeing life pass on I'm stuck in the background I'm Bokeh, cause I'm broken, Blurred out monochrome Brain waves, take a Photo of my headspace You can make amends, to this broken ass soul, that tries and tries again Though in the end, I end up feeling less-than Try to keep it all in focus, keeping Gramps from being homeless Underrated all his work, underrated all his progress Fifty plus years, putting in that grind, in case family calls, Still refereeing with that ball Still working overtime with the weight of all these burdens Now the rock to this family, carries us on his shoulders Blood pumping through the hearts of everybody older Still missing Grandma, wish we all could just hold her Stayin' up all night, just to hear you call Jakob Marley, the Ghost of Jakob Marley Sayin' who you miss, and then you start to bawl Jakob Marley, the Ghost of Jakob Marley Say you miss your wife, and you loved her so dear Jakob Marley, the Ghost of Jakob Marley I say, listen closely, and you'll see that she's here Jakob Marley, the Ghost of Jakob Marley Cousins are real close now, Thomas, doing great Derek keeps the optimism and that smile on his face Manny's got his own life, thrive with pressure on his plate But I love them all together and I hope they never change Unless it's for the better, treat them all like my brothers Wouldn't trade them for another, if they need me, got them covered Got their backs through a rough life, or the rough nights Cruise them with a car ride, hug them tight if they cry Buff them up, shimmer bright, I wanna see them shine Working hard on this music, wanna show them how to grind So I show them with my rhymes, no need to be a loner Letting go of all the pressure, don't let it be your choker Grandma's honor got this weight beaming on my shoulders Tryna care for everyone even if their souls are, bitter, colder Love them while they're still here and pull a little closer Even if they got a little Devil on their shoulders Stayin' up all night, just to hear you call Jakob Marley, the Ghost of Jakob Marley Sayin' who you miss, and then you start to bawl Jakob Marley, the Ghost of Jakob Marley Say you miss your wife, and you loved her so dear Jakob Marley, the Ghost of Jakob Marley I say, listen closely, and you'll see that she's here Jakob Marley, the Ghost of Jakob Marley
