This song is about my childhood and how unconditional love for my family and friends has helped me overcome obstacles. Its just me reflecting and thinking back to when I figured out adults were basically older children who seem to fuck up more than actual children. Sometimes we struggled in my house but we always loved each other.
lyrics
Grew up in the hagar additions, out in Garden City, K, it was greater than Britain, just a house away from Gilbert, a block away from Stacy, across the street from joey, our lives were full of maybes, like maybe we were better than that busted down buick, adults would speak their minds and I would listen til im fluent, in bullshit talk, and those negotiating skills, watched my father pawn possessions in the name of paying bills, momma told me never worry bout the things we fight about, put a pen up in my hand said to write my feelings out, you got, 2 brothers take care of em son, I got 99 problems but a sis aint one, cuz if I had sister and some dude was messin with her I would probably explode and make my problems something bigger, Oct 25th, you would be 31 today, my world it fell apart the day that gilbert passed away.
Never say goodbye, never say goodbye.
Its unconditional love.
Ok let me understand something, y’all don’t get along so I don’t get to see my cousins? No logic to that sentence as kid or even now, im content with what im doing, hope I do my city proud, behind me are some issues that I seem to resurrect in the interest of the music and use it to connect to the people who are broken, feeling empty in the chest, used to walk around my city bumpin coolio cassettes, making wishes I was cooler, wishin girls would take an interest took me 20 something years until I found myself a princess, she lets me be myself, she don’t ever get embarrassed bout things that make me happy and the amount that I been swearin, like fuckin A, life it varies by the day, today were feeling lonely but tomorrow were ok, forget about the bickering, a waste of all your energy, no shame in bein humble, you can love em unconditionally.
