Ray Rife - Redemption lyrics

This one right here is based on a true story No names Just know I feel your pain yo [Verse 1] Wake up in the morning hardly can get out the bed Still haunted by her everlasting fears Of her father leaving and not wanting the same for her child So every joy is overshadowed by the tears Smiles and make up cover up pains of a compliment She knows they mean no harm But every time she's praised she prays for more stars And to lay in the arms of the one that gave her the bump Another deadbeat father walking the pavement Since she got pregnant her family retracting statements Growing up all she knew was that they'd be there through the thick and thin But soon as pressure thickened family love got thin they left her thin Giving birth to a child she wishes she had aborted Not because she don't want em Motherhood can't afford it Feeling obligated for that life so she gives him up And cries herself to sleep for years Can't forgive herself [Hook] She misses him She misses him She misses him And even though she has a life She'll give up anything just to look in his eyes She misses him She misses him She misses him Its been so many years Another lonely mother tryna swim through her tears She misses him [Verse 2] Was once wealthy off love now he don't wanna Single for some years, but still doing his numbers Yet every time he penetrates he almost hyperventilates Afraid the condom breaks and replays a past mistake Of leaving his woman alone crying Got a seed out there to father but he ain't trying To feed him, nah To make it worse he still don't wanna meet him, yea It's just the world that we live in Its nothing new, cowards will act a fool Then act like its nothing son starving as he stuntin Play it off to his boys like inside it ain't hurting him His dad did the same, now his son he deserted him At night he look up, sippin on cheaper liquor With his boy wanna pick up but too much damage to pick up Over time the thoughts start to burning up inside him Because his only legacy is growing up without him [Hook 2] He misses him He misses him He misses him And even though he never met him He wants to be a father even if its just a second He misses him He misses him He misses him Swore to never be like The guy that left him but hes of the same kind He misses him [Verse 3] Every dream he has he feel like he see his mother Knows he adopted but treat his brother like a brother His best friend since birth, can't deny that Though the blood ain't the same in their veins their bond is timeless, Oh Thirteen, youngin in the 8th grade on the b-ball team In the city made a name for himself And didn't even need his father help From his biological, all obstacles he excels But He wishes to meet the woman that brought him here A smart kid he understands why she left him there Doesnt even know he in for a shocker His parents set it up for him to meet his real momma Amongst the celebration of his last game sees the woman of his dreams Same tears falling down her cheek Runs to give a hug, not a word for him to speak As cuh from verse 2 can only watch from the seats Redemption [Hook 3] Redemption Redemption A mother and her son have made up Too much time lost but theres so much more to make up Redemption Redemption Redemption Redemption
