Retep - This Boy Dont Play lyrics

(Intro) Mom whats gonna happen? Dad just left in the car In the back was his duffle dag Didn't say goodbye now dont start to cry Lets get the last laugh in She told him lifes going backwards Gonna lose the home but not losing hope We hated his antics Good feeling abandoned We took it for granted and started to panic Calling every family member And lets get together To weather this storm They said no weve been here before Losing the fight but winning this war Pick your own battles still staying the course This is your grandma have faith in the lord And just ask the court for child support That never comes long it never runs Fell to the floor hes feeling numb Mom with tears in her eyes had to pick him up Hes contemplating suicide thinking he lived enough 14 years he has lived up she told her son theres no way you be giving up You haven't gave enough but your brave enough To give your gaming up haven't you played enough? What? (interlude) Kendle realized his life changing Friends hes losing names are strangers New town new home he ain't gonna make it No father bothering him it just started to dawn on him He got free time he can pick up a sk** He took out his diary these words would just spill Started writing his thoughts down his spine went a chill Words would connect his demons would hex Feeling like Arnold when he started to flex Metaphors more complex like stretching his pecs No more settle for less this is how he will handle the stress While spitting a verse the hardships left Mind went to harmony within a single breath He went from stressing on outfits To finding his outlet Pain will leave if he could amount it And start to gain power from those who will doubt him Keep it 100 no screw it keep a thousand When dad left he was sad and upset And manic depressed So he want back to the lab With a pen and a pad and learned how to rap (interlude) This is just the beginning The moment he will never forget it Hes sick of his feelings and puts on a clinic He picks up the pieces and pictures his image Pushing his limits away go the women Writing till hands start to grimace His dad was just pimping To mad to forgive him Imagine the way you living Was taken but then you just flipped it Put your foot down but never could pivot He wants to travel the world never could fit in Never the strongest never fastest How could he use his wisdom He could get you to listen So hes in his room just spitting His world is spinning Nobody gets him hes to damn different With pins and needles within him This his world now never can turn down Learned sounds till the house burned down Its not about the cap and gown Its about the plaques and platinum And this all worked out Hes ready for new life Hew hope new goals reach em in due time Before he was quite now he has something say You better be staying awake cuz this boy dont play
