about

This song is also about my cousin who passed away, but it more deals with his upbringing and things that I saw affect him greatly without him ever mentioning it. Many home-life situations frequent in our communities can have an enormous effect on children in an academic capacity and can affect their confidence in the following adult years as well. Wanted to touch on this in this sort of trilogy on education.

lyrics

"The Left Behind"

Hey, Ma.
I've been wonderin' why you're not around.

Did I do something wrong?
What's really going down?

Your other kids all live with you,
it's like I'm not their bro.

It's like I'm all alone.


Came from a different dad, his mom's raisin' me tryin' her best.
I just figured I'd reach out, got a lot on my chest.
Feeling like I'm stuck in the school or in the street.
Fed up gettin' stuck up like a fool without no heat.
Feelin' out of luck, in the groove of a defeat.
Still been gettin' fucked on a loop that just repeats.
They just kicked me out the 11th grade for good
'cuz my wish kept gettin' granted that a motherfucker would.
Caught up in the bullshit wishing someone understood.
Wishin' it was true that I could make it out the hood.
