Ladi - Abandoned Lyrics

I feel so abandoned (Abandoned)
I feel so abandoned (Abandoned)

Growing up I was an oddball, My father told me break the fourth wall
My mother taught me play it safe child, trying to handle this kid who was young and wild
My brother taught me this is what it is, hard to relate to for me and sis
But that's not to say they didn't all assist but I struggled to see how it all fit in that west side
In Lagos, Nigeria, had me feeling too inferior
Too many times I could see the interior shell of a people claiming they superior
Sitting and watching a nation deteriorate, the fate of a country colonized inside outside
All them people living lies like

Why is it so intense? Is every lesson truly evidence?
Is all the pain just to reminisce on a time in the future that's heaven-sent?
Is it destiny calling me? (destiny calling me?)
Is it destiny calling me? (destiny calling me?)

Man, I feel so abandoned (Abandoned)
Man, I feel so abandoned (Abandoned)
Man, how'd this shit just happen?
Man, I feel so abandoned (Abandoned)

Damn ain't nobody get it
I've been work check to check and working up a sweat and Goddamn I regret it
In suffocated passion, A nigga trying to breathe but only in passing
It took four walls and a cell, and wishing on bail to see I was passive
Living and working but not really active
Living and working but not really active
Keeping intact the only tactic, losing graces of the inner sanctum and choosing anger over actions (Yeah)
And intuition got me wishing I could switch positions and be more adaptive (Yeah)
Shout out to Lincoln (Yeah)
Shout out to Avi to Sheshank and to Tenzing
Yeah them niggas knew I went missing
Shout out to Lincoln (Yeah)
Shout out to Avi to Sheshank and to Tenzing
Yeah them niggas knew I went missing

Man, I feel so abandoned (Abandoned)
Man, I feel so abandoned (Abandoned)
Man, how'd this shit just happen?
Man, I feel so abandoned (Abandoned)

Is it destiny calling me? Destiny calling me
Tell em to pick up the phone and I hope its recording
I need you to see, I need you to see what it takes
Just to sow a seed, just to feel the breeze, just to look over your shoulder and feel the need
To be humble but flex
And that what it means to move on to the next
In the moment is solitude, that's what you're feeling
In the moment is solitude that's what you're feeling I promise its just the beginning of healing
In the moment is solitude, that's what you're feeling
In the moment is solitude that's what you're feeling I promise its just the beginning of healing

Man, I feel so abandoned (Abandoned)
Man, I feel so abandoned (Abandoned)
Man, how'd this shit just happen?
Man, I feel so abandoned (Abandoned)
