No I just can't let go
Hold on to the fallen ones
Those who lose they life, live like an offering
Before we proceed promise to offer some
Highest of silence for songs that sung
Because where they come from is where we come from
Fallen angels sippin' liquor
From long rivers poured by those who still remember
A street laid wet with death, peace the contender
Content with the dawn, stayed gone for some Novembers
In December, playing Excite Bike in suspenders
Sunk in the scent of black eyed peas for dinner
The fruit of my grandma's hands extended for her fam
Togetherness the essence of her plan
My Dad made up one of her three sons,
Rumours of a fourth whose life got cropped short
I learned later that each of them had excelled at sports
But competition wasn't just for the courts
Strained relationships from pain so invassive it
Had a place at the table where a step father should sit
The peas pass, until she passed
That dinner was our last,
How do I make up for a life you never had?
I cook the same peas hoping the connect us back
Sometimes I swear i can feel her hands, no I
No I just can't let go
Hold on to the fallen ones
Those who lose they life, live like an offering
Before we proceed promise to offer some
Highest of silence for songs that sung
Because where they come from is where we come from
Getting close to the knife I know
My truth gonna deepen the cut
Ancestory in the dust, each chapter a drop in the buck
Each actor Dinero with luck
Pick apart Grandpapa with a furious touch
Grandma saved up she left to get closer to us
Just a block, why he didn't follow not a thought
Why we never go visit him at his spot?
He moved in with us when his kidneys got shocked
5am Dialysis, I drove him through the frost
We talked about life but it's like we never talked
It's like he knew the roads and eventually they'd cross
Pause, I'm watching Monday night raw
Pause, seizure in the room next door
Pause, something tell me to go take a look
Pause, hospital grandma by his she not shook
Pause, his heart paused, that night
Retired nurse Grandmama helps him to revive
No I just can't let go
Hold on to the fallen ones
Those who lose they life, live like an offering
Before we proceed promise to offer some
Highest of silence for songs that sung
Because where they come from is where we come from
