Gramatik - Kyle lyrics

[Verse 1] Let me tell you a story about a kid called Kyle Not the brightest boy, but damnit he had heart He always skipped cla**, never found it worthwhile The streets were now his home cuz his home was torn apart His parents got divorced by the time he turned six But let's just say this divorce wasn't peaceful Poppa left mom, kept calling her a b**h When the real reason they split is cuz poppa fooled around Being raised in a rough life of shared custody Mom said one thing, poppa said another Kyle and his little sister named Maggie Would always end up doing wrong by one or the other He loved his baby sister and he swore to protect her After all in this war, they only had each other When Kyle turned sixteen, he called his mom a b**h And now moms got another enemy in the family Chorus Unh, don't do it, I wish you didn't go And tear your family into two clans All I wanted, I just wanted to be loved Where my home would be my Haven [Verse 2] Now he was staying full time with his poppa He'd only see little Maggie two weeks in the month One year later their poppa's new girlfriend Told little Maggie she dressed like a s*ut Things escalated and then became violent At which point his dad had to take a decision Because if Maggie stayed, then his girl wouldn't And that was the end of Maggie's stay with poppa When Kyle was a boy, his dad would never feed him Even though he never was no stranger to the bottle He never really felt as though he belonged anywhere His mom was a stranger and his poppa was a roommate Now mom feels that she deserves more money She orders a court date, and arms herself with Maggie Shes taking down poppa, he's going to pay more alimony Im going to let you guess whose going to help out daddy Chorus Unh, don't do it, I wish you didn't go And tear your family into two clans All I wanted, I just wanted to be loved Where my home would be my Haven [Verse 3] Now little Maggie ain't so little anymore And the only time he sees her is December 25th There are so many words he'd like to her But they'd all come out wrong, so he better with Draw no attention, that was always his code He always seemed to fear that under the spotlight His anger would aim high, co*k back and unload And this is where our story begins to unfold Kyle liked the d** ‘cause they made him feel numb He badly needed money, so he started selling some Couple months later, a friend needs a hookup This chick was coming over and things were looking up On that same night, Kyle's friend called There was panic in his voice, he seemed so appalled He rushed to the scene, entered and then froze As he saw little Maggie, dead of an overdose [Outro] How am I to love, if I've never felt that feeling How am I to live, if I've never found a meaning Look at what you did to your kids You should've been there when they needed you But instead you chased your ex-wife Doing everything to bring hell to her life Now you all alone with no kids I hope that you know it's all your fault You stare at your daughter, looking for expression But your kid is in a coffin, her stairway to heaven
