Hucci - The Guilt lyrics

[Verse 1]: Another father cries, another Black boy dead 15 years of love replaced wit six bullets instead And all that i can think is why father not me Cause that boy so pure of heart and so tainted i be Sometimes i slack on acknowledging all da blessings i reap... Focusing on depression and da failures dat creep... Like how my money low and how my heart don't beat And how i'm constantly falling to all these sins that i seek But a n***a got a whip, and a roof over my head And it may not be much but its some food up in the fridge And a n***a still alive, still striving to get up out the flood While other n***as taking they last nap in a pool of blood.. The destruction be so powerful And i swear it ain't enough hours spent thinking in this shower dude... As that warm water brush my shoulders I pray me and my loved ones make it over... [Bridge]: And i ain't tryna bite the roots But too many n***as branch out and forget about they roots So busy tryna shake the leaves Dat they helping block the sunshine and hinder the breeze [Verse 2]: And then theres me, prospering at a slow pace but dammit i'm free At least In comparison to piers I made it out for a bit, did college for 4 years While Other n***as was continuously shot Teens getting pregnant, cops hara**ing the block Mothers strung out, fathers on d**h beds Brothers incarcerated, sisters giving head For a lil bit a doe to buy dinner with Damn we so unthankful for the simple sh** Like yo i'm breathing, i woke up another day It's some sh** i gotta say, f** if i'm sounding cliche That guilt is strong on my back Its so much d**h around me but my body intact While lost youth head, arm, legs still getting detached While I'm sharing my pain for my people in raps [Outro] And so many think its holding me back But the people I feel guilty about inspire this crack So if you wanna know why i rap Take a look at all these palms imprinted on to my back The Guilt
