Bronze Nazareth - My Pain is Inside These Notes lyrics

[Bronze Nazareth] Born inside these notes just trying to make it Kingdom of kush, Push can inside my blood plate-less Daddy brought me home, he was bulletproof Spray shots at those Vietcong troops I was a sickly child in and out of hospitals Granddad's home and welfare cheese made it possible Picked us up from Grandma's she was drunk How could you pa** these years without Malcolm's j**els sh**, Cracking bottles on the pavement As I pa** like Dandelion wine in Granddaddy's basement I walk a lonely strole, While Clayton threw gla** at Mom's skull Until her and Lynn jetted, Mom's with an ebony prince fetish I grew to match with fatigues, And f** a factory That's about the same time G's Pop pa**ed away We hugged on the porch and laughed the pain away Lonely times, It was three of us inside the same mind Damn life is like a land mine, Just living is tragic Told you Pops jumped out of helicopters made it through mad sh** I found his Pendergra** in the attic, Now I'm an addict While cancer grew in his throat like Granddad's did sh**, I never seen screws so tight I saw the first stream of my Dad's tears at night While us cousins just dreamt on dream pipes While us cousins we dreamt on dream pipes I'm still scared of those mean nights That's why he watching videos in the back room My Mom went to Vidal Sa**oon, Hair combed and groomed Dad sat on a picnic table on family reunions Down by the beach we would be fooling Tyler Williams slammed me in the backyard Now they slammed him in his graveyard too hard Karam made it far with his brave heart Wish I could trade art for time Wish I could take them bullets out of Sean's spine And play lineback about four years in time What a waste of life, And this is life that you couldn't see Until you put my shoes on and walk with me, Peace
