Jonathan Hay - Split Paths lyrics

[Verse 1: KXNG CROOKED] A kid grows up thinkin' his future gon' be easy But his life ain't nothin' like the shows he sees on his tv He's on a different path where the road gets split in half Right or left life or d**h it ain't an easy choice believe me His father left when he was in bed sleepin', ironic He woke up and his heart stopped over that dead beat Tears drop, legs weak, reading a letter that said he would be back next week He ain't come back though! And the little kid, he just couldn't handle it That was his first brush with abandonment He would discover another in the form of a lover who was a soul mate candidate, but for now happiness has advantages He told her he'd never leave her, forgot his bad past 'cause she was his amnesia Numbed all of his pain 'cause she was his anesthesia Until she walked out on him, he almost had a seizure Life's paintin' a dark picture, feelin' like an organ donor she took his heart with her His father took his childhood 'cause he had to be the man in a wild hood Nowhere to turn but the hard liquor Remember the split path, right or left, life or d**h It's time for him to decide, dear God, "just guide his steps" 'Cause he's drinkin' whisky, drivin' his car tipsy He knows it's risky but he's contemplatin' his final breaths Drivin' off a bridge and get rid of this silly drama Then he pictures his mama going through one too many dramas So he pulls over goes to sleep in a lot of Benihana's But enough about my life, listen to Iliana's [Verse 2: Iliana Eve] Now maybe I did not mean to treat you bad But I did it anyway And now maybe Some would say your life was sad But you lived it anyway So maybe Your friends they stand around they watch you crumble As you fall into the ground Then someday Your friends they stand beside as you are flyin' And your flyin' oh so high So maybe So maybe Then someday people look at you For what they call their own they watch you suffer Yeah they hear you going home Then someday we can take our time To brush the leaves aside, so you can reach heights Will you love me far behind? Now maybe I did not mean to treat you up so bad But I did it anyway Now I said maybe some would say, that after what you had You couldn't shake the pain No you couldn't shake the pain Now maybe I could have made my own mistakes But I wouldn't have known (?) Now maybe (?) Share of something good But won't you look And someday comes tomorrow
