Lila Downs - Yanahuari Nïn lyrics

Yeah, it's my life My own words I guess Have you ever loved someone so much You'd give an arm for? Not the expression No, literally give an arm for? When they know they're your heart And you know you are their armor And you will destroy anyone Who would try to harm 'em But what happens when karma Turns right around and bites you? And everything you stand for Turns on you, despite you? What happens when you become The main source of a pain? "Daddy look what I made Dad's gotta go catch a plane" "Daddy where's mommy? I can't find mommy, where is she?" I don't know, go play, Hailie Baby, your daddy's busy Daddy's writing this song This song ain't gonna write itself I'll give you one underdog Then you gotta swing by yourself Then turn right around on that song And tell her you love her And put hands on her mother Who's a spitting image of her That's Slim Shady, yeah baby Slim Shady's crazy Shady made me But tonight Shady's rocka by baby And when I'm gone Just carry on, don't mourn Rejoice every time you hear The sound of my voice Just know that I'm looking down On you smiling And I didn't feel a thing So, baby don't feel no pain Just smile back And when I'm gone Just carry on, don't mourn Rejoice every time you hear The sound of my voice Just know that I'm looking down On you smiling And I didn't feel a thing So, baby don't feel no pain Just smile back I keep having this dream I'm pushin', Hailie on the swing She keeps screaming She don't want me to sing "You're making mommy cry, why? Why is mommy crying?" Baby, daddy ain't leaving no more "Daddy you're lying" "You always say that You always say this is the last time But you ain't leaving no more Daddy you're mine" She's piling boxes in front of the door Trying to block it "Daddy please, daddy don't leave Daddy, no stop it" Goes in her pocket Pulls out a tiny necklace locket It's got a picture "This'll keep you safe, daddy, take it withcha'" I look up, it's just me Standing in the mirror These f**in' walls must be talking 'Cause, man, I can hear 'em They're saying "You've got one more chance to do right" And it's tonight Now go out there and show That you love 'em before it's too late And just as I go to walk out Of my bedroom door It's turns to a stage They're gone And the spotlight is on And I'm singing And when I'm gone Just carry on, don't mourn Rejoice every time you hear The sound of my voice Just know that I'm looking down On you smiling And I didn't feel a thing So, baby don't feel no pain Just smile back And when I'm gone Just carry on, don't mourn Rejoice every time you hear The sound of my voice Just know that I'm looking down On you smiling And I didn't feel a thing So, baby don't feel no pain Just smile back Sixty thousand people All jumping out their seat The curtain closes They're throwing roses at my feet I take a bow And thank you all for coming out They're screaming so loud I take one last look at the crowd I glance down I don't believe what I'm seeing "Daddy it's me, help mommy Her wrists are bleeding" But, baby, we're in Sweden How did you get to Sweden? "I followed you daddy You told me that you weren't leavin' "You lied to me dad And now you make mommy sad And I bought you this coin It says, 'Number One Dad'" "That's all I wanted I just want to give you this coin "I get the point, fine Me and mommy are gone" But, baby, wait, "It's too late dad You made the choice Now go up there and show 'em That you love 'em more than us" That's what they want They want you Marshall They keep screamin' your name It's no wonder you can't go to sleep Just take another pill Yeah, I bet you, you will You rap about it Yeah, word, keep it real I hear applause All this time I couldn't see How could it be That the curtain is closing on me? I turn around Find a gun on the ground, co*k it Put it to my brain and scream "Die Shady" and pop it The sky darkens
