letra de childhood - nathan baya

i’m about to become
a parent
but i think
it’s more than apparent
that i’ve been parenting
from day 1 cause i’ve
always had to parent my parents
i always had to be the mediator of
peace and pick up every piece of
their relationship that was torn
from the moment i was born
when i was in the womb
i was the most protected
when i was born by what
was going on outside my mother
stomach i was the most
affected but i managed by elevating
from umbilical cords to vocal cords
for self expression
even though we was poor
my words made me feel connected to wealth
rap in my household was considered sin
so my art was treated like a path to h-ll
but to me rap was heaven cause heaven
is what you consider home
and i do believe in the after life
but i refuse to die before i experience
heaven so i created it for myself with the stories i would tell
i believe my art was hated
cause there wasn’t an umbrella created
for this level of brainstorm
i was tested from birth
i was breached so
it’s only right
i write words that cut deep
cause c
the section i was born in
only the strong survive
and i’ve lived long enough to know
that to live means to suffer
to survive now that’s to
find meaning in the suffering
i was always in the middle of my
parents problems like malcom
little did they know
they created a revolutionary
like malcom
sometimes i wish they would become x’s
not because i’m against marriage
but because i don’t believe
just because you give someone a ring
you should be in the ring with them everyday
and treat your marriage like a boxing match
and force your kid to be a coach for each team
like they weren’t created by both teammates
i’m on team piece
anyone offering anything different
i’m yelling out
peace cause i need all of me
to be the best of me
for the best of my daughter to be
as fathers we play an important role
when we’re absent it takes a tole
when you don’t father the daughter you created
another man will but he won’t father her like a father should
he will love all the parts you didn’t love with love with l-st and for mines that can’t be the reality i’ll be her first love so who ever she chooses after me she first have to match him with me cause i set the standards of manners fit for a queen
