prodigal - jor lyrics

(bridge)
it’s the places we go, and the things we do and see
the choices that we make, that make us who we be
does that make me just a bonafide b-st-rd
if that’s the case, guess i shoulda rolled the dice faster

(verse 1)
last night man i had the dream again
travelled back to that time, in the cab at 3am
that night was an l, when i outstayed my welcome
let the souls down, and now just a runaway felon
tossed the evidence in the trash by the bus stop
so it ain’t look suspicious that i only
dodged the mugshot
times like these i’d prefer a blaze of gunshots
let me out my misery, so i face when the fun stops
kept up all night by a f-cked up mistrial
ego was crushed by that hammer of a half smile
felt like a champion but neglected all the risks
so that moment had to cost my self respect after this
h-llions through my head when i try recapture this
the memories turned me to grey goose and tanqueray
and those ain’t even nights when the worst come back to plague
words i had to say, coulda won with better ways
but i took it in my own hands, and so the blood remains
but at the same time, i had fortune in my corner
when the folks turned a blind eye, so i ran with the warning
my man backed down, but left the weight of the torture
and i couldn’t explain, cause i was shaking from his orders
the grief was achieved, and my man was ganging up on me
grabbed my affairs, took the p-ssage out rapidly
lucky that the whistle wasn’t blown to my family

(hook)
show me a man with no skeletons in the closet
you know me as a man whose presence has costed
so hold up a flag and show your strength’s what it wasn’t
have a moment of lament for this selfish young prodigal
show me a man with no skeletons in the closet
you know me as a man whose presence has costed
so hold up a flag and show your strength’s what it wasn’t
have a moment of lament for this selfish young prodigal

(verse 2)
it’s the places we go, and the things we do and see
the choices that we make, that make us who we be
does that make me just a bonafide b-st-rd
if that’s the case, guess i should roll the dice faster
the faces we know, what we wouldn’t do to be
that you won’t see in your head, until after you deceive
vows that you break are the steps up to disaster
that leads up to when guilt becomes the master
held down by the weight of my words
the nagins i’ve necked, and the parents let down
my girl that i hurt, told me that’s the last time
so those regrets in my life, are from words that weren’t mine
things i shoulda said, didn’t sound good in my head
then i came around and tried to earn back respect
but my girl’s back was turned and all my texts went unread
now she sleeps sound, while i don’t no where to lay my bed
so with those wild swarms i’m left as a prodigal
wallowing in pity, no calls to the hospital
lay my bed there in the eye of the storm
no beauty to be seen, with the beholder off till morn
when the sun shines again, i’ll endure with my wanders
darken new doorways and be k!lled or get stronger
next phase acceptance, just face i’m a monster
cause a new leaf ain’t something that the wretched can conjure
but maybe on that night, i mighta overthought the reasons
that mood mighta pushed me further back into my feelings
it ain’t that bad, mistakes make us human beings
but that’s a lie, only 19 but my mind is older
shoulda made her wifey instead of what i told her
shoulda been a man so she could cry on my shoulder
no beauty in this storm, or the eye of the beholder
to lament, from the horse’s mouth, i apologise
11th hour now, but i’m still ostracised
gotta pay my dues, got business to optimise
people walk by as i’m repenting for the rogue days
worry bout old enemies, and haunt on my old pains
if i ain’t hurt my girl, would she be my soulmate
it ain’t her fault she found solace with her old flame
why i take cocaine, when joy ain’t hard to locate
i need second thoughts from neighbours as i pray on all them cold days
