Soul Lyrics

Seeing innocence in my daughter eyes

Taking pride inside, with all her strides

But I wanna cry, she came months after mama died

Her loss got me traumatized

Providin' was priority

Bottle it up - it is easy ignoring me

The more I breathe got these emotions controlling me

Bare my soul through my poetry

Cancer, stage four - year, twenty seventeen

Fearful, cause I knew what this could mean

Year before mom happy - I gave my girl a wedding ring

Told me I could do anything

Doctors sayin' she needin' surgery

Removin' tumors - still worrin'

Chemotherapy - also scarin me

Remission - more than just a wish for me

Prayin' that I'll still see her

Saw the pain endured after all the procedures

Hopeful - the cancer did leave her

Short lived - she start havin seizures

Spread to her brain, seems the reaper

Came to keep her, could see in her features

Near the end she couldn't speak but I could see the

Pain in her eyes, as death came by

Seein' her in pain hurt - my thoughts turned selfish

Prayin' please stay alive - I still need your help with

The next chapter of my life - there's some stuff we ain't dealt with

Just feelin' so helpless

Don't want her to die - knew that she felt it

Tears in my eyes - I couldn't help it

In the end we lie - asleep and at peace

Feelin' sorrow and grief

It's all hollow to me

I wanted to see her meet my daughter to be

I'm grasping at straws, it's just out of reach

Life came at me hard, knocked me offa my feet

Couple months later the product of me

And my wife came to my life - I'm all out of speech

Feeling right, what's the price? 'nother loss in my life

I'm all out of fight - what do you want from me?

It's what I pray to Allah,

No word to expect - try to stay my course

No room for regret - makes me hate me more

What do you take me for?

Mind a mess and stressed - postpartum was next

No room for a breath like a full court press

Zoom zoom in a lex - aloof and depressed

What use is success - if I can't thank you for it?

Seeing innocence in my daughter eyes

Taking pride inside - with all her strides

But I wanna cry - she came months after mama died

Her loss got me traumatized

Providin' was priority

Bottle it up - it is easy ignoring me

The more I breathe got these emotions controlling me

Bare my soul through my poetry

Seeing innocence in my daughter eyes

Taking pride inside - with all her strides

She reversed the tides - no longer feelin' worse inside

She the one that got my words to fly

She the one that got my words to fly

She the one that got my words to fly

She the one that got my words to fly

and I couldn't do it without my wife
