For You In Rhymes by Mercifuljay Lyrics
Intro: This song is dedicated to my son
[Chorus: Mercifuljay]
Moved back to Liverpool which is in the Northwest
For the best
Set up a new life
You know the rest
Far away from Kent
Far away from Kent yeah
Far away from Kent yeah
Moved here not by choice or love
But for my health
To write more
Produce more
Unlocking my full potential
But leaving things behind
My son
My friends
My home
All I got is memory's of these times
Recreated for you in rhymes
[Verse 1: Mercifuljay]
Even though I had most things
Everyday feeling the way I felt
I couldn't bare living in despair
Thinking does anybody actually care
Part of me feeling useless
The other raring to go
Something was restricting my flow
An opportunity came up and I had to go
For the love and the pain I needed a change
But at a price leaving my son behind
I feel like I owe him my life
Staying there I could of ended it with a knife
It's better to be here than be there
Only seeing you like 6 times a year
To work on my music career
To give you the life I never had
I've been trying since the day things between me and your mum went bad
But it don't change anything I'm still your Dad
When you grow up you'll be glad
You'll have better memory's of me as a Dad
The times you spent with me and Cookie cat
[Chorus: Mercifuljay]
[Verse 2: Mercifuljay]
What more can I say
Other than I promised myself that day
When your Mum walked out the door
It felt like you was taken away
It hurt me more and more every day
Trying to deal with my issues
But they obstructed me in every way
So hopefully one day you can understand
Why I couldn't stay
But for you
I always wanted the best
Because you deserve nothing less
But now is the test
By sacrificing my time with you less
But at least things between me and your mum ain't a mess
But in the future I'll be more ahead in time
So now using my skills to express to you in rhyme
Before I'm out of time
And I love you son
There's not a moment that passes by that you don't cross my mind
But I've got to stay strong
I've gone this long
Not just for me but for you
There's nothing son I wouldn't do for you
That's why I wrote this song for you
[Chorus: Mercifuljay]
Moved back to Liverpool which is in the Northwest
For the best
Set up a new life
You know the rest
Far away from Kent
Far away from Kent yeah
Far away from Kent yeah
Moved here not by choice or love
But for my health
To write more
Produce more
Unlocking my full potential
But leaving things behind
My son
My friends
My home
All I got is memory's of these times
