Tears of a Don by Twondon Lyrics
[Verse 1]
(Uh)
I remember eviction notice, hopin' mama won’t notice
Tears in my eyes, niggas grown, so who the fuck gon' hold us?
I remember you a suck a nigga, leavin' us in the drought
Blatantly told me find my father, as you walked out the house
I remember them temperatures being cold as December
Room full of niggas, felt alone any time I would enter
I remember losin’ my temper, ‘cause my youth was frustratin'
No patience, as I thought on catapultin' to greatness
I remember affiliations, those colors was coordinated
I'm in a radius, where a nigga just had to face it, yeah
No red or blue, see I'm just hopin' for truce
We kill each other, while the other color just get amused
I remember them long talks, hands folded, it's your fault
Crushin' them beliefs, but still on my knees whenever I’m lost
I remember the dream is free, but see, the hustle – it costs
And I know your world is burnin’, but remember, it's yours, hold on
[Chorus]
I remember, hold on
I remember, hold on
I remember, hold on
[Verse 2]
I remember the song sing where my heart was in pain
Said, “Rest in Peace,” but the peace for me just wasn’t the same
I remember lookin' to blame, but see, that's not my position
Two days before you called and gone though, that shit had me trippin', premonition
You knew your faith, knew I’d be tearin' on this page
Wouldn't call it selfish, but I'm fucked up to this day
I remember safe havens with women I never dated
Underappreciated, both knowin' the feelings jaded
I remember the first day I ever saw my sister
Promised to change my ways, an example I had to give her
I remember missin' on sleep, thinkin' of sheets
How this composition could lead to winnin' through our defeat
I remember all the times Ray Jackson, when in his prime
Moon walkin' to destiny, get her pregnant before I die
I remember the dream is free, but see, the hustle costs
And I know your world is burnin', but remember, it's yours, hold on
[Chorus]
I remember, hold on
I remember, hold on
I remember, hold on
I remember, hold on
(Uh)
I remember eviction notice, hopin' mama won’t notice
Tears in my eyes, niggas grown, so who the fuck gon' hold us?
I remember you a suck a nigga, leavin' us in the drought
Blatantly told me find my father, as you walked out the house
I remember them temperatures being cold as December
Room full of niggas, felt alone any time I would enter
I remember losin’ my temper, ‘cause my youth was frustratin'
No patience, as I thought on catapultin' to greatness
I remember affiliations, those colors was coordinated
I'm in a radius, where a nigga just had to face it, yeah
No red or blue, see I'm just hopin' for truce
We kill each other, while the other color just get amused
I remember them long talks, hands folded, it's your fault
