Autumn Leaves

Autumn leaves
 November raining
 Earshot, teardrops on my windowpane
 It's been so long since I said your name
 It's like you're a distant memory
 I miss you endlessly
 But twelve years might as well have been a century
 I hope you found serenity
 And God grants you clemency
 This wasn't meant to be
 We never knew about
 Mental health issues
 Or your suicidal tendencies
 I was only 20, but still a child mentally
 Mentally scarred
 This shit affected me tremendously
 It didn't seem that way then
 But it seems that way now
 You took the easy way out
 You could've seen this play out
 Now you'll never hold your grandson
 He's got your son's blue eyes
 I promise he's so handsome
 How come you never said goodbye to the boys you raised?
 I love you pop, I just can't accept the choice you made
 I went through life thinking shit was all a breeze
 But things change like the seasons
 Autumn leaves
 Autumn leaves, Autumn leaves
 Autumn leaves, Autumn leaves
 Autumn leaves
 Things change like the seasons
 Autumn Leaves
 I went through life thinking shit was all a breeze
 But things change like the seasons
 Autumn leaves
 Autumn leaves, Autumn leaves
 Autumn leaves, Autumn leaves
 Autumn leaves
 Things change like the seasons
 Autumn Leaves
 Listen pop
 You'd be so surprised
 Eric's sober now
 Shit he almost died
 He's much older now
 He shouldn't kid himself
 That's why he's focused on his health
 He's got a kid himself
 Your father passed
 I told Denise we couldn't make
 Sent a gift to Bruce and David sorry but we couldn't fake it
 Cause since you left we don't really speak as much
 Or speak at all
 To keep it real, we don't keep in touch
 And mom is doing good
 She's retired now
 After 40 years shit'll finally quiet down
 And Kelley tied her down
 They're finally gonna tie the knot
 And me I'm still rapping, striking while the iron's hot
 Remember pop, when you bought me Pro Tools?
 And told me never stop?
 That's the greatest gift I ever got
 No cap, I just thought that you should know that
 The times they are a changing
 If only I could go back
 Until we meet again
 Things change like the seasons
 Autumn leaves
 Autumn leaves, Autumn leaves
 Autumn leaves, Autumn leaves
 Things change like the seasons
 Autumn leaves
 I went through life thinking shit was all a breeze
 But things change like the seasons
 Autumn leaves
 Autumn leaves, Autumn leaves
 Autumn leaves, Autumn leaves
 Autumn leaves
 Things change like the seasons
 Autumn Leaves
