T Shan - Making Our Parents' Mistakes Lyrics



T Shan - Making Our Parents' Mistakes Lyrics
Official




Pops asked, why you gotta make your own mistakes
I did it for you so that you would know the stakes
Ain't been taking all the risk that I could shoulder, ain't
Been cautious with my heart, and now it's put on novocaine
Always tried to blaze my own path
But missteps been the same shit that he's been on
If I know we don't belong
What does that mean for my parent's bond
What I picked up when I was young (When I was young)
Inadvertently what I be on (What I be on)
4K on them avions (Them avions)
Just so I could say to you à bientôt (A bientôt)
Product of their young ghosts (Of their young ghosts)
Better choices unmade, but then we wouldn't be here
Does it have to unfold the same way?
Should've never stayed together for the kids if they had thought about themselves (Themselves, themselves)
Fighting with you, hear my father in my tone, I never wanted this, but here we are (Here we are)
You're complaining 'bout your mama, how she threatens divorce
Only difference is you do that shit by text and not by voice to me
And you know you do, yeah, yeah
Use what your mama gave you, yeah
Pops asked why you gotta make your own mistakes
I did it for you so that you would know the stakes
Ain't been taking all the risk that I could shoulder, ain't
Been cautious with my heart, and now it's put on novocaine
I've been trying to be own man
But I sound like you when the going gets rough
Is it in the blood?
Is it us fighting?
Or are we fighting their fights
You know you break me
When you threaten to take from me the only thing that I can't lose (Can't lose)
It's you
Meaning I lost you everyday (Everyday)
Small things, there's gotta be better ways (Better ways)
Keep me from my family (From my family)
Keep me from my friends (From my friends)
Keep me from the music (From the music)
Keep me in your memory
Closed our doors on their fights but we still osmosed it
How many of our parents would still be together if they were white?
Your dad never could let her leave him
My mom crossed the world because he did
You weren't willing to do that, smart
Cold man with a heart of gold
I can't become that, man
Pops asked why you gotta make your own mistakes
I did it for you so that you would know the stakes
Ain't been taking all the risk that I could shoulder, ain't
Been cautious with my heart, and now it's put on novocaine
I've been trying to be own man
But I sound like you when the going gets rough
Is it in the blood?
It's hard to let go your demons
When they're in your sequence
My boy Danny closer to one-kneeing by the year
And he's been telling Lea
He's afraid he'll have the same demeanor as his father and it's all repeating
Provide a roof but that's the ceiling
I told him dude I'm sure you'll feel it
I told him dude I'm sure you'll feel it
We're not our parents, if you're even thinking 'bout it then we are the healing
Said it for me as much for him, we're meant for more than redeeming
