Know Me Better

lyrics

Son
If you could only know me better
Made mistakes when I was young before our ties were severed
Me and your mother
Were really close really close
Don't know if she told you but I know she remember
Why you think sports and writing come natural to you
Used to write poetry it passed down to you
I listen to your songs and I'm living through you
Don't let the world do a number on you
Like it did to me
In so many ways
I was young I was young
There are many ways
It could have turned out differently
But we're living this way

That's the thing about life sometimes no second chances
Come your way and you gotta keep on advancing
Innocent when I was young but it's an evil world
I can't lie when I say it was devil dancing

But some things turn out alright
Spoke with granny
She said you're alright
I understand your frustration and why you might
Feel abandoned and act as if you might
Need to stand alone and be a man out of spite
What you don't know is we kinda had a similar life
You got my temper too I know you feel some nights
Like you can take the world 1-on-1 in a fight

Wish you could know me better
Now it's your choice

In this life family is all we really need
Get to know your brother and sister
Do it for me
Might connect well and find commonalities
Between each other
You never know

The first born
That should stick with you
Set a good example so it sticks with you
May not believe it
But I still miss you
On those days I didn't show up and I missed you

Hope we can talk so you
See my point of view
Pictures of us I still got a few
Family history that I can give to you
Don't expect you to listen to what I'm telling you
Just know you're a part of me and I claim you
Just hard to express I know you feel what I do
Wish you could know me better
Now it's up to you
