byron henderson - never be alone. lyrics

[part i]

[intro: marina esmeralda, byron henderson]
beebee, can i ask you something?
mm
when we were talking about aaliyah earlier, i kind of felt like something was off. like, you sounded worried
i am
why?
because i’m the only person she has from a standpoint of consistently being there and making sure she turns out okay
and you don’t think you’re enough?
i’d like to be. but i know i’m not. i’m outnumbered. drastically. make no mistake, i want the best for bro more than anyone. and i mean anyone. i want her to thrive and grow into a decent pеrson. but this isn’t a world where we always gеt what we want. regardless, i’m sure of the fact that i love the kid too much to be disappointed by any of these potential outcomes. i’m rooting for her more than i ever thought i’d root for a kid. always. but her environment is trash and my gut tells me that one day someone will come along, she’ll cling to them and it’ll be a disaster. i’ve seen all of this before. so it’s best not to be delusional. for all i know, she might end up having her own azrael
oh no
it’s gon’ be what it’s gon’ be. some things you really can’t change or alter. fingers crossed i’m dead already by the time that happens though
baby, you don’t mean that
don’t i?

[hook: byron henderson]
i’ve been waiting to die for a mighty long time
but the mighty don’t kneel
til you hit my line, i stand on my own two feet, feet, feet
ain’t gon’ be no peace, peace, peace

unless you pull it out, cause you know that’s all they do
don’t n0body want their round, less you’re fighting with the truth
ain’t no ‘mos around these parts
not until the beef sparks, ending with the street chalked
thinking what’s the use?
[bridge: byron henderson]
said, “come”, as he arrived on a pale horse
she only loved me with my eyes closed, but i couldn’t see
and since i had my own beliefs, in her mind, i fell short
but i never fell at all

[verse: byron henderson]
devils run the government, k!lling innocents
funding genocides, loving it
who’s defending this?
they done shot up meri’s club again
should’ve k!lled the rich when the time came, came, came, came
devils run the government, k!lling innocents (nah, nah+nah+nah+nah, nah+nah, nah)
funding genocides, loving it (nah, nah+nah+nah+nah, nah+nah, nah)
who’s defending this?
they done shot up meri’s club again (nah, nah+nah+nah+nah, nah+nah, nah)
better k!ll the rich when the time comes (nah, nah+nah+nah+nah, nah+nah, nah)

[part ii]

[intro: byron henderson]
yeah yeah, yeah yeah
i said yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
look
[verse: byron henderson, marina esmeralda]
mind’s a lantern in the darkness, the spark of an artist
navigating isolation, cathartic yet disregarded
a martyr’s march in this garden of dreams where silence screams
solitude’s a heavy coat, unspoken quotes, and violent scenes
mental health’s hanging by a thread, a web of thoughts i’ve bled
in this bed of dread, my anchor would rather me drift instead
society’s eyes are blindfolded, behold the desolation
a nation both dreamless and soulless, frozen in trepidation
shadows where battles of the baffled minds collide
trapped inside the patterns of the past, i found a light to guide
a saga of survival, vital signs in vinyl strides
riding tidal waves of trials, where the idle minds reside
can try to silence the sirens, but the violence doesn’t hide
underneath the skies of tyrants, where the cries of justice died
society’s deceptions, inceptions of the insidious
in the city’s gritty sections, where the lessons turn amphibious
and so i walk to this discount zone, past two reflections chirping bout a block they did not own
daily routine, after school activities
a bag of hot fries as i await a text from marina, something’s wrong though
antennas up, my gut’s ringing alarms, appetite gone
my eds got me in a blend again
a+n+x+i+e+t+y either trying to be friends again or warn me
can’t tell the difference, it’s haunting
i figured i best get walking
i turn left to head in the direction of my residence
low and behold +police siren+, answering all my questions
interrogation in process
profiled over a bag of hot chips and a meisler hoodie
plus i’m thuggish based on outfit choice
accusation of stealing a single bag of chips from a building i’m mere feet away from
i offer to take him back inside for proof
“it’s a waste of time”, he says
truthfully, he just wanted to spray something
basically cl!cking out, i’m wondering should i say something
his weapon’s drawn
i look at the ground as my brain’s running a marathon
incoherent thoughts with subtle flashes of a face that i know very well
waterfalls on each cheek cause heaven’s gone
sitting beneath the moon’s soft glow, i spit this
words woven like silk threads, in this universe so relentless
you’re writing me with a soul’s whisper, ink on the page of my spirit
i read each line, hear your heart’s song, and oh, i revere it
through the darkest nights, when my was spirit hollow
you were the whisper of dawn, that path i’d forever follow
grateful am i, to be the fortress where you could unfold
every facet of your being, and every story untold
shared your insecurities with me, i held them close like secrets
sworn to protect you, my love, your essence the deepest
memories of catching tears in my palm
your heart in my other hand, wrote your fears on my arms for safe keeping
guess we’re a sonnet of sorrow, a ballad of bliss
an unfinished aria sealed with a kiss
forever my sanctuary, solace under darkened skies
surrounded by all this death, and yet, you make me feel alive
looked up and told him, “either shoot me or go about your day”
i heard him holster his gun and murmur as i walked away
a war inside my mind i’ll probably struggle with til i decay
“either i’m a waste of a bullet or he lacked a vertebrae”
nevertheless, i guess i huffed and puffed and blew his pride down
been dealing with cancer growing inside my body since i was nine
now i’m receiving the text that said, “i’m safe.”
i replied, “can’t wait to be home”
she replied, “as long as you think of me, you’ll never be alone.”
[hook: marina esmeralda]
love is just concept i feel i’m outgrowing
anytime i’m not beside you, why is my mind going
to the deepest, darkest places my soul has ever known
but long as i think of you, i know i’ll never be alone

love is just concept i feel i’m outgrowing (yeah)
anytime i’m not beside you, why is my mind going (yeah)
to the deepest, darkest places my soul has ever known
but long as i think of you, i know i’ll never be alone

[bridge: marina esmeralda]
you dry my eyes
i cry your tears for you
can’t change the tides
i lost my mind as i howl at the moon

[outro: byron henderson]
five years post katrina
not a single change in optics with coppers still on the cleanup
yeah, i know i’ll never mean much
tell randy, “the little pigs won’t care how much i get my cream up”
had it been time, i would’ve been fine
i’m just byron, who gon’ miss me, bruh?
