james sydney - brookhaven road lyrics

[intro: james sydney]
yeah, it’s the one about veronica, i just got that one back

[verse 1: james sydney]
aye, veronica
i done got conscious
i done learned some things
i understand your love for the king

i was 12 and you was 17, i remember
hot as h+ll on the west side it was september
everyone yelling at you they just wouldn’t listen
tried to run in your room
but you ran through the kitchen, just wanted your distance

the fam dismissed anxiety
the fam dismissed depression
thеy called you crazy and lazy
black girls acting out just need to be taught a lesson, ayе
brookhaven road confessions

came and sat with you in that pontiac til it was dark outside
young and lost just watching you yell and cry against tinted windows
then you look at me and you look into my eyes
like you wanna ask what i’m here for
cause i love you, ain’t this what family do
didn’t know about consoling, but i knew my presence helped
i wanted you alive, didn’t want your obituaries on shelves
technical fouls in life can’t always find that ref
unheard prayers had you feeling like god was deaf
just you and yourself, and the little bit of spirit that’s left
no words, not much help

but i got you
i was 12 then didn’t know a lot, but i had you
would’ve saved you then if i had to
you found god, tommy, and a family, girl i’m proud of you
you got a tribe and they down for you, aye
god fixed that crown for you, aye

[chorus: james sydney]
save yourself
i looked to the sky when it wasn’t much left
they steal my joy, i was raised on theft, aye
better save yourself, aye
love yourself
i looked in the mirror when it wasn’t much left
they steal my joy, i was raised on theft, aye
better love yourself, aye
save yourself
i looked to the sky when it wasn’t much left
they steal my joy, i was raised on theft, aye
better save yourself, aye
love yourself
i looked in the mirror when it wasn’t much left
they steal my joy, i was raised on theft
better save yourself, aye
[verse 2: james sydney]
i turned 15 i was getting dismissed
hands on knife handles, all in the wrist
use to eat pills like candy, hospitals, deep sleep still panicking
what’s wrong baby boy, i start rambling
life or death, me and grim reaper shaking dice just gambling, lucky 7 again

full circle, i ain’t heard from jessica
ever since seem like every girl just a replica
tay said that i don’t rest enough
santana called just to tell me that she married a n+gga just like me
i guess she thought that that would make me happy
and that really f+ck with my psyche

i used to pray my mother find all the love that she deserves
married once before my father, in chi town all in the burbs
i know my dad made trusting harder
49 with your guard up, but you married now
that king to your queen card finally stuck

[interlude: tasha cobbs]
tell your neighbor it’s time to let go of those anxieties, it’s time to let go
you are not the only one god can use to reach that family member
he’s got options

good women in my life, that’s why my guard always down
they never hurt me, always fixed on my crown
told me don’t act like a hound
if rose had their hearts on the titanic, she wouldn’t have let leo down
she would’ve made some more sp+ce instead of letting jack drown
i should go see misty in a couple weeks
developed trauma, but none from my mama
i let these women get me hot as a sauna
typing essays, f+cking up commas
should’ve been an actor all of this drama
i’ll chill in the summer

full circle, ima dead poet
i’m the last to know it
i love hard and fall back with ease
never got the ground to kiss on my knee
smell perfume in my bedroom
phantom senses all of my doom
pose to go from grapes to a prune
champagne cup of hope, runneth over soon, aye
