obed padilla - chicano poetry lyrics

[intro]
didn’t i give you everything…

[verse 1]
if you believe
i think you could walk on water
throw away your pride
alongside all your dollars
? a little faith
that’s not good for your posture
i can’t catch a break
could you throw a little softer
the homie od’d on the way to his mama house
that should have been me
when i was on my way out
can stand a bunch of zealots
and what comes out they mouth
every saint got a past
and every sinner ‘gon shout
and even though i know his plan is better than mine
i tend to wrestle every chance
that i feel so inclined
it’s matter of the heart, but
not to be confused, with
changing who you are, cause
that sh+t ‘gon consume you
[chorus]
excuse me if (excuse me if)
i’m ungrateful (i’m ungrateful)
i just escape through all the things
that went and took you
and i don’t deserve this kind of grace
? with all the mistakes i made
excuse me if
couldn’t save you
but i’m grateful

[verse]
don’t be deceived
i’ve seen the hands of my father
crying on his shoulder
while i made an empty promise
later in the evening
i overdosed in my room
foaming at the mouth
and i’m just staring at my shoes
the truth is inconvenient
but a fantasy is a problem
told plenty of lies, but
i don’t care to comment
seen temptation and shook a hand with a smile
been sitting on a fence every since
and it’s been a while
la viva es fria
i seen to much to be quiet
we do it to ourselves
and resort to our own violence
a jury of my peers
wouldn’t understand the survival
easier said than done
when you’re trying to break a cycle
[chorus]
excuse me if (excuse me if)
i’m ungrateful (i’m ungrateful)
i just escape through all the things
that went and took you
and i don’t deserve this kind of grace
? with all the mistakes i made
excuse me if
couldn’t save you
but i’m grateful

[bridge]
barely survived so why do i
have so much guilt
didn’t i try so hard
just to keep you alive
i’m empty inside
so why do i have so much guilt
didn’t i try so hard
just to keep you alive

[chorus]
excuse me if (excuse me if)
i’m ungrateful (i’m ungrateful)
i just escape through all the things
that went and took you
and i don’t deserve this kind of grace
? with all the mistakes i made
excuse me if
couldn’t save you
but i’m grateful
[outro]
didn’t i give you everything…
didn’t i?
