Sob Story Song

My brothers don't know each other, we barely know our sister

We don't even got no family pictures

We try to love each other from a distance, but it's hard to think something’s missin

Without typical sibling experiences from the beginning

But tell me this though, what is typical?

Momma raised me and my brother like a African ritual

Like Rafiki raised Simba in the openin scene

Like Kunta raised up Kizzy both hands holdin his queen

To the sky, my family ain’t the photoshop stock image

But we got the job finished when we clocked in and out

Momma ran the show like coach Popovich

Big brother was Tim Duncan with my pops dippin out

I guess that makes me young Kawhi then

The nice kid deadly but silent

No commercial endorsements but I'm worth your endorsement

Tryina carry the load, like I'm workin a forklift

You see the vision

This ain’t a sob story song

This ain’t a sob story song

This ain’t a sob story song

Just tellin you what’s goin on

My best friends used to pick on me because my skin is dark

Said you could only see my eyes teeth when I was in the dark

They called me African, like that was a bad thing

How was that considered an insult? I'm just askin

The crazy thing is, the crazy thing is

The same shit is goin on today with these kids
I said the crazy thing is, the crazy thing is,

The same shit is goin on today with these kids I see it

This ain’t a sob story song

Naw this ain’t a sob story song

This ain’t a sob story song

Naw just tellin you what’s goin on

Please don’t cry, don’t shed no tears

Love me now cus we still here

Please don’t cry for me

Please don’t cry for me

When TBT on Instagram come up

I can't even post no pictures of my family up

I don't even think my family owned a camera

But I know the one thing that we had was love

Black love, tough love, one love

When you love someone it's hard to unlove

The word love, what does it mean?

To different people it means different things

Some people got a funny way of showing love

Sometimes I think my people don't show enough

Then I remember we only show what's been shown to us

Slavery, Jim Crowin us and the war on drugs

So when I work with these young folk I try to show em something else

Even though it probably ain't enough to help

It's like a drop in a bucket a bucket in the Pacific

I try to toss em a nugget I'm lucky if someone gets it

Please don’t cry, don’t shed no tears

Love me now cause we still here

Please don’t cry for me

Please don’t cry for me

Please don’t cry, don’t shed no tears

Love me now cause we still here

Please don’t cry for me

Please don’t cry for me

Please don’t cry, don’t shed no tears

Love me now cause we still here

Please don’t cry for me

Please don’t cry for me

Confident but Sophisticated traditional Hip-Hop from Elzhi, beautiful link up with the talented Georgia Anne Muldrow, The production on here is warm and soulful, Elzhi can grip the listener speaking on lifes highs and lows but he also is confident and funny at times too, "We came to record the stand-out album of the year for the listeners, For those cooking up the dish like it's Siddish for us, It's going to get ate up, how it's meant to be, I mentally disturbed the entity that's sent to me.." markmcauley1 (Strictly Hip-Hop Spot)
