Delroy's Son (Konan Solo)

You are the King, I gotta do it But if I die, would you let all it down? If you could wait There will be sunshine, there will be good times And no matter what, keep the faith in you (you) There will be sunshine, there will be good times You drank yourself to death 'Cause all you wanted was your flowers, and I've never said it But that's why it bothers me when I don't get the credit How could they ever understand? How could they ever get it? Knowing that it killed you, how could I ever let it? Stuck with this feeling that I can't explain I guess they only say they love you when you pass away But legends never die 'cause the music lives to play forever They finally gave you your flowers, better late than never So much has happened since I last wrote you Don't know if Carl told you, he got shot, and things changed forever I try my hardest to make it better She lost both of you, I hope you're at the gates together And some days I can't get that off my mind But I'm flying your grave, I knew that was a sign Tryna make it up for all the conversations that we never had Give my Salams to Cadet and Nash I know they're praying on my downfall, but I can't let it stress me, dad It was the music or the grave, or they'd arrest me, dad God was tryna test me, dad I know it ain't your fault that you left me, dad How can it not affect me, dad? I still find it hard to open up 'cause I ain't over stuff And mum told me you performed in Brixton, I performed in Brixton Now when she drives past, she can think of the both of us If you could wait There will be sunshine, there will be good times And no matter what, keep the faith in you (You) There will be sunshine, there will be good times Yeah, they act like it's real love, but I know it isn't When you start popping, the hello's are different Had to learn the hard way, it is what it is What they take from you is always more than they give The streets turned my heart cold And the streets turned my heart colder I'd probably do it all the same if I could start over 'Cause you never understand until you're living in it Singing was your gift, and I'm a spitting image Mum turned 60, and she's still doing music Money's never been the reason for her They put her songs on streaming for her I swear, if they only knew all the things we went through I never made life easy for her Back when the restaurant was taking off I put your face on the wall, in case they forgot I put your face on my neck, in case they forgot You weren't alive, but mummy done an amazing job I spoil her for all the times she couldn't spoil me No will, we had to handle the lawyer fees 26 years back and forth over royalties When money's involved, people lose all their loyalties And I don't know if therapy will better me inside 'Cause keeping things bottled is a specialty of mine All I know is that your grandkids will never be deprived When I turn this mic on and keep the legacy alive You know You are the King, I gotta do it But if I die, would you let all it down? If you could wait There will be sunshine, there will be good times And no matter what, keep the faith in you (you) There will be sunshine, there will be good times
