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
