lyrics

uh, find a faster way to do this/
Han Solo with my blaster on laughing my way to Luke/
its in the sky, i know, i walk there..brown liquor but i talk clear/
brown skin and from them i inherited all this black hair/
nature vs nurture, dont kno my father either/
least not the one i look like, did he wish that he had took care?/
do i have my mothers eyes, does she ever try to look there?/
and see me reflected see me reflecting on this hook here/
i dare say, life aint fair play/
but the hand that i was dealt was the best in the worst case/
thank you mom and dad. thank you mother and father/
and if i ever find em will they wish that they had never been bothered?/
wish id never been offered, wish they never adopted/
we seen some barney rubble yes, but together we walked it/
crunching gravel underfoot in search of good and glory/
fighting the Nothing flying high a Never Ending Story...

CHORUS

find a faster road to recovery/
i had to push the boundaries to figure out if they loved me/
i acted ugly. i felt unwanted./
i turned my back on many cuz from the beginning i felt affronted/
felt like fuck it, i wish i was anywhere but here/
but i couldn't get what i wanted because all i wanted was not to be stuck there/
its unfair all the sides of me that my mama saw but in my head the voices said 'yayayaya'/
i raged, cursed the world, curled fists and shook mine/
hated the way i looked because i never knew who i looked like/
and when Peggy died, everything was changed/
a fractured family shaken after shattering from the pain/
her children grew closer, my mama had her heart broke/
something was lost in the shuffle and some people let their cards show/
we're healing still, wishing, feeling like i miss you/
still don't know my bloodline, sometimes i close my eyes and i...wish....
