lyrics

(Verse 1: Smokey the Ghost)
Parents Parents
I urge you hold your heavens back cause got my own, in heaven we live alone
And heaven and heaven repel
For generations in sequel
As simple as simple thinking, I was the boy in the middle
So listen my parents parents I enter the sea of sharks, you tell me live like a pebble
When sinking will never stop
Im clinging to mother's walls
Inverted but still in pause, im thinking I will asunder
Attempting the will of god
See light at the end of tunnels
My mamma said i was born... With my eyes wide open
Not crying but I was calm
Infinite in my body infinite in my head
Age is only a number the fearless will interpret
My pockets they will echo, no brahmin with benefits
Even education of me, needed the money cheque and you paid
But, that dont mean, ill ever be your bonded... slave

(Chorus: Smokey the Ghost)
mama, papa
Society can put the aura, on you
Did I hurt the family honour, oh yeah
When I said be a bard or poet
Please don’t stop me singing, mama, papa
Society can put the aura, on you
Did I hurt the family honour, oh yeah
When I said be a bard or poet

(Verse 2: EMF)
I don't know, I don't know if you proud of me
I condone, I condone all your prophecies
You saw what I would be, the moment I was born
2020 vision never hope that you were wrong
top sergeant, graduation from a top college
lost in a formal suit and tie in the stock market
I wont break your heart, but I am living broke
my white collar smells of marijuana smoke
it wasn't me, it wasn't me i was born to reach the highs that you allotted me
I guess i won the lottery, repeat telecast, I celebrate the past, this raise a walk in the park
I think i'm reaching last on the finish line in little time
i wont sit and cry, before i say goodbye
someday i make you smile, i can look up in the sky
cause i can look into your eyes rest in peace
