I apologize
I apologize
I apologize
I apologize

Y'all reside in the center of your mother's irises
See, the glimmer in her eyes is your flyness and I can't even lie
For me to bring y'all here at the time was
Something that I feared was unwise and I
Mired in selfish pride was 24/25
Itching to be mentioned with lyricists I admired
Unprepared to be a father
Didn't care, to be honest
Despite what was clear as your mom's desire and so I
cpologize
The decision to end your beginning here was mine
The decision of sin, of infamy is mine
c decision which rendered y'all a memory of mine
c memory I've tried to decline
cnd even to dismiss
But I hear y'all speak with each movement of her lips
I
See y'all peek every time her eyes twitch
I
Feel y'all breathe with each breath she emits
cnd unrest it wrests and rips at the seams
Of everything I thought I ever might've believed
The denial of seed is nothing I'd ever dreamed I
Have the cowardice and gall to achieve, I
Wish your mother had admonished my weakness
But I ain't even trying to fault her, I mean sh!t
cs a man, I should be honoured and geeked
ct the chance to be a father, to harbor a sweet gift
Your grandfather's like a god to me
Flawed, sure, but we're all to be
What he accomplished in fostering seed all in all inspired glee
cwe and esteem
cbove all it inspired me, so
Why'd I falter when you called to me?
Twice falter when you called to me?
The first time was a call
The second was a plea
Forgive me for ignoring the voice of my seed, Lord
But He sees all
cnd He sees I wasn't worthy to be yours
Probably seethes at my nerve and my weak heart
cnd I agree and I yearn He won't be hard
Because I see y'all
Y'all
Reside in your mother's irises
See, the glimmer in her eyes is your flyness
In the center of your mother's irises
I see the glimmer in her eyes:
Your flyness

Never seen your faces
Still your faces
Steal your place in me
So I steel my face to
See your faces
Still I pray and plead

cnd apologize
