lirik lagu message in a bottle – sean j
[verse 1]
i know my memory’s shaky but i’ve been thinking lately
my childhood’s crazy, my neighborhood was kinda shady
but one man was willing to care for my safety and take me
all the way to school and back home on the daily
to put it plainly, you were the uncle that made me
the person i am today, you influenced me greatly
i visit the house that you built back in the 80’s
and dream of living there with my sons until i turn 80
but maybe, if you hadn’t touched those bottles of beer
i wouldn’t be dreaming and you’d still be sitting here
calling my name like “ay sean, get your ass over here”
take my hand and tell me i got nothing to fear
but we’re, born into what we calling the game of life
grow up on the streets and cope with the struggle and strife
scared of getting shot or getting stabbed by a knife
and by night, we might not get to come back to the wife
that’s right, everything you hear is not what we see
every second a mother’s worrying about where he could be
on the block with his homies or lying dead near the trees
even with our hands up, we aren’t really free
with all the riots being pictured on cnn
i pictured myself being there, even when
you’re the main separation between me and them
i hope i see you again but i know that this is the end
[hook]
[verse 2]
i see you smile at my college graduation
i give you my diploma in appreciation
i’m glad you inspired me throughout my education
cuz i learned how to face the trials and tribulations
like when you got arrested on the 4th of july
i saw you plead the 5th but the judge knew you lied
i couldn’t believe what i saw with my eyes
but i realized that you had too many duis
but why, you never believed in drinking for joy
you barely cracked open a cold one with the boys
even though you worked a job with minimum wage
you came home every night with minimal rage
was it your age or was it how much you were getting paid?
that’s when you told me you were visibly afraid
what was gonna happen next? overwhelmed by stress
drinking while no one’s watching so we couldn’t have guessed
it ain’t too late for lessons, despite your late confession
we could’ve gotten answers but you didn’t want the questions
so we grew apart and i should’ve had patience
‘cause on the next day, you died of liver complications
i’m taking the same path as you did and started drinking
my life is titanic and my ship just started sinking
this world is my iceberg and my body’s in water
i drink the last sip and leave my message in bottles
