- Layton Greene Blame On Me 歌詞

- Mama getting high up in the kitchen
Daddy wasnt there, he was missing
Nobody was there to even listen
I kept all my problems and kept feelings hidden, yeah
And I put the blame on me
I put the blame on me
I put the blame on me
Only 10 years old
Im already numb, yeah my hearts getting cold
Saw my mama getting weaker, hurt me to my soul
The only man she loved, how could he do this to his girl
He put that pistol to her head
I swear he coulda shot her dead
Man that liquor made him evil
I swear that man aint had no reason
That shit just turned him to a demon, yeah
Fast forward a couple years
I done turned 12
Living life one hell to the next hell
I got cousins touching me inappropriately
And dont nobody believe me when I tell
When you learn that shit heals, aint no one to look up to
And the same people hurting you telling they love you
Before too long you start believing
That maybe youre the reason, yeah
Mama getting high up in the kitchen
Daddy wasnt there, he was missing
Nobody was there to even listen
I kept all my problems and kept feelings hidden, yeah
And I put the blame on me
I put the blame on me, yeah
I put the blame on me
Age 14 left East St. Louis
New drama but I really aint new to it
Hear em laughing at lunchtime and Im the joke
Black and white was too black for the white folks
I cant do nothing bout my face
Feeling all over the place
Over something I cant control
**** iswrong with these people?
Or is it something wrong with me though? Yeah
Age 16, lifes still mean
Mama fell hard, needed rescuing
She got a new man, he told her simply
She could stay with him long as she dont bring me
I guess she had to make a chose
Did what she had to do
Chose him over her own kid
I dont know what would make her do this
Had to be something I did, ooh
Mama getting high up in the kitchen (eh)
Daddy wasnt there, he was missing (eh)
Nobody was there to even listen (yeah, yeah)
I kept all my problems
And kept feelings hidden, yeah (ooh) yeah
And I put the blame on me (blame on me)
I put the blame on me (ooh) yeah
I put the blame on me (blame on me)
I was homeless till I turned 18
Started living with a man I was dating
Last thing on my mind was graduating
All about survival and money-making
Always seemed to escape my reality
Just tryna play the cards, goddamn me
Posted myself singing a song cause it was on my heart
When it went viral I was working in Walmart
I got a new start
Taking my pain, turning it into art
Turning bad times into hot sounds
For the first time where I belong
20 now, making moves, making money now
Rainy days hella sunny now
But every now and then I think about
Mama getting high up in the kitchen (eh)
Daddy wasnt there, he was missing (eh)
Nobody was there to even listen (yeah, yeah)
I kept all my problems
And kept feelings hidden, yeah (ooh) yeah
And I put the blame on me (blame on me)
I putthe blame on me (ooh) yeah
I put the blame on me (blame on me)
