Disconnected

Meanwhile, in Baltimore, Maryland, B-more shit
This is dedicated to all the outcasts and weirdo motherfuckers like me
Disconnect this shit

Disconnect like a broken bone
Disconnected, and I feel so alone
Disconnected like a unpaid phone
Disconnected, I just wanna go home, and I

Can't connect around here
Y'all not like me
I don't even know what normal look like
So it's difficult to be in my mind
I can't connect around here
Y'all not like me, and they said
"Walk towards the lights, young man"
But them lights is hard to see sometimes

This a true story you never heard before 'cause I never told it
Now walk with me through the streets of B-more (B-more)
Cherry Hill, to be exact where mixing the good with the bad
Equaled up to real facts

See, my papa was a rolling stone
I'm one of six different kids spread out in six different homes, oh my bad
My little sister's got the same mother
But I can't say the same for me and my other three brothers

Well, hello everybody, I'm Kajaun, I'm the oldest
Behind me is Kion, he doing 30, he the boldest
Next up is Jamal, he's the tallest college baller
Every time I see his face of spitting image of my father's
And right here is where my little sister's fell in line
Alicia and Adrianna, two young beautiful black women
With big hearts and great minds
And last but not least, Jabre's rounding out the timeline

I was the first and only child born to a teenage mom knows best
Hi mom, you're the only immediate family I have left
And I'm sorry I caused you stress
But I'm so thankful that your heart still beats in your chest
And you was still in high school when you had me
Raised by my grandparents 'cause they incarcerated daddy
And sadly, y'all never got married
But your love will forever be cemented since the day you had me, and I

Our Father, which art in Heaven
See, I've been prayed over by prophets, I was preached to my reverends
I was taught by teachers, I was loved by Lisa
I had sex on beaches, I got fresh on Easter

Got my high school diploma
I never broke a bone, never been inside a coma
I took some college credits, I got pay vacations
I done walk to get places, I've owned my own transportation

I wish I was perfect, but I'm accepting my flaws
I had condoms in my pockets, but I still hit it raw
I was a nerd before being a nerd was cool
I used to fake like I wasn't smart to not get teased at school
I had friends and family, but I still felt alone
The girls would say, "You're cool", but kept me in the friend zone
I got teased about my glasses, I got teased about my braces
They used to call me Steve Urkel, I still see they smiling faces

I've been fighting my whole life, and I barely broke even
I'm 46 years old with 46-year-old demons
Sometimes I lay awake at night, try to figure out the reasons
I keep getting stuck inside these rainy seasons, and I

Disconnect like a broken bone
Disconnected, and I feel so alone
Disconnected like a unpaid phone
Disconnected, I just wanna go home (I'ma get there)
