[00:00.28]Birds don't birds don't birds don't birds don't
[00:03.70]Lost in emotion Mama's youngest
[00:06.20]Tryna navigate life without my compass
[00:09.00]Some experience death and feel numbness
[00:11.73]But not me I felt it all and couldn't function
[00:14.46]Seeing you that day
[00:15.79]Telling you my plans but I was leaving you that day
[00:18.39]It was in God's hands
[00:20.02]Ye was at Elon's waiting to get wit' me
[00:22.81]On my way to Texas that's when Virginia hit me
[00:26.18]And I realized in that instant
[00:28.92]Our last conversation you was against it
[00:31.32]Told you I was going to Turks for Thanksgiving
[00:34.02]I heard what I wanted to hear but didn't listen
[00:36.82]You said you told Gene that Bup needed forgiveness
[00:39.58]I see you went to DD's and stuffed both her fridges
[00:42.37]You even told Dad you wish y'all never splitted
[00:45.15]See you were checking boxes
[00:46.54]I was checking my mentions
[00:48.22]Saying you was tired but not ready to go
[00:50.90]Basically was dying without letting me know
[00:53.65]I love you met Nige hate that he won't remember you
[00:56.64]Two things that break my heart is what Novembers do
[00:59.68]And T follows you now mind you
[01:02.76]DD calls you Gene finds you
[01:05.41]Was that your vision?
[01:07.10]Precision
[01:08.14]While I'm reminiscing
[01:09.30]It all hits different Ma listen
[01:11.83]The birds don't sing yeah

[01:36.66]The birds don't sing they screech in pain
[01:44.60]Your car was in the driveway
[01:46.19]I knew you were home
[01:47.57]By the third knock a chill ran through my bones
[01:50.23]The way you missed Mama I guess I shoulda known
[01:53.03]Chivalry ain't dead you ain't let her go alone
[01:55.92]Found you in the kitchen scriptures in the den
[01:58.86]Half written texts that you never got to send
[02:01.55]Combing through your dresser drawer where do I begin?
[02:04.36]Post-it noted Bible quotes were you preparing then?
[02:07.24]I can hear your voice now I can feel your presence
[02:10.08]Asking "Should I rap again?" You gave me your blessing
[02:12.85]The way you spelled it out there's an L in every lesson
[02:15.50]"Boy you owe it to the world
[02:16.92]Let your mess become your message"
[02:18.59]Shared you with my friends the Pops they never had
[02:21.23]You lived for our fishing trips damn I had a dad
[02:24.13]Mine taught discipline mine taught structure
[02:27.02]Mine didn't mind when he had to pull a double
[02:29.81]Mine worked overtime smiled through the struggle
[02:32.55]'Cause mine wouldn't let us feel what he had to suffer
[02:35.29]See mine made sure he had every base covered
[02:38.23]So imagine his pain finding base in the cupboard
[02:41.12]Birds don't sing if the words don't sting
[02:43.82]Your last few words in my ear still ring
