[00:00.442]From the timeline where niggas don't die
[00:02.132]The skyline just takes back our fables
[00:04.308]Reporting to you, Live!
[00:06.014]See that Carrie miss kitchen table
[00:07.810]With my right hand placed on rifle
[00:09.674]Left hand just learned 'bout some fables
[00:11.530]To a child who don't yet understand
[00:13.107]I pray one day she able, from the table, well
[00:16.804]Doin' heroin still a crusade and what's the point?
[00:19.278]When they pop lil' boy where his fingers stick his palm, made it
[00:22.006]I seen it
[00:24.198]Shoulda took a route less scenic
[00:25.630]But when you don't see sun often
[00:26.912]Won't this something got you fiending, imma
[00:29.194](Live! Live! Live! Live! Live!)
[00:34.000]Live, from my momma's kitchen table
[00:35.818]Where she pulls heartbreak to her chest
[00:37.636]And folds up cards to keep legs stable
[00:39.343]Where the currency for meals is often the laugh that that's exchanged in
[00:43.062]I ain't seen you in a minute, so sorry
[00:44.921]Tears bring your frame
[00:46.138]I like different nothing missin'
[00:48.000]You ain't call, but we ain't trippin', come in
[00:50.400]Still remember the seatin', treat the home just like the heart
[00:55.305]Keep it warm and always beatin', it's a-
[00:57.675](Live! Live! Live! Live!)
[01:05.029]I'm not the one
[01:11.668]I'm not the one
[01:18.837]I'm not the one
[01:22.828]I'm not the one
[01:27.334](Live! Live! Live! Live!)
[01:28.522]Nothing more ironic than bottle popping when kin is breathing through a tube
[01:31.868]Almost chalked the function when I got the news
[01:34.496]How hypocritical would it be
[01:36.368]Feeling guilt 'bout the lack of connection and using that very reason to distance myself from blessings?
[01:43.136]So go shawty, uh, it's ya birthday
[01:45.896]Even on his worst days, giveth and he taketh
[01:49.440]Either way I gots to see it through
[01:51.128]Early memories of you, metal detectors
[01:54.499]Pops staring off into space 'cause his mental can test it
[01:57.922]Years later, barging in, said your sentence was lowered
[02:01.415]What should have been tears of joy seemed like an awkward moment
[02:05.094]What should have been constant love was just the same as all lust
[02:08.433]Saw you occasionally, the same amount as it was in jail
[02:11.808]So when I got that text message, as I sprayed my cologne
[02:15.356]What should have been tears of pain was just staring at phone
[02:18.978]Nobody knew the next step, I had to step up
[02:22.513]Funny how the pain of my lovin' had taught me lessons
[02:26.732]Damn, so I write this before my visit, that's if I can even visit
[02:31.153]It's different, usually the elders talk and I listen
[02:33.955]Won't be sure how to respond, to his lack of response
[02:37.693]Lack of that kitchen table slowly taking me away from mines
[02:39.883](I'm not the one)
[02:44.139]I'm not the one
[02:49.187]I'm not the one
[02:52.640](Live! Live! Live! Live! Live!)
[02:59.546]I'm not the one
[03:04.867]I'm not the one
[03:11.514]Oh, I'm not the one
[03:17.891]I'm not the one, yeah
