Prodigal

by P Cyban

For the longest time I tried to interact
Intervene, interweave, I always had his back
But after 2 years, it feels too long
Run along, get along, no longer tag along
Gotta be strong, when you stand alone
You can’t be the king when there’s two on the throne
Grow a back bone, I said to myself,
Self aware, aware of self, I finally grow a pair.
Then I lean back, and attach a stare,
To the face of the man who can no longer care.
Due to abusive personality defects
And the way when I’m alone how I tend to reflect,
On the things that I’ve done for the both of us
And how I bent over backwards and broke my neck.
So what is it, that you’ll bring to the table
When will you realize I can no longer enable
You to be the person that you love to be
And that your current way of being will bring you to your knees.

I thought long ago that we would be best friends,
But it’s not what you wanted so I had to put an end
To all the bullshit I’d been spittin about the future
How we could move up north and have a studio together
‘Cause you found another, a blue skinned lover
You wanted to get in and said that you could stay above her
A ruse, disguised, hard, round, and blue.
She took you to the depths of what you could do to you.
But you still don’t realize, the power of her stare.
The paralyzing nature of her wide reaching glare.
I know if you did you’d disown her family
Patch old relations and get back with your family.
You’re young, I get it. You can make mistakes
And I have no doubt that you have what it takes.
But that’s right now, who knows about then,
When you take too long then you end up one of them.

You’ve had a lotta help so I don’t feel bad.
But it’s for the same reason that your parents feel sad.
Their about one fuck up from takin you out back
Face goes the palm, now you know, now your dead.
Let me put it this way, you know your way out
You know the ins and outs, of what life can’t be about.
So get it through your skull, grab the horns of the bull
Its time to take on life so it can take out its toll.
Trust me, its worth it, the road’s got a view,
And you can take lots of friends, Get a bus, get a crew.
Drive in to the future and see what you can do,
When you put em in the past, her family and your blue.
But don’t you worry, you can still see green,
We all get along when we know Mary Jane.
And one more thing, I’ve got one other.
I just wanna say that I love you my brother.
