Yuh yuh

It's yaboi subhas

Back in the stud'

Y'know how we do

Mhm, yeah, yeah, yeah

Dad not around (that's my DNA)

Experience of the brown (that's my DNA)

Kings without a crown (that's my DNA)

But we won't stop, won't settle (let's go)

I wish that car straight up crashed and blew up in flames

When your son you left to carry your last name

Through cycles of the pain we products of the shame

But we are not the same, I'm taking trips down memory lane

I'm the - son of Prabhakar, but - my skin is darker (ah)

I'm free to conquer, no weapon formed shall prosper

When I'm done my name will be hanging from the rafters

Greatest story ever told, protagonist and author

Run fast, run faster

We chasing youth, chasing truth

And we chasing you

But the, gun fast, gun faster

So when the pain hits (it's du-du-du)

It's times two

(Ten years)

Ten years you stayed out of sight

As we fought fires that

Don't disappear with hindsight

Even when we flew to see you

When you tried to take your life

And when we got back

You did the same thing twice

I can't say shit to you

'Cos all you do is gaslight

The truth keloided

Because you never healed right

These are the thoughts

That keep me up at night

If I gave up on my own father

How can I fight the good fight?

Live my life in reverse

Ever since the day he left

The cause and effect

Said he had no regret for leavin'

The narcissist is always

The hero or victim

Never the villain

We just fulfillin' the feeling

But did he ever know his son

Would grow to be the greatest?

Or his daughter, he never listened to

Got fans across the nation?

No consolation, no concept

Of patience, constant probation

Mind, elevation over this

Concept of mayhem

And he married a woman

Stronger than all of us combined

Brings a, tear to my

Eye, as I write this rhyme

To be with you my mother

Gave up her job teaching the blind

But she can feel what I write

Like I put it in braille

Watched him OD on pills Momma

That ship has sailed

But the loan sharks smell blood

They follow the trail

I'm choking out my demons

Like my name Latrell

And when we get out this hell

Make sure you spree well

Life works in mysterious ways

I started hoping to find my Nirvana, my father

Reason why I turned my headphones louder

Why I'm a Hwa Chong Scholar

Taught me by never teaching me

Death before dishonour

Some things, some people

You just can't change

That's a hard lesson

Got you out of my brain

But our tie is bloodline

It goes deep in membranes

But I won't live my life in vain

Swear they remember my name

And now I perform, at so many

Stages and can inspire

A generation to hear

Hope a revelation is near

'Cos everytime I spit

Lacerations appear

It's fucked up, but without him

I wouldn't be here

[Outro]

(Yet, without him, I'm still here)

Yet without him, I'm still here (yeah)

Dad not around (that's my DNA)

Experience of the brown (that's my DNA)

Kings without a crown (that's my DNA)

But we won't stop, won't settle

I said, dad not around (that's my DNA)

Experience of the brown (that's my DNA)

Kings without a crown (that's my DNA)

But we don't stop, never settle
