Autumn leaves
November raining
Earshot, teardrops on my windowpane
It's been so long since I said your name
It's like you're a distant memory
I miss you endlessly
But twelve years might as well have been a century
I hope you found serenity
And God grants you clemency
This wasn't meant to be
We never knew about
Mental health issues
Or your suicidal tendencies
I was only 20, but still a child mentally
Mentally scarred
This shit affected me tremendously
It didn't seem that way then
But it seems that way now
You took the easy way out
You could've seen this play out
Now you'll never hold your grandson
He's got your son's blue eyes
I promise he's so handsome
How come you never said goodbye to the boys you raised?
I love you pop, I just can't accept the choice you made
I went through life thinking shit was all a breeze
But things change like the seasons
Autumn leaves
Autumn leaves, Autumn leaves
Autumn leaves, Autumn leaves
Autumn leaves
Things change like the seasons
Autumn Leaves
I went through life thinking shit was all a breeze
But things change like the seasons
Autumn leaves
Autumn leaves, Autumn leaves
Autumn leaves, Autumn leaves
Autumn leaves
Things change like the seasons
Autumn Leaves

Listen pop
You'd be so surprised
Eric's sober now
Shit he almost died
He's much older now
He shouldn't kid himself
That's why he's focused on his health
He's got a kid himself
Your father passed
I told Denise we couldn't make
Sent a gift to Bruce and David sorry but we couldn't fake it
Cause since you left we don't really speak as much
Or speak at all
To keep it real, we don't keep in touch
And mom is doing good
She's retired now
After 40 years shit'll finally quiet down
And Kelley tied her down
They're finally gonna tie the knot
And me I'm still rapping, striking while the iron's hot
Remember pop, when you bought me Pro Tools?
And told me never stop?
That's the greatest gift I ever got
No cap, I just thought that you should know that
The times they are a changing
If only I could go back
Until we meet again

Things change like the seasons
Autumn leaves
Autumn leaves, Autumn leaves
Autumn leaves, Autumn leaves
Things change like the seasons
Autumn leaves

I went through life thinking shit was all a breeze
But things change like the seasons
Autumn leaves
Autumn leaves, Autumn leaves
Autumn leaves, Autumn leaves
Autumn leaves
Things change like the seasons
Autumn Leaves
