May - Jordan Rakei

It was a dark night, when I heard the news

Rolled up my sleeves and walked

Like a landslide, overly abused

Yet told myself to call

Yes my mother, vaguely confused

She told me not to ball

Ball my eyes, ‘cause my eyes are red

With nothing left at all

So I gather, my composure

Head quickly for the door

But alarm bells ring, they ring louder now

Frequent the lady called

Called me her grandmother, I loved her so much more

Than nobody else, left on this earth

I’m in this state of awe

As we March through the madness

April was unclear

Suddenly it turned to sadness

Hopes turned into fears

And it was May, it was May, it was May, it was May

Guess it was a day, the day of reckoning

Six feet beneath us all

Yet we held on, held each other tight

Withstand this winter storm

‘Cause we’re here now, yes we’re here now

Moments like this are raw

It’s my family tree planting it’s roots stronger than before

As we March through the madness

April was unclear

Suddenly it turned to sadness

Hopes turned into fears

And it was May, it was May, it was May, it was May

You left

You left

Without a chance to say

Without a chance to say goodbye at all

A chance to say goodbye at all

As we March through the madness

April was unclear

Suddenly it turned to sadness

Hopes turned into fears

And it was May, it was May, it was May, it was May
