Jakob Widows - The Ghost of Jakob Marley

Walking down Main, through the dark, it's like three AM
Thinking things change, everything, except for me
I'm stuck spinning clockwise like a Merry-Go-Round
Seeing life pass on I'm stuck in the background
I'm Bokeh, cause I'm broken, Blurred out monochrome
Brain waves, take a Photo of my headspace
You can make amends, to this broken ass soul, that tries and tries again
Though in the end, I end up feeling less-than
Try to keep it all in focus, keeping Gramps from being homeless
Underrated all his work, underrated all his progress
Fifty plus years, putting in that grind, in case family calls
Still refereeing with that ball
Still working overtime with the weight of all these burdens
Now the rock to this family, carries us on his shoulders
Blood pumping through the hearts of everybody older
Still missing Grandma, wish we all could just hold her
Stayin' up all night, just to hear you call
Jakob Marley, the Ghost of Jakob Marley
Sayin' who you miss, and then you start to bawl
Jakob Marley, the Ghost of Jakob Marley
Say you miss your wife, and you loved her so dear
Jakob Marley, the Ghost of Jakob Marley
I say, listen closely, and you'll see that she's here
Jakob Marley, the Ghost of Jakob Marley
Cousins are real close now, Thomas, doing great
Derek keeps the optimism and that smile on his face
Manny's got his own life, thrive with pressure on his plate
But I love them all together and I hope they never change
Unless it's for the better, treat them all like my brothers
Wouldn't trade them for another, if they need me, got them covered
Got their backs through a rough life, or the rough nights
Cruise them with a car ride, hug them tight if they cry
Buff them up, shimmer bright, I wanna see them shine
Working hard on this music, wanna show them how to grind
So I show them with my rhymes, no need to be a loner
Letting go of all the pressure, don't let it be your choker
Grandma's honor got this weight beaming on my shoulders
Tryna care for everyone even if their souls are, bitter, colder
Love them while they're still here and pull a little closer
Even if they got a little Devil on their shoulders
Stayin' up all night, just to hear you call
Jakob Marley, the Ghost of Jakob Marley
Sayin' who you miss, and then you start to bawl
Jakob Marley, the Ghost of Jakob Marley
Say you miss your wife, and you loved her so dear
Jakob Marley, the Ghost of Jakob Marley
I say, listen closely, and you'll see that she's here
Jakob Marley, the Ghost of Jakob Marley
