Away
Dj Em D Lyrics

This morning had a special kinda fall tone
The morning felt different, a sign of change.

You know kind of weather make you wanna call home
The weather makes you feel homesick and want to reach out to family.

Retrace your steps to a time you wasn’t long gone
Thinking back to simpler times when things were easier.

Young, immature, vain/dumb you was so prone
Reflecting on past mistakes due to being young and foolish.

To do on your own, now you all alone
Feeling alone and exposed after trying to handle things alone.

But remember Daddy said He’d be right at the phone
Recalling someone who promised to be there, like a father figure.

Matter fact just say the word, He be right there along
Believing that help is available upon a simple request.

Then leave the past in the past like you did nothing wrong
Let go of past mistakes and hold on to hope for the future.

But let’s face it
However, acknowledging the reality of the situation.

It’s been a long while
It has been a long time since we connected.

I ain’t even sure He’ll recognize His child
Questioning whether the person will still be recognized by loved ones.

He probably found another
Thinking that the loved one may have moved on or forgotten about them.

Wait, do that mean I got a sis or brother
Wondering if any siblings have been born in the meantime.

It don’t matter
Realizing that any of this would not make a difference.

Well they probably so much easier to love
Feeling that other siblings must be more likable and loved than the singer.

Who I’m kidding I ain’t making the call
Admitting the inability to make that difficult call or reach out.

Still I just feel He might come through just like He said
Hoping that the father figure will still come through and offer help.

I don’t know to do with these thoughts in my head
Feeling overwhelmed with thoughts and emotions.

If I count the times, (that) we was aligned
If the times that speaker and their loved one were on the same page were counted.

Off the work that I did, it’s harder to find
It's difficult to feel proud of one's own work when loved ones are not present.

Like I’m working a bid, you suffered for mine
Feeling like they're serving a prison sentence and loved one suffered for them.

And you did it all as one of a kind
Recognizing that their loved one did so much for them as a unique individual.

Whatever kind
Regardless of who they are or what kind of person they are.

Ring ring, yea you dialing ‘em all
Referencing a phone call to heaven, contacting all those who have passed.

Every tongue and every colour yea you died for them all
Acknowledging that loved ones are accepting of all people and died for everyone.

Like a diamond in the rough
Loved one is a rare and valuable asset, yet unrecognized.

You was coming to us
Loved one is constantly helping and coming to the rescue.

And we acting like you/it wasn’t enough
Not acknowledging or appreciating the efforts put in, and taking it for granted.

But wasn’t it love
Through it all, the artist believes it was genuine love and care.

Oh No No No, Ole Le Le, Go Away!
Expressing a desire for negative thoughts and lies to go away.

AWAY!
Emphasizing the need for those negative thoughts to be gone.
