Forsaken

Forsaken

Lyrics
...
**[Intro]**
Yeah…
Pullenboy Music
yeah...
They all turned their back when the storm came…
Forsaken again…
(Left in the rain…)

**[Hook]**
I was left in the rain, with the blood on my hands
Homies switched sides, now I’m dammin’ my plans
Mama keep prayin’, but the devil keep callin’
I hear footsteps behind me, I swear death keep walkin’
Left in the rain… nobody came
Screamin’ out your name, but you let me take the blame
Left in the rain… heart full of pain
If I die tonight, just carve “Forsaken” on my grave.

**[Verse 1]**
Cold concrete, tears mix with the drizzle
Another soldier gone, another name on the stencil
I gave you my last, you turned ghost like a phantom
Now I’m talkin’ to shadows, loadin’ clips in the random
Used to break bread, split the last dollar fifty
Now you postin’ on the ‘Gram, livin’ life all pretty
While I’m stuck in the trenches, dodgin’ indictments
Every night another raid, blue lights excitin’
I remember the days we was kids on the scooters
Swore on our lives we’d never turn into shooters
Look at me now—mirror got a stranger’s eyes
Trigger finger itchin’, soul already died

**[Hook]**
I was left in the rain, with the blood on my hands
Homies switched sides, now I’m dammin’ my plans
Mama keep prayin’, but the devil keep callin’
I hear footsteps behind me, I swear death keep walkin’
Left in the rain… nobody came
Screamin’ out your name, but you let me take the blame
Left in the rain… heart full of pain
If I die tonight, just carve “Forsaken” on my grave

**[Verse 2]**
Rosary on my neck, but the beads feel like chains
Every prayer I send up keep fallin’ like rain
I see my daughter’s face in the puddle reflection
Wonder if she’ll remember or grow up with rejection
They labeled me a monster, said I’m better off dead
But they never seen the nights I cried tears that was red
I took the fall solo, never dropped a name
While you copped a plea and put the dirt on my name
Now I’m walkin’ these alleys where the reaper reside
Loaded .45, tears I no longer hide
If I see you again, is it peace or it’s war?
Either way I’m ready—I ain’t knockin’ no more

**[Bridge]**
Tell my mama I tried… tell my babies I’m sorry
I was fightin’ these demons, but the night got too dark for me
If the heavens won’t take me, then let hell open wide
I was born in the gutter, guess that’s where I’ma die…

**[Hook]**
Left in the rain… nobody came
Echoes in the storm screamin’ my name
Left in the rain… soul full of stains
If you hear this song, just know I still feel the pain
(Left in the rain… forsaken again…)
