[00:03.346]Lost in emotion, Mama's youngest
[00:05.872]Tryna navigate life without my compass
[00:08.675]Some experience death and feel numbness

[00:25.865]And I realized in that instant
[00:28.656]Our last conversation, you was against it
[00:31.051]Told you I was going to Turks for Thanksgiving
[00:33.697]I heard what I wanted to hear, but didn't listen
[00:36.546]You said you told Gene that Bup needed forgiveness
[00:39.378]I see you went to DD's and stuffed both her fridges
[00:42.239]You even told Dad you wish y'all never splitted
[00:44.919]See you were checking boxes
[00:46.452]I was checking my mentions
[00:47.932]Saying you was tired, but not ready to go
[00:50.748]Basically was dying without letting me know
[00:53.505]I love you met Nige, hate that he won't remember you

[01:06.825]Precision
[01:07.824]While I'm reminiscing
[01:09.040]It all hits different, Ma, listen
[01:11.560]The birds don't sing, yeah
[01:13.715]The birds don't sing, they screech in pain, pain
[01:22.763]The birds don't sing (Oh-oh)
[01:24.923]The birds don't sing, they screech in pain
[01:28.686]Oh, they screech in pain
[01:34.070]The birds don't sing
[01:36.316]The birds don't sing, they screech in pain
[01:44.238]Your car was in the driveway
[01:45.907]I knew you were home
[01:47.261]By the third knock, a chill ran through my bones
[01:49.956]The way you missed Mama, I guess I shoulda known
[01:52.908]Chivalry ain't dead, you ain't let her go alone
[01:55.740]Found you in the kitchen, scriptures in the den
[01:58.620]Half written texts that you never got to send
[02:01.361]Combing through your dresser drawer, where do I begin?
[02:04.198]Post-it noted Bible quotes, were you preparing then?
[02:06.995]I can hear your voice now, I can feel your presence
[02:09.864]Asking, "Should I rap again?" You gave me your blessing
[02:12.587]The way you spelled it out, there's an L in every lesson
[02:15.230]"Boy, you owe it to the world
[02:16.622]Let your mess become your message"
[02:18.289]Shared you with my friends, the Pops they never had
[02:20.999]You lived for our fishing trips, damn, I had a dad
[02:23.977]Mine taught discipline, mine taught structure
[02:26.847]Mine didn't mind when he had to pull a double
[02:29.679]Mine worked overtime, smiled through the struggle
[02:32.304]'Cause mine wouldn't let us feel what he had to suffer
[02:35.067]See mine made sure he had every base covered
[02:37.720]So imagine his pain, finding base in the cupboard
[02:40.908]Birds don't sing if the words don't sting
[02:43.570]Your last few words in my ear still ring (Whoa)
[02:46.347]You told me that you loved me, it was all in your tone
[02:49.192]I love my two sons was the code to your phone, now you home (Oh-oh, ah-ah)
[02:52.520]Oh, the birds don't sing
[02:54.616]No, they don't

[03:29.225]The birds don't sing, they screech in pain
[03:33.137]They'll never come back again, no, no
[03:40.510]Remember those who lost their mothers and fathers
[03:46.829]And make sure that every single moment that you have with them
