Jordan Rakei - May Lyrics

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, no
So I gather, my composure
Head quickly for the door
And yet alarm bells ring, they ring louder now
Frequent the lady called
"Call me your 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
