Lyrics for The Patch - Broken Home pt. 2
Sent to live with my grandma down south When my uncles was leaving And my grandfather hadâ justâ left for heaven Theyâ said and as every-ologist would certainlyâ note I had no strong male figure, right? But Lily Scott wasâabsolutelyânotâyour mail-order, room-service Typecast,âblack grandmother I wasâmoved in with her Temporarily, just until things were patched Till this was patched and till that was patched Until I became at 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 The patch that held Lily Scott who held me and like them four I became one more and I loved her from the absolute marrow of my bones And we was holdin' on I come from a broken home
