Lyrics Ortencia's Interlude - Shyboii Guero

Long Beach, California
The City by the Sea
A suitcase filled with dreams of a better life
And you found yourself 1500 miles away from home
They say God gives his hardest battles to his toughest soldiers right?
All the fighting you done swear you the strongest person I know
I remember seeing the tears fall from your eyes
Black and blue
You was working sunrise to sunset
Shit you even picked up a night shift just to make sure your son, set
I used to wonder if Pops ever put down the bottle
Would we have the family you always dreamed of?
Real life
Now your son done grown up with bottled emotions
Ain't it ironic?
They gon' judge my choices 'cause they don't know my reasons
Everybody comes and goes but you stayed
Thank you for being the difference in my world
I know I hide behind the tears of clown
Guess I've shy'd away from it for so long
It's crazy though
Through all the bullshit you somehow always found
A way to make our house a home
I love you
