Nothing like it use to be 
Strangers to the left 
With more on the right 
Neighbors for 5 years 
Nodded my head at them maybe twice 
Haven't seen my daughter in 3 nights 
We live in the same house 
What's the point of a dinner table anymore
It's the morning after a night I wish to forget 
One to many and to many to say which one was the one that did me in 
I'll spend the day trying drink away the pain 
Have a few zig zag smokes 
While cussing the sky 
The blame has to be laid 
Praise don't come without the heat
So quit being a bitch
Man didn't create corruption 
Corruption came from your heart
Found a pic of the 5 of us 
Made me smile remembering the days
Came from visiting what's his name in prison
Two hour drive to the new place in Georgia y'all moved to
Mom even had shoes on 
Rocking the reebok classics
Then I seen something different that wasn't there before
It took my smile 
Made dry eyes wet 
Started seeing the picture completely different 
Instead of a memory 
It becomes reality 
Out of the 5 of us 
I'm the only one left 
No calling mom or helping dad 
No older brothers to call upon 
From the youngest to the only 
Sitting lonely drinking to many 
When I start laughing out loud to the memories
