King Iso - Apparent Absence lyrics
[King Iso - Apparent Absence lyrics]
Yeah, Iso for the kids
Yeah
This song will get the people talking
So everybody quiet, please settle down
It's apparent like a mom and dad
That this song like Pac needs to get around
Now think about a ghetto child whose
Mom and dad are never
Found so they get placed all
Day around to whoever now
And let's say it's all
Broken people around them
So their mirror a broken mirror soon
Is where they're headed wow like a chopper
I'll attempt to cover hella ground
Daycare and rent cost the same, check it out
So while you're training for a new job
Your baby is around people
With no home training let me stress it now
If one in five girls or one
In 20 boys gets assaulted
Sexually in America, that's hella wild
Not to mention if you do
The math it means that
There is somebody potentially around
Them that gets aroused
And due to strict nature that a parent has
If something happens to them
They'll be scared to go and tell 'em how
Somebody violated them, it could be family or
Still a baby unable to speak
An undeveloped child
And what will soon develop all
Distorted views on sex
On top of low self-esteem plus depression now
Even being withdrawn, suicide is where
It led him, wild
Is the picture starting to develop now?
Now picture every family's deep dark secrets
That everyone fakes to forget about
And picture how the family
Reunions have to feel
With your anxiety while you're
Faking hella smiles
Then picture the street code
Cause everybody's seen it
It don't matter if you're
Black, white, yellow, Brown
And the prisons don't even have
To let him out
Because of charges that you never
Filed on a pedophile
So many are hurt and take no action
The type of hurt that many
Don't come back from
So please be aware 'cause you
Can't tell what happens
To all our kids within a parent's absence
(And the kids say) Where was my
Mommy? Where was my dad?
(And the babies say) Where was my
Mommy? Where was my dad?
(Let the children say) Where was my
Mommy? Where was my dad?
(They were feeling like) Where were my
Parents? Oh I'm so sad
Ain't no telling the thoughts
Of an individual grown
When 90 percent of the life
The kid was alone
Where was your mom and daddy
Not getting along?
And dating a bunch of strangers
That enter your home
Embarrassing killers cause now your
Kid is exposed they wanna be like you so
Now they get to indulge
The little ones see you constantly
Pick up the phone
And you forgot to set the parental controls
The more I think about it
Yo my temperament grows
'Cause back then, informing
Us wasn't digital, Bro
The men and women that did
It were sickening yo
With no computer to sit behind
It was physical bro
Because it happened to me and
Then think so many before
These are bars for the
Deserving of imprisonment, Bro
And to think I was busy
Minding my business you know
Playing Sega Genesis, eating a cinnamon roll
Damn, now my sex addiction it grows
Love isn't connected to it, it wasn't close
Too many relationships have ended in float
So my drive was for intercourse and
I did it to cope
Riding 'round listening to Citizen Cope
About to burn a Penitentiary and
It was the most
Vivid description that I can feel in my soul
Cause it was more mental
How I'm really engulfed
I gotta sickening soul dark
It was lit up before
But now it's rigid and dull
I gotta dip it in gold
As an infant, was immature
Had to give up the ghost
I was robbed of my innocence
Pennies ripped from my coat
This is the most intrinsic 'cause
When you're ripping the flow
The tears I did when I wrote this
It was written in gold
To only be gotten by victims
You don't get it, You know
If you ain't been through
It, quit your insolence, Give 'em a poke
This is a dose, general So
So many are hurt and take no action
The type of hurt that many
Don't come back from
So please be aware 'cause you
Can't tell what happens
To all our kids within a parent's absence
(And the kids say) Where was my
Mommy? Where was my dad?
(And the babies say) Where was my
Mommy? Where was my dad?
(Let the children say) Where was my
Mommy? Where was my dad?
(They were feeling like) Where were my
Parents? Oh I'm so sad
Save the children, y'all
Save the children, y'all
Save the children, y'all
Save the children, y'all
Where was mommy? Where was my dad?
Where was mommy? Where was my dad?
Where was mommy? Where was my dad?
Where were my parents? Oh I'm so sad
Yeah
