Dark Knight Lyrics

Okay, okay, if you can't answer that then

What um

What

What did he mean to our family, What was his impact, What was his role for our family

Okay I can answer that

He was basically

Outside of Mama he was the head of the family

You know and once Mama died it was like

Well he was always the big man of the family

You can ask your Daddy about that

But yeah he was the

Everybody looked up to Elijah and respected Elijah everybody

So his role was the protector the family

That's what he basically did and he looked out for all of us

So yeah

How would you say he did so

Mmmmm

If you needed something he was there for you

He was cool

Yeah he the was cool

Everybody's cool Uncle and I was everybody's cool Auntie

I've been missing you

Lately I've been missing you

Yeah

I've been missing you

I've been missing you

Only thing that's missing now is you

Only thing that's missing now is you

I'm writing this on my iPhone

Remember road trips to Chicago

Backseat sleep with my eyes closed

You felt like an Idol

Man

We looked at you like an idol

But I'm not looking for sorrow

My memory bank is Wells Fargo

My Pops drove the Monte Carlo

State to state like cargo

Yeah

Like cargo

It's Summertime in Chicago

That's known for survival

But I was from Michigan

A different experience

So how would I know

A tough pill to swallow

See we arrived in the daytime

I knew once we cross the stateline

That we were bound to have a great time

And it was a great time

I'm still learning to make time

Yeah

Then there you go

This was a tall black man with a beard on his face

And some real long dreads and he had a little gray

But was cool as a fan yeah that's what my Pops say

He would show a lot of love I never seen him show hate

He was a tall black man with a beard on his face

And some real long dreads and he had a little gray

But was cool as a fan yeah that's what my Pops say

He would show a lot of love I never

It's some things I internalize

But other times I need to get it out so I verbalize a certain side

Sometimes I sit and I wonder why it still hurt inside

It's almost like you was leading the tribe

Felt like we needed more time

Guess I'm just speaking my mind

Maybe I'm seeking to find answers to questions that I was destined and eager to find

Searching the surface but I now I see that it's deeper to find

Yeah

Just never thought you would leave us behind

But then the nighttime came

This could've been a movie yeah it might seem strange

Headed to the movies just to watch Bruce Wayne

Dark Knight vibes but I found my way

I done found my

And I was only thirteen

Knew that this was something that I couldn't unsee

Rolling ten deep but was glued to the screen

Seen you as hero but really you were a king

But really you were

Yeah

Let me tell bout a man that I admire

Cause I know you made my Pops a better father

Let me tell bout a man that I admire

Cause I know you made my Pops a better father

Yeah

See this is Storytelling at its finest

Let me tell bout my uncle named Elijah

This is Storytelling at its finest

Let me tell bout my uncle named Elijah

And I've been missing you

I been missing you

And lately I've been missing you

I been missing you

Only thing thats missing now is you

Only thing thats missing now is you

I didn't want it to be

You know and in my eyes I know everybody is gonna have to die

But what he meant I never just

Thought that he would ever leave this Earth

Yeah that's what Uncle Elijah was

He was just the strength and the oldest

So I guess he just felt like you know, he had to be there for us

It's just his, It's through his life experience he would come to you and talk to you about stuff

He would just be mad mad mad at somebody

Mad

Whenever he was mad at somebody he would call me and talk about it

Like one of my brothers and sisters

He'll call me and talk to me about it

Or me and him would be right there together and he'd be like

When I see that

Im gon put my

And then he'd see them

And then he'd see them

And he'd go up to them and give them a hug and then he'd look back at me

And I couldn't do nothing but laugh
