lyrics

My father was a lonely boy
HIs daddy wasn't there for him
His siblings didn't know what to do
and after while Momma couldn't look after him

Kids always work it out
So he was finna work it out

Trauma was a puppet master
it kept a lot from
workin out

But he still learned to love
I am a lovechild
of late blooming

My childhood was a lonely one
My daddy wasn't there for me
My momma didn't know what to do
and after while I started floating free

Kids always work it out
So I was finna work it out

Trauma's been a puppet master
It kept a lot from workin out
workin out workin out workin out

But I still learned to love
Yes I am a black child of
Late bloomin
But I still learned to love
Yes I am a black child of
Late bloomin
But I still learned to love
Yes I am a black child of
Late bloomin
But I still learned to love
Yes I am a black child of
Late bloomin
But I still learned to love
Yes I am a black child of
Late bloom...
