Call For My Name - Wrekonize

I’m a day late

I’m in jeopardy

I’m a namesake

I’m a memory

If I came straight would you remember me?

When the day breaks

Let it be

I can’t change who I am now

Couldn’t change who I was then

I been known to break the gates of faith down

I been known to 'scape the face and face kin

I been known by a few friends, small family

Bruised skin, through tragedy

My true youth been through a travesty

And made it happily to look back, be here

Welcome my people to Benjamin’s regress

Looking for regrets

Inside of a place that I hope I can egress

I’m trying to be best

Held up out here while I’m try’na de-stress

Looking for defects

Maybe I’ll find them before I go eject

Huh, my grandmother been through a hellish endeavor

Made it through weather

The many would not have been sure to do better

Her husband would hit her

Beat her until she could not see the lever

To pull up and sever

From everything that she had come to know ever

But she took my father and she took my unc'

Fled the cape from that fucking punk

Single mother working in them London hubs

Never begged, hustled for that lunch

Scrapped and scraping, never giving up

She gave life to Dad who gave life to me

Look what we’ve been on

And you may not remember me

Tomorrow when you wake up

I’ll just wait to see

If you call for my name

You may not remember me

Tomorrow when you wake up

I’ll just wait to see

If you call for my name

If you call for my name

They say my nan’s got memory loss

Body’s working better than her mind

When I call nowadays she barely talks

Sometimes I think she really knows it’s me

But then her tone of voice will change

And then she mumbles something only she

Could understand and try to frame

I was on long-distance, speaking through this pain

Swore that she was calling out my name

But when I asked her to repeat again

She was riding on a truly different train

I don’t know

When the mind’s not connected, what perspective do we know?

Is she trapped, cold, walking through the snow?

Is she on a beach with every soul that she’s ever known?

Or is she all alone?

I just can’t really find out through the phone

But my old won’t be known

So I sit and wonder if she’s here or no?

What a joke, this whole thing is simply blown

I just pace back and forth, try to go

Forward through the things I just can’t control

Huh, her body is here but her mind I can’t find

Huh, I just really wish that I could’ve gotten the time

For giving that queen her proper reply

We love you Valerie, goodbye

And you may not remember me

Tomorrow when you wake up

I’ll just wait to see

If you call for my name

You may not remember me

Tomorrow when you wake up

I’ll just wait to see

If you call for my name

If you call for my name
