Please Don't Go

Playlist

Poetic, thoughtful, lyrical. I sound like me and try not to make comparisons to other artists though my influences span decades.

Hi, my name is Derrick Thompson aka Darkwind, Deebo Da Iceman, Black Ice, Bishop. There are strong currents of social and religous thoughts that run through my text and my hope is to be able to transfer some of that to the music. I only hope you can take some time out and enjoy. Easy now, -D

Lyrics

Please Don't Go!!
Written by Derrick Thompson
13 March 2010


Verse 1:

Don't wanna deal with the pain~ Enough has already came
My eyes sore and sleep's evasive due to chains
I know for certain, God is drawin' the curtains
I see you, not as you are now but were then
Hurtin' from nightmares, you'd be there to console me
Always right there, unafraid, Mama, you'd hold me
Now, you tired and scared and I'm well aware
As I kiss a bald head that was a forest of hair
All of the beautiful queen who used to be you
Is remote after what chemo put you through
Doc said leave hope, accept fate and prepare
And I swear, I coulda popped him in the face right there
But you know, even though I see you smile in the truth
You grip my hand and say the next month is all about you
I can't disagree knowin' I'd trade my life for yours
I'd give you years and more instead of tears and sores
While my soul cries "Please, Don't Go!!"

Verse 2:

Now, I'm pissed!! Where my pops at, like, my brothers
How them bustas don't see about a wife and mother
I packed ya bags, we left, my heart weak in my chest
Obsessed with a smile my soul can't forget
Signed us in at a hotel and prayed you'd rest
Knowin' in less than thirty days, I gotta lay you to rest
Tryina ignore the pain thinkin' of all we'll need
Instead of the decay from this chronic disease
Exhausted, between alert states and unconscious
You need help to make it to the toilet to vomit
I'm on it, bring you back to bed, pull up a chair
Watchin' you try to sleep through a livin' nightmare
And yeah, I'm still scared and in constant prayers
Aware of every minute God has given you here
Unfair, knowin' that I'd trade my life for yours
I'd give you years and more instead of tears and sores
While my soul cries "Please, Don't Go!!"

Verse 3:

Beautiful, you are the light behind stars
You are what make men head out after scars
Your life is a reward as a gift from God
We don't grow through easy times
But we do through hard
Your lessons seemed more
Meaningful after wars
Each chapter was summarized
In things you taught
I celebrate ya life and times on these chords
And meditate to make my attempts
Line up with yours
And of course, my own seeds know the truth of you
Of what sharing love in life might do to you
You approved, passed the hate to being great on ya own
Thus death only brought you closer to the throne
You not alone and never was, my life is better cause
My mama was the first to show these eyes what heaven was
And still, I know that I'd trade my life for yours
Give you years and more instead of tears and sores
While my soul cried "Please, Don't Go!!"
