G#m
(Birds don't, birds don't, birds don't, birds don't)

♫ Verse:
G#m
Lost in emotion, mama's youngest
G#m
Tryna navigate life without my compass
G#m
Some experience death and feel numbness
G#m
But not me, I felt it all and couldn't function
G#m
Seein' you that day
G#m
Tellin' you my plans but I was leavin' you that day
G#m
It was in God's hands, Ye was at Elon's waiting to get with me
G#m
On my way to Texas, that's when Virginia hit me
G#m
And I realized in that instant
G#m
Our last conversation, you was against it
G#m
Told you I was going to Turks for Thanksgiving
G#m
I heard what I wanted to hear but didn't listen
G#m
You said you told Gene that Bup needed forgiveness
G#m
I see you went to DD's and stuffed both her fridges
G#m
You even told Dad you wished y'all never splitted
G#m
See, you were checkin' boxes, I was checkin' my mentions
G#m
Sayin' you was tired but not ready to go
G#m
Basically was dying without letting me know
G#m
I loved you met Nige, hate that he won't remember you
G#m
Two things that break my heart is what Novembers do
G#m
And T follows you, now mind you
G#m
DD calls you, Gene finds you, was that your vision?
G#m
Precision, while I'm reminiscin'
G#m
It all hits different, Ma, listen

♫ Chorus:
G#m
The birds don't sing (Yeah)
G#m
The birds don't sing, they screech in pain, pain
G#m
The birds don't sing (Oh)
G#m
The birds don't sing, they screech in pain (Oh, they screech in pain)
G#m
The birds don't sing
G#m
The birds don't sing, they screech in pain

♫ Verse:
G#m
Your car was in the driveway, I knew you were home
G#m
By the third knock, a chill ran through my bones
G#m
The way you missed Mama, I guess I should've known
G#m
Chivalry ain't dead, you ain't let her go alone
G#m
Found you in the kitchen, scriptures in the den
G#m
Half written texts that you never got to send
G#m
Combin' through your dresser drawer, where do I begin?
G#m
Postin' noted Bible quotes, were you preparin' then?
G#m
I can hear your voice now, I can feel your presence
G#m
Askin' "Should I rap again ", you gave me your blessing
G#m
The way you spelled it out, there's an L in every lesson
G#m
"Boy, you owe it to the world, let your mess become your message"
G#m
Shared you with my friends, the Pops they never had
G#m
You lived for our fishin' trips, damn, I had a dad
G#m
Mine taught discipline, mine taught structure
G#m
Mine didn't mind when he had to pull a double
G#m
Mine worked overtime, smiled through the struggle
G#m
'Cause mine wouldn't let us feel what he had to suffer
G#m
See, mine made sure he had every base covered
G#m
So imagine his pain findin' base in the cupboard
G#m
Birds don't sing if the words don't sting
G#m
Your last few words in my ear still ring (Oh)
G#m
You told me that you loved me, it was all in your tone (Oh oh)

"I love my two sons" was the code to your phone, now you're home





♫ Chorus:
G#m
Oh, and the birds don't sing (No, they don't)
G#m
The birds don't sing, they screech in pain
G#m
(Don't the truth ruin it), pain (Now it feels different, when they doin' it)
G#m
The birds don't sing (No, they don't, and they won't)
G#m
The birds don't sing, they screech in pain
G#m
(They don't sing, they just screech in pain),
G#m
pain (It's a cycle, they do that shit over and over again)
G#m
(Oh) The birds don't sing
G#m
The birds don't sing, they screech in pain
G#m
(Oh the birds, they screech in pain, oh oh)
G#m
The birds don't sing
G#m
The birds don't sing, they screech in pain
G#m
(Oh no, they're comin' back again, oh no)

Remember those who lost their mothers and fathers
G#m
And make sure that every single moment that you have with them

You show them love
G#m
You show them love
