Postpostpartum Lyrics

[Refrain: Stepa J. Groggs & Sample]
And you look around and they look just like, like you
(To you it's knee deep)
(To him, it's chin high)

(Fear is intertwined)
(But the cards that were dealt? Well, never mind)
(You gon need way more than some boots for all this)
You birthin' niggas
(Way more than a tool for all to fix so)
Nigga, you birthin' niggas
(So follow suit and them sins they gon follow you)
(You cast a way darker shade than your peers)
(And that's gon follow you)
(Further from the sun, so, from father to the son)
(Part of it is done, but it's hardly just begun)

[Verse 2: Ritchie with a T]
I'd rather burn at the stake than boil in a pot
But you gotta pull em from the roots when you pull the plug, uncle Lelo taught
It's been a blessing just to see you grow
But soon as you seen red
I should've seen red

Shit, you already know, tried every angle
Turned over every, turned every stone, shit, but one more to go
But please, it just turned to my season
All falls down to your feet
Nigga Geronimo
I had my arms to the sea but now they gotta close
[Refrain 2]
And you look around and they look just like, like you
(Soak it all in, you gotta go)
(You birthin' niggas)
Soak it all in, you gotta go (Nigga, you birthin' niggas)
I ain't trying to be God or Dr. Frank
Oh nah, no no

Genius Annotation

Postpostpartum is the 9th track off of Injury Reserves sophomore project, ‘By the Time I Get to Phoenix’

Postpartum means: a period after child birth. Postpostpartum would mean as one gets older, probably in reference to the period in life that the rest of the band finds themselves in. This song is about growing up, watching others grow up, and watching the others try and be you. As one becomes more themself the more others try and replicate.
