| [00:11.520] |
I was 16 when the bell |
| [00:14.020] |
on the phone rings |
| [00:15.140] |
It's my homie from church an ex dope fiend |
| [00:17.940] |
A little older wore his |
| [00:19.500] |
heart on his shoulder |
| [00:20.810] |
A hiphop head so we |
| [00:22.500] |
connected on the totem |
| [00:23.620] |
Back then I'd kick verses |
| [00:25.180] |
and he'd be on the scrotum |
| [00:26.810] |
I wish he were around to |
| [00:28.300] |
hear these verses that I wrote Him |
| [00:29.990] |
Just to clear the air |
| [00:31.170] |
confusion and misquotings |
| [00:32.430] |
A good kid with black |
| [00:33.980] |
clouds following his motions |
| [00:35.540] |
Like hear ye hear ye |
| [00:37.540] |
but they don't hear me |
| [00:38.910] |
The headline I've read for |
| [00:40.470] |
the tenth time its eerie |
| [00:41.970] |
three dead including |
| [00:43.160] |
Sunday school teacher |
| [00:44.410] |
An ex dope fiend |
| [00:45.920] |
turned extroverted church leader |
| [00:47.970] |
Is this realmy hairs |
| [00:49.230] |
raised suddenly |
| [00:50.670] |
I'm drowning in emotion |
| [00:52.040] |
while shivers swim subtly |
| [00:53.420] |
I read on |
| [00:54.850] |
an affair that ends tragic |
| [00:56.660] |
Teachers pleads for life |
| [00:58.060] |
down the barrel of a magnum |
| [00:59.930] |
Then point blank shot |
| [01:01.110] |
dead together with his lover |
| [01:02.490] |
Before the lovers husband |
| [01:03.800] |
took his own life from him |
| [01:05.540] |
My eyes turned red |
| [01:06.660] |
welled up a watered gaze |
| [01:08.490] |
From hurt fear and let |
| [01:10.600] |
down in lots of ways |
| [01:11.850] |
God Why would you |
| [01:13.470] |
allow this if you save |
| [01:14.710] |
When evil lurked within |
| [01:15.830] |
why did my homie disobey |
| [01:17.460] |
We got one life is it ok to be afraid |
| [01:20.450] |
At least we got that option |
| [01:22.130] |
stomping through this maze |
| [01:24.830] |
Its ok to be afraid many |
| [01:26.590] |
don't have that option that's |
| [01:28.490] |
So we mourn today |
| [01:29.800] |
|
| [01:33.040] |
Here one day then gone away |
| [01:39.220] |
|
| [01:39.850] |
things will never be the same |
| [01:43.780] |
|
| [01:59.540] |
I remember her |
| [02:00.290] |
soft skin and her caress |
| [02:02.290] |
The mistakes that I made |
| [02:04.220] |
and her grace |
| [02:05.840] |
when I confessed |
| [02:07.090] |
Like politics me |
| [02:08.340] |
and her it was complex |
| [02:09.900] |
But all the stains |
| [02:10.840] |
would wash away |
| [02:11.650] |
each time our minds |
| [02:12.640] |
Connect |
| [02:13.270] |
We had history |
| [02:14.270] |
old school like a cassette |
| [02:15.270] |
Together we opened doors |
| [02:16.200] |
explored she knew me best |
| [02:17.950] |
I imagined us forever ever ever |
| [02:19.630] |
But now I wish I never met her |
| [02:22.570] |
Why won't this feeling letup |
| [02:24.000] |
I can't forget her |
| [02:25.250] |
staring at our empty bed |
| [02:26.620] |
The silence is screaming at me |
| [02:28.810] |
so I stay awake instead |
| [02:30.120] |
And in the sheets there's |
| [02:31.430] |
rooms for extra legs |
| [02:32.990] |
On my phone no SMS |
| [02:34.230] |
missed calls or messages |
| [02:35.930] |
From tying the knot |
| [02:37.600] |
o farewell goodbyes and |
| [02:39.410] |
My stomach twisted up in |
| [02:41.040] |
knots like Bear Grylls tied them |
| [02:43.160] |
The start and end it comes full sphere |
| [02:45.220] |
From the cradle to the grave |
| [02:46.720] |
I wish you were here |
| [02:48.210] |
Here one day t |
| [02:50.520] |
hen gone away |
| [02:51.830] |
|
| [02:53.210] |
things will never be the same |
| [02:57.450] |
|
| [03:11.490] |
It's been a little while |
| [03:12.990] |
since I seen your face |
| [03:14.990] |
getting kinda hard to move on |
| [03:17.280] |
But the pain is motivation |
| [03:18.910] |
|
| [03:19.560] |
though its frustrating you |
| [03:21.180] |
don't know what you have until it's gone |
| [03:24.740] |
