about

one of my childhood friends passed away in Jan of 2022. this song is not only dedicated 2 him but all my lost soldiers. rip kev.

lyrics

old soul trapped inside my 20 year old mind
some of my niggas fell victim to losing they lives
can’t go to funerals, i can’t hear these mama’s cries
i couldn’t do it for myself but i had to make this song cry
and the sun be in my eyes, light is shining like it’s hope to come
but i realized then and there that the sun don’t stop for no one
i been asking god if one day i could be an old one
despite the fears to come and years to yearn

i can’t even look in my niggas eyes, i’m so scared of losing em
attachment issues stemmed from niggas abusing aluminum
[heartbreaking beauty]
laying in his casket, got this basket full of heartaches
my nigga died, he was celebrating at his party
and niggas took my heart away
we used to wash cars by where mama had bought them hardaway's
back when we was scrounging penny's
scrubbing rims hoping this man would jus give us a 20
that was tears ago

and now that my peers is gone, i’m alone hoping that people find this song
so i can retire my mother, with others along
on my journey, i done see people get stretched out on a gurney
and the nigga who did it couldn’t even afford an attorney
my radio be breaking down all over my patience
and free all of my niggas who couldn’t get up out that station
i’m making, peace out of mayhem
i put the weed down but there’s still green up on my main stem

my nigga where the fuck was you when i was crying in the room
now i set fire pon the booth put your lighters to you tooth
uh
reminiscing on my dudes who couldn’t get a look at you
and see where you at cause u had been a slave to that truth
uh
calling for the loot and we was polluting all our youth
with trees that grown up from the root hoping dreams would become true
