about

This one is dedicated to a soul I knew as a father. He transitioned recently. It was hard to do this one. I didn't want to do this because I didn't want to believe it happened. I had to face my own faults. He was loved, but I didn't show it until it was too late, it's hard not to feel like "maybe if I had reached out", "I gotta be more conscious". I tucked this away and tried to bury it, but everyday I see another story just like it.

lyrics

So let me get this right
I just need some water wit it
I like it simplistic In the morning with my instrumental
With this shit im coming second fiddle to none
Wise man know he knows nothing at all and live wit a law cant have it all
We all take a loss
The more i gain the harder i fall
Unh I fear to love So to some im loveless
Unh The transition aint my favorite period We pray for safety from the same experience I pray we finish what we started
Unh I try stop myself from balling but the tears keep fallin
Its harder when you dont believe it U dont wana see it
I close my eyes and it watch it fade to black
And light my kush and then i chase the yack
Cant speak a word i just feel ya soul
Im on a road to all the times i know
Im driving slow when im on this 1
My og use to get me right for the low
And thats on everything My hightop and the lil flame
I used to hustle like i seen em for a pair of sneakers
He had put me on to ghost for my 1st time
The shit was like i heard my first rhyme ever I keep my smoke close every time i need you god
Note 1 for big cRest
YeaI still know you hear me
Even if you aint here
Im finna paint this mural for you The late bloom watch it wake at the glance of your face
I smoke my lucky second to last place This shit leaving a bad taste
Cuz i aint get to say i love you before you went away
Learn to leave in grace
One of the many lessons tasked upon me
Someday you gon have go through the laundry
He warned me
YeaI still know you hear me
Even if you aint here
