Man, they say that time is supposed to heal everything

Some things don't heal though

Yeah, man, I hate that I was dead right

But I said, fuck it, man, go live your life

Just know I'm praying for your kids and wife

Hope you can stomach all that pain when you sleep at night

I hate that I was there and damn, I hate to say it twice

I hope one day you understand I spared your life

No need to say too much, I pushed my problems to the side

Still got some bruises on my chest, but you got shit to hide

Within your mind, you know the shit you sniff is suicide

It's getting hard to cry, but tears fell down my eyes

You keep on lying to yourself, your mind's completely fried

I love your children like my own, I pray for Cass and Si

To see them live without they father has me mortified

How many more can die before you even try

You keep on getting high, boy, you bound to fly

This shit like looking at myself cause we see eye to eye

This shit like looking in a mirror, boy, I'm terrified

You keep on running to the demons, that's gon' hold you down

You look the worst you've ever looked and I can't fake a smile

It's not that I don't care about you, just can't have you round

And I can't let you compromise my peace, I'm different now

I guess you never hit rock bottom till you hit the ground

Act like you strong as fuck, you weak, I see you breaking down

Our mama crying here for weeks, boy, I still hear the sound

You always turn your back on everyone that helps you out

And then you turn around and act like we been acting foul

And if I'm real, I never wanted you back at the house

The more I think about this shit, I should've let you drown

You don't believe in shit, you say you probably faded now

I think it's time you held yourself to some account

You introduced a lifestyle of drugs and crashing out

Now she's deceased and you still live your life, you're straight Denial

Man, I hate that I was dead right

But I said, fuck it, man, go live your life

Just know I'm praying for your kids and wife

Hope you can stomach all that pain when you sleep at night

I hate that I was there and damn, I hate to say it twice

I hope one day you understand I spared your life

No need to say too much, I pushed my problems to the side

Still got some bruises on my chest, but you got shit to yuh

You know, it's hard watching somebody you grew up with turn into a stranger

Bro wasn't supposed to go out like that, but

We used to talk about dreams and shit, man

Now I'm really just praying bro makes it to tomorrow, you feel me

Fuck
