Young homie with the world up on his shoulders
Yea you know us
We was ridin through the city like they owe us
Hold up
Drivin slow shoutin' shorties on the beaches
Skippin outta class shit we don't need teachers
Bowie High phonin home they still couldn't reach us
I was gettin' A's while I'm studyin her features
Those were the days
We would barely make the grade
Had a job
We were barely gettin paid
Oo-kay
Ocean city wasn't pretty but we still spent the summer catchin' biddies
Smile gritty came back way back
Play that
On the same dreams
You know we played ball for years on the same team
I still think about it even when I day dream
God damn
I'll never forget
I was on my way to school down in Virginia when that phone came through
Wasn't you but I still knew that it was all bad news
So bad almost crashed on the avenue
I turned around made my way back to the hospital
It's too late
I guess you never appreciate what you got until t's gone
It's funny how I'm always writing you up on in my songs
They said that one-o-the-last-things you ever did my music
You laughed and said I'm stupid
That was always your influence
Then you turned and said you proud you always knew that I could do it
Man I miss you I wish you were after all these years
Not even 21 you had yet to build your story
Then that cancer came and hit without a warning
So young - old heart
Old schools…cold bars
We paint the picture o these boulevards
The new guard
Yea
That's why everything I do I dedicate to you
True
You remind me life is precious
Even when I lose direction
Because every memory left of you is still a blessin
Though I am still human
I stumble and I fall and I hit the wall
I know that I drink too much o that alcohol
I'm messed up
But you know what
Shit I still throw it up for you
You know I'm pouring a little liquor out right now
I miss you dude
Rest in Peace
