[Lyric] Song to Benjamin (Mr. Milo (NOR))

[Intro]
(Why did) Why did you have to go away?
(Why did) Why did it have to be this way?

Benjamin [?]
Rest in Peace
This song [?]

[Verse 1]
I feel anger and frustration but
Just let me mention
That I don't want attention 'cause
I didn't even know him but I feel him anyway
Yo Benjamin, your friends called you Baloo
That's the only thing I knew about you
Before I took the mission to write this song
About your death, your tragedy
And all that negativity about that night
About that fight when you couldn't
Even run for your life
That soon was taken and believe me
When I say I'm not faking
No lie, that I want to cry
You were only fifteen with
So much to and so much to live
But now all can see what those
Motherfuckin' nazis did and
The police didn't do shit
They were just standing with statistics
Thought they had tactics
Cops dumb and blind
Say, if we only could rewind
Too late for that but we keep our faith
'cause you're with God
[Chorus]
(Why did) Why did you have to go away?
(Why did) Why did it have to be this way?
Still think about those days and the way you used to be
(Nobody) Nobody wanted you to go
(That's why) That's why I wanted you to know
That even though you're not around
Our love still grows

(Why did) Why did you have to go away?
(Why did) Why did it have to be this way?
Still think about those days and the way you used to be
(Nobody) Nobody wanted you to go
(That's why) That's why I wanted you to know
That even though you're not around
Our love still grows

[Verse 2]
Now we know that you're in heaven
Now we know that you're okay
And because you couldn't stay
We will pray
And keep on praying to our lord
Our heavenly father so he
Can take good care of you, Benny Baloo
From my point of view
We all loved you, especially your mama
But she'll be okay 'cause she knows
That you're with your papa up in the skies
No more lies
That sounds nice even though you paid your price
Of being different
But there's no word like different
'cause we are all the same with
A mother and a father and the right to live
No matter skin or language
Black white or yellow
That's the message in my mellow melody
Can't you see it's to you from me
Danny, Mikey, and Milo
Now you know but anyway
We'll always miss you
Please rest in peace
Now we say farewell on our knees
[Chorus]
(Why did) Why did you have to go away?
(Why did) Why did it have to be this way?
Still think about those days and the way you used to be
(Nobody) Nobody wanted you to go
(That's why) That's why I wanted you to know
That even though you're not around
Our love still grows

(Why did) Why did you have to go away?
(Why did) Why did it have to be this way?
Still think about those days and the way you used to be
(Nobody) Nobody wanted you to go
(That's why) That's why I wanted you to know
That even though you're not around
Our love still grows

Oh, we love you
Oh, yeah yeah

(Why did) Why did you have to go away?
(Why did) Why did it have to be this way?
Still think about those days and the way you used to be
(Nobody) Nobody wanted you to go
(That's why) That's why I wanted you to know
That even though you're not around
Our love still grows
(Why did) Why did you have to go away?
(Why did) Why did it have to be this way?
Still think about those days and the way you used to be
(Nobody) Nobody wanted you to go
(That's why) That's why I wanted you to know
That even though you're not around
Our love still grows
Our love still grows
