We had a conversation that meant the world to me
I know you going thru it
I know you going thru, mentally
To many it’s a mystery
Your smile shows no injury
But that look in your eyes
Is as black as your ethnicity
I’m trynna make your misery
Nothing to you but history
N you smile so bright, Jesus blinded by your victory
Making Angels sing a symphony
They say “this bliss is yours to keep”

They say the eyes is the window
To yo soul
Being happy, that’s yo goal
But you trapped inside this black hole
Getting distant from everyone that you know
Letting these emotions take control
I feel for you, I be in the field for you, these feelings they real for you, yo I feel like
Ain’t nobody praying for you
So in this world you feel on your own
But I swear to god that you is not alone
That’s why I write this sonnet
If the pressure becomes too much for you to take
Use this as your escape
Rewind and just press play
I know you going thru it
I know you going thru it, mentally
To many it’s a mystery
Your smile shows no injury
But

Don’t you forget that I know you very well
Your eyes never lie to me, that’s why I can tell you
That no astronomical phenomenon could ever stop me
I’ll cross the galaxy, n hand you stars just for your liking
In fact I’ll give the whole universe, just know your worth
Cuz nothing can match your value with what we got on earth
I’m picking you over everything, it’s an easy thing to choose cuz
I love you, and I hope to god I don’t lose you
