[Intro]

[Verse 1]
Look, I’m nineteen, and don’t even know how my Dad died
My Grandma sit and tell me stories ‘bout the last time she seen her son
I know she’s fucked up but she acts fine
Took her oldest son and left her with a mad mind, at a bad time
But fuck it all, I know he went to Heaven
Then, 2012 came, gave her other son 27
He’s 26, how the fuck is he supposed to do that sentence?
I know he pray like everyday asking God for forgiveness, hope that he forgive us
Even though, he never took from nobody, always a giver
Give a fuck if he’s a killer
He’s always gon’ be my n***a
Hate when people call him evil
‘Cause he ain’t even have that in him
Even though he fucked up and made mistakes, we had to let him
How the fuck was he gon’ learn, you play with fire, you get burned
He out of sight, he out of mind
So, now the family ain’t concerned
Nobody sending no letters, nobody sending no bread
I say prayers for him daily, I hope he holdin’ his head
They only gon’ miss you like crazy when they know that you’re dead
But, we ain’t trippin’ off the L’s because we hopeful instead
Yeah, hope you heard what I said
[Verse 2]
Yeah, look
I had to grow up in this bitch without no guidance
Never had love, ‘cause I was so used to the violence
Me and my sister used to sit and cry in silence
They used to party, like they ain’t know what the time is
Nobody woke us up for school, and said we should do our assignments
Be home alone, and have to worry where our Mom was
Swear to God, we was lost and ain’t know what to do
That’s when Child Protection came and took both of us from school
They ain’t even tell my Mama, she ain’t have no damn clue, but by the time she figured out, wasn’t the fuck could she do

[Outro]
But hope that it wasn’t true
What could the— could she do?
But just hope it wasn’t true
