FLAME
Goodbye
V.1
They just shot my cousin fam, right here in front of my face
Two in his back and one in his face, he's still bleeding
Ah! wake up cuz, breathe homie, breathe
This ain't the time for you to leave, homie please
I called the police, they ain't here yet
He's laying here helpless, his shirt is real wet
I never thought that I would see this day
My lil cousin will leave this way, he was only 18
He had dreams of leaving the game
Leaving the 'cain alone, he was seeking to change
He just wanted to stack bread
Buy his moms a Benz and baby sister a brand new bed
Please tell me God'll let him in, he had a hard life
Tell me God'll forgive him for his sin
Tell me God got his angel back and that he got his wings
And he ain't gotta deal with no more pain
My cousin had a good heart
I know God knew that my peeps was a good dude
Tell me, Flame, it'll be okay if we just pray
And I'll see his face again one day
My cousin wasn't perfect, nobody is
I know he fulfilled his purpose, we all God's kids
He left me here to live in the sky
I don't wanna say bye, why I gotta say...
V.2
I know it's real hard to say bye, see I can't answer why
But I know that we don't live in the sky
And I know that we don't get wings
God doesn't get angels back, in fact we human beings
See, God can't let us in
And He won't let us in heaven unless we have His perfection
Yeah he might of had a hard life
But if you not in a non-stop relationship with Christ
That changes the way that you act and think
And putting off the old man as he's becoming extinct
Then you can't think that you and God are cool
It's written in the Bible dude, we can't break the rules
And nobody has a good heart in God's eyes
Nobody's good enough, His standard's too high
Ain't no hope if you die in your sin
I don't know if you'll see him again, it all depends

V.3
I thought that God was a God of love
This is feeling like hate
He allowed this to happen, you can't say this a mistake
How can a God full of mercy and grace
Let a kid 18, catch a slug in the face
I know it's hard to see God's love at a time like this
To see your little cuz die like this
Remember this the same God who allows a life to be taken will awake him
But Christ would've had to have been that man's Lord and Savior
In order to be with the Lord who made us
But the questions ain't, why did he die in the game?
You let his death be in vain if you die the same
I'm tired Flame, because the pain is deep
I've been trying for years for the Lord to change me
I'm angry, can I go where it's good at?
I always thought I'd die right here, where the hood at
