I swear I can’t shake the vision of me staring across the table at you
Questioning you, like I was your final interview
This is the song that was coming through your headphones
And that’s when I decided all them herbs are about to hear dial tones
If you ask me it all went down in a matter of a day or two
In the school yard, never even had the chance to tell you
You flashed me a gold eye – then died that night too
When you fell, I heard your voice in my ear and felt the tag on my back
But when I looked back you were too far away, how I felt that smack anyway?
I guess I suppose this is why you do anything and everything to ensure I don’t play
I’m not gonna act like I was hard, cause truth is I wasn’t that gully,
Just stuck on stupid in the yard, and for the booth back I snatched that bully

HOOK

I do know though, if he didn’t pull me down, it’d be you right here
When they opened your shirt, it was like magic that, that blood appear
You used to come through once a year
And for you I’d light a candle
They told me to let you go, but hell no,
I’m too hot to handle
I just might have been a lil viscous
But, you… straight up delicious
And yeah, I popped off just a little
It’s just fucked up he ran right down the middle
You were so calm as you lay in my arms
I felt your breaths, calm and steady
But you wouldn’t keep your eyes open for me,
So I assume nothing - just that you were just “ready”

HOOK

You didn’t have to break my heart though
You didn’t have to take me too
Yeah, I know it’s been a while but today I finally came through
Like a bitch, I dropped my token and ran
That’s this shit I can’t stand
I didn’t run like a bitch cause I was scared
Quite the opposite – only cause I cared
When them tears start – I feel the gun shoot through MY heart (instead)
In my words you never dead, you will live forever, your legacy shall never die
But know, you ain’t never gonna get me to see your side
It is for the knights that I ride
What would’ve been I already know
But are you really consistently gonna leave me here like a widow?
Well me and C, we smoked it, and Z, he provoked it – and D, well I choked on it
They still can’t destroy what’s left of me and you
They no wanna test that get lifted part two
