Authentic Tribute

[Brolik]

Authentic I'm livin' proof no lies I give you truth

It's an addiction alcohol abuse

I used to drink till' I would lose composure

Fifteen I handled a Jack Daniels with no cola

Now I'm twenty plus with an ulcer

Rehab didn't keep me clean didn't like who I was when I was sober

Fuck your AA meetings surgery is next If my ulcer starts bleedin'

I don't care that's what the people around me are seein'

I should be concerned about my health

But I'm still drinkin' I need help

Sometimes I don't be thinkin' depression gets to me

But it never fails O E was my dependency

No matter how much it burned I was able

To drink anybody under the table I've turned

Into the man my father is I've learned

How to handle my liquor straight no mixture

Don't be concerned I know what I'm doin'

Is it safe with all this alcohol my body's consumin'

A cold beer out the fridge there's nothin' more soothin'

No regrets this is the life I'm choosin'

[Yendi]

My pen, my rhymes, and my book

I'm now shook

We all see the truth

Painted out with the plagues

And now I'm stuck with the truth

[Brolik]

You might not know pain I don't show A hard shell

Not even Chapelle could make me laugh

Too sad I just found out Moms was sick

Anemic look at her weight she got thin

But she's beautiful look at her face my mother

I don't say it as much as I should but I love her

I pray every time I wake before I sleep

Me and Pops don't get along we just started to speak

Look at your son so weak you raised me to be tougher

But it's painful everyday watching your Mom suffer

I'll try but I don't know how long I can be strong

Doctor what's wrong when will she recover

I stood by her side at the hopsital bed

Grandma was there pages from the Bible she read

She said a prayer and applied blessin' oil on my head

Before I left gave Moms a kiss on her forehead then I fled

[Yendi]

My pen, my rhymes, and my book

I'm now shook

We all see the truth

Painted out with the plagues

And now I'm stuck with the truth

My pen, my rhymes, and my book

I'm now shook

We all see the truth

Painted out with the plagues

And now I'm stuck with the truth

[Brolik]

Nobody can understand I've tried to explain

But nobody understood my pain I've came

to my senses no more alcohol binges

Mom is still fightin' her sickness

I got a brother doin' twenty for a body he didn't kill

No evidence not enough money to appeal

And five points sittin' in a maximum jail

His so called friends don't visit don't send any mail

I lost my little cousin on his older brothers birthday

Dunk driver gettin' chased by the police

Ran through the red light I wish that was me on that bike

He was fifteen never had a chance to see life

That night changed the lives of our fam it brought us closer

And you still have three sons aunt Rosa Me Corey and Kevin

Eddie was an angel he had to return to heaven

All we do now is cry and reminisce

I wish that I could see him one more time

The funeral was his it should've been mine

[Yendi]

My pen, my rhymes, and my book

I'm now shook

We all see the truth

Painted out with the plagues

And now I'm stuck with the truth

My pen, my rhymes, and my book

I'm now shook

We all see the truth

Painted out with the plagues

And now I'm stuck with the truth
