Yeah

Had to do this one

One time

Hello death it seems that we meet again

You keep taking friends that I'll never see again

I guess they gotta leave, but if we pretend

That they never left, well we gonna see them then

Never leave our hearts, never leave our thoughts

As time goes by don't even be forgot

Life goes on, though I wish that they was there

Shit like this aint never gonna seem fair, yeah

So can I have a moment of silence

For anyone who's gone from the coldness of violence

And I know you wanna see me go to college

But I'm sorry I don't think I'ma make it

Cause this world is mine for the takin'

So when I get famous they gonna know what your name is

And no one understand what the pain is

And how the blood runs number where my veins is

I'd like to thank you, cause you made me a man

Told me to never let it go so I'm taking a stand

Always in the crowd when I played in the band

Your grandson is everything I say that I am

And maybe I am, a little bit over my head

But I'm feelin' so alone tryna cope with your death

Holdin my breath, wishin' I had one more day

Wishin' you could be there when I graduate

Uh, and its sad to say that no one in this room understand me

I know you had to leave, so rest in please, but please can you watch over nanny?

Cause she loved you, and I love you

All the prayers I'm sayin' may bug you

But I'm just checkin in on what you up to, so how they treatin you up there

Two steppin for a cane, way too cool

Sleepin' at your house, walkin' me to school

Thought I was a fool when my grades start slippin'

When I played ball you was always in admission

You, loved me more than I've been loved before

And that's a type of thing that everyone ignores

But not me, you got me

Always and forever, poppy

Times goes by living without you

Hope you know, I've been thinking about you

And I know, I know, I know, I know that they took you from your home

But your in my heart, so I know that I'm never gonna be alone

Times goes by living without you

Hope you know, I've been thinking about you

And I know, I know, I know, I know that they took you from your home

But your in my heart, so I know that I'm never gonna be alone
