I mean it's just crazy man

What time does

Everything can change so fast

I remember back in the days

Tagging on trains not worried bout a word any cat had to say

We was cooler than the 40z we was sipping on

Going through the same situation in a different home

Two young cats struggling and stressing out

A lot of anger inside us we had to let it out

So painting walls was the only way we settled down

I always made you laugh you never let me frown

I was on house arrest you always used to come and see me

Brought your black book and markers cause we loved graffiti

In fact I loved it so much I did some time for it

But every time I got out you was by my side homie

And you remember when you got so wasted

I cleaned the barf off your pants and I wiped it off of yo face

And a couple hours before, Alejandra kissed you on the mouth

Yee you remember that one time in Carmen's house

No worries and no curfew

No drama til we started our own crew

Laughing at the toys who couldn't hang with us

Driving to the train yard bumping J Dilla

We was all about that hip hop, graff life

Never will I forget where I came from or act like

I'm better than anyone else, you was my nigga

I just hope you remember yourself

And how we were back then despite the way that we turned out

Shit was rough, graff started getting burnt out

So we stayed lowkey and started making music

I bought a microphone, you showed me how to use it

And from there on we started Yours Truly

Along came the fame

Along came the groupies

And with times comes change it upsets me to say

Time set us on our separate ways

I had a plan but you wasn't with that

We had our differences then you dropped a diss track

Having haters that's something that I can live through

But what hurt me is that after the shit we been through

You stabbed me in the back for no reason at all

You were the last person I trusted now I see through them all

You was my friend, was a brother to me

Over some rap shit, you ain't even fucking with me

I loved you like a brother and I still do

And I'll never forget the shit that we've been through

Cause I know you and very few know the real you

Bullshit aside no homo man I miss you

And I forgive ya

And I forgive ya

Yeah I forgive ya

And I forgive ya

Fuck the bullshit

Fuck all the drama

Keep moving on [2x]

Gotta keep moving [2x]
