| At my brother’s Jannaza
|
| Tears stained sunglassses
|
| A Salat with no bows
|
| Pallbearer carry you to the car now
|
| Chill day, Mosque on 96 and 3rd
|
| New York City way, me and J never left my side
|
| Refs like that pitcher with your pride
|
| Who look just like.
|
| Now the city looks lest bright
|
| Brooklyn looking less special
|
| Should’ve kept it the same way
|
| As when you were on this level
|
| You: work in progress from 40 projects: God bless
|
| An inspiration and a king
|
| They won’t know what I mean but this I’m bout to spring
|
| Protect it with every feather on the wings
|
| So even when it hurts, you’ll never feel a thing
|
| Said it’s a cold cold world
|
| Ain’t nobody wins except the government
|
| In the U.S.S.R
|
| Who you think you are?
|
| And you can fight it, but there’s no defense
|
| For the?
|
| Baby grab a jacket
|
| Let me clarify the chorus
|
| And what my cold warress
|
| Cause the complexity is enormous
|
| Using one of my greatest losses with eyes like faucets
|
| To reinforce every single word that I talk with
|
| Something about losing things, human beings
|
| That reduces things to their most elementary
|
| Find yourself where you never meant to be
|
| With the energy of memory
|
| That’s the soul force of what’s behind killing me
|
| Finding pleasure in the pains
|
| Finding desert in the rain
|
| Twisted: how this world can drive you masochistic
|
| Question if I’m over it
|
| Or if I’m numb because I’m closureless
|
| Or my closure’s that we all gotta go and shit
|
| Rendered emotionless but moving at the speed of running over it
|
| Still happy that I opened it
|
| In the studio writing these words, one after another
|
| In memorial of my brother
|
| As you listen to the album with
|
| Nothing on the cover
|
| I imagine that he hovers
|
| In the back of his chair
|
| Floating right there in the air
|
| Knodding his head to the music, I slightly lose it
|
| Ask why do I put myself through this
|
| Crack a smile, look up at the file
|
| Phones on the screen of me tryna tell you what I mean
|
| But I feel that it’s all lost, or maybe that it’s all gotta cross
|
| Happy with his dedicated song
|
| But now he’s all gone
|
| But he was never there, cause
|
| He was everywhere, nowhere and down here
|
| Maybe on that judgement day, rise up
|
| We’ll both open our eyes up, climb up
|
| Hoping God forgives us for our tendencies
|
| Wipes away our cool young histories
|
