| Driftin' away and depress all within listening range
|
| Nah, but for real, I got so much shit on my mind
|
| From fake motherfuckers to my future, I’m trying to get in line
|
| And doing hip hop in this life and time
|
| Ain’t all nice and fine
|
| At times I feel like my whole life’s a rhyme
|
| Full of punchlines and jokes
|
| Fuck-ups and punch-ins
|
| It’s like I just can’t get shit right
|
| The first time or somethin'
|
| When no one knows your name
|
| Your vinyl’s still in stores
|
| Once you get a little light
|
| They’re arguing over who feels it more
|
| We got sixteen-year-old net-heads buying garbage
|
| Wanting to keep you for their personal private artist
|
| We don’t do shit for the clubs
|
| As far as 45's go, RJ’s the archaeologist, diggin' ‘em up
|
| And I’m the saint sent
|
| To vinyl when it gets set to bash
|
| In this for life, until my final mic check is cashed
|
| Yo, I can’t fully become my mother’s guiding light
|
| Till my dad returns to tell me what the other side is like
|
| I keep the things you taught trapped in mind
|
| I know you cared, even though you weren’t here half the time
|
| But who am I to blame, I’d probably do the same in your shoes
|
| I never held that against you, complained or assumed
|
| You never went through what I’m living
|
| Hell, who am I kidding?
|
| Depression is practically part of family tradition
|
| So I keep the time we shared close
|
| It sucks to lose
|
| It also sucks we had to share the month of June
|
| I would’ve shared eternal time before I left
|
| Each month I celebrate my birth
|
| I’m reminded of your death |
