Lyrics
Right for right, wrong for wrong This is clearly not life's design Figure out quickly that nothing gets answered When you ask the universe why Life is a journey, but living's the worry To love is to lose your damn mind But living's a blessing so I am not stressing 'Cause some of my friends ain't survived That's the release, but in much bigger pieces, I'm living on limited time Like how do you look in the eyes of a friend and not cry when you know that they're dying? How do you feel 'bout yourself when you know that sometimes you had wished they were gone? Not because you didn't love 'em but just because you felt too weak to be strong You couldn't bear to see someone who prided themselves on the strength to feel weak You prove to your randomness, hold it for ransom, that life will not fade in your dreams You see that they're fighting and know that they're losing but still you make jokes and you laugh 'Cause you know despite all the sadness that you better get the good times while they last Now every new word that they speak you were already feeling like it's in the bag And when they all gone you just try to move on 'cause the memory's hurting too bad Grown up so much and I wonder who you'd've become if you stuck for a while Just know that I love you, good friend, ain't forget you, and when I remember I smile And I guess I'd say I'll see you soon But the truth is that I see you now Still talk to you like you're around And I guess I say you left too soon But the truth is that you never left 'Cause I never let myself forget An eye for an eye, the tooth for the tooth Will leave us all mumbling and blind So we stumble blind through depths of the dark Looking for something divine Life is a journey, to live is to suffer And I have been suffering through mine But living's a blessing so I ain't no stressing 'Cause some of my niggas ain't 'round He got no drama but his baby mama is still on my line and she crying I searched for the words to give her some comfort for her soul and spirit and mind I tell her that it'll be fine But deep down I know that I'm lying The family came took rings and his chains The bank took the house and the rights The only thing left was his child, and she had a smile in his eyes So much to the soul, when the grandmama kept her, she'd look at her sometimes and cry The very next day she cried And day after day she cried Then called baby mama and told her "I'm sorry, can't keep her no more, I have tried" No killer was captured, but I know he listening So I'd like to tell you in song The streets was a jungle, I pray that you made it, I hope that you righted your wrongs I hope that you learn, I hope that you changed so your mama won't know this pain So my homie's name will mean something more than a nigga got killed for a chain And I guess I'd say I'll see you soon But the truth is that I see you now Still talk to you like you're around And I guess I say you left too soon But the truth is that you never left 'Cause I never let myself forget
