Sail Away

Hey Years ago, I met a man I said greetings, and I shook his hand But I never knew, that man would change my life We hung around for a couple days And we blazed, I met his wife And although they smiled I knew that something wasn't right One Sunday night, we watched a fight And we tossed a couple back, and we shared a doobie I smiled, and told my friend, "Goodnight" To my surprise, I opened my eyes I had to fight, to stop my anxious cries 'Cause that night, my old amigo took his life But still I pray today won't come to goodbyes But I guess, that's what this is As you sail away I pray, I see you all again It's got me feeling so lonesome, all the time But I guess, that's what this is 'Cause life takes away all of the people I call friends My homie Pino was stressed out, he wanted weed So he got his woman's son, and they left the house At like eleven, with their friends Loud shouts, shots rang out And I guess, that was the end 'Cause, they shot my friends I never seen my friends, again Maxed out, I scream and shout And sometimes, I sit around my house With my gun, I contemplate making it end No doubt, constantly I'm haunted by all the memories of my friends Each time I smile, my smile' pretend But still I pray, today won't come to goodbyes But I guess, that's what this is As you sail away I pray, I see you all again It's got me feeling so lonesome, all the time But I guess, that's what this is 'Cause, life takes away all of the people I call friends My little brother turned eighteen He grabbed a thirty-eight He had no idea, the spindle spun that way He tried to play that game, that he play', each day But when he played, that day, things ain't go his way There was a gunshot His sister glanced, and she saw a startled look fall into place And she's been broken, since that day That's why I pray I'm screaming, "Someone help us, please!" 'Cause, this pain I feel has got me weak 'Cause I'm praying, begging, "Jesus, please" 'Cause I'm dying, crawling on my knees I just miss my people Wish my people stayed on Earth, with me 'Cause, ever since all of my people left My soul's been incomplete But still, I pray today won't come to goodbyes But, I guess, that's what this is As you sail away I pray, I see you all again It's got me feeling so lonesome All the time But, I guess that's what this is 'Cause life takes away all of the people I call friends Lonesome, all the time But I guess, that's what this is 'Cause, life takes away all of the people I call friends Outlaws All of the people I call friends
