Lyrics

Greetings, yo, it's me, Mystic
And this song is for everybody who ever lost anybody
To a violent death, to the streets, to drugs, domestic violence
Who's gone through the process of the pain, the anger and then the peace
And unfortunately, you can't ever take all the pain away, but
Sometimes, you get farther than you thought
For real, believe me, this is for all the fallen angels
When your body hit the concrete, I couldn't help but scream
Blood flowing fluid, life is but a dream
'Til a bullet takes your last breath, where the angel slept
You were received comfortably and the heavens wept
Man, you threw me for a loop, had me questioning existence
Like, why I'm still living? And do angels give kisses?
'Cause sometimes, in the middle of the night
I can feel you by my side saying, "Let's ride"
So I hug myself a little stronger, bring the pain closer
Get mad at the world, then once again regain composure
Closure? Can't seem to find that these days
Seems like everywhere I look, another soldier's laid
My love, you looked so peaceful, wanted to give you two breaths
Pump five times on your chest to break the silence that you left
Instead, I paid respects, caressed your cold face whispered
"You know I'll always love you with amazing grace"
Fallen angels in the sky
Why must all our soldiers die?
I wanna know, I got to know
Fallen angels in the sky
Why must all our soldiers die?
I wanna know, I got to know
Sometimes, you visit in my dreams, I wake up in a sweat
Tryna catch my breath clutching on my breasts
Best believe you've not forgotten those sweet memories
Gem of a G guess them busters couldn't see (Murderers)
Lord forgive them for they know not what they take
Raised the stakes, twisted fate, tell me who gon' take the weight?
Patiently meditate, I sense your aura in my presence
Killed so savagely, still, it's beauty in your essence (I can feel you)
You weren't the last, just the first in a succession
Of the many fallen angels I have known, confession?
The pain never goes away, it only lessens
The questions never stop, just learn to live in the present
Resilient I got to be, so the next death don't break me
At peace within myself, so no regrets if they should take me
Fallen angels in the sky
Why must all our soldiers die?
I wanna know, I got to know
Fallen angels in the sky
Why must all our soldiers die?
I wanna know, I got to know
I say prayers for you, no matter what the denomination
When I step into a house of God, there's no hesitation
Drop softly to my knees under the flickers from the candles
Try to get a handle, then I speak to you
My love, I hope you're doing fine
Just another day 'round the way, and you're on my mind
Take a moment to relax, gradually fade to black
Give thanks and praises, and then I step back
And softly, I sway silently
I can hear you say goodbye to me
And it makes me smile, close my eyes and picture you
Pacified for the moment when I'm that close to you
True indeed, I wish you never left
Still, you remain in my cipher, it's all in the breath
Fallen angels in the sky
Why must all our soldiers die?
I wanna know, I got to know
Fallen angels in the sky
Why must all our soldiers die?
I wanna know, I got to know
Fallen angels in the sky
Why must all our soldiers die?
Being a woman is fulfilling the things
Your mother was too busy raising you to complete
Being a woman is taking all the pain and anguish you've ever felt
And translating it into beauty
Being a woman is knowing when you're broken
And finding the tools to put yourself together again
Being a woman is remembering how to love yourself
When the man you gave everything to forgets
