Yo 2010, that's when I moved in up the street from him

An only child but all the while he always seemed to grin

I met him at scouts, before I knew it he then became a friend

And I don't know how I never recognized all his pain within

Like damn, was all my focus fucking fixed in on the bogus

Homie obviously hurting, how come I couldn't help but notice

I know that's how it goes, how we just split into different ways

But it's eating at my soul when I be thinking about the days

I could've said, "Hey" while in the hallway cause I still went to school with him

But I had my headphones in, I should've waved to show I'm cool with him

But who would've thought this quiet kid could have himself such a problem

Everybody probably knew but want to act like no one got 'em

But that day when he went home he'd never felt so alone

Screaming in his room, how could his suffering go unknown

Then a thought came across, he contemplated for a minute

Then he walked to his dad's closet, picked it up, then put one in it

Then he retreated to his room, laid back on his bed

Thinking about his doom, full of fear with tears shed

As he clutched the cold steel and he was sure about the bang

One bullet, he almost pulled it until he heard his phone rang

But it didn't end up that way. Dog, I should've reached out

Should've showed I had your back and maybe then I'd be at peace now

I know it's not my fault but it still tears me up inside

Maybe if I would've called, we would have you here alive

So I strive everyday to live life how you did it

You would smile at everybody, the kind of kindness that had no limit

I miss you bro, I'm broken, just know that I'm always thinking of you

And I wish I had a second so I could tell you dog, I love you
