Lyrics

Little wayward son
Tell me how you been
What have you become
What is happening
I was acting dumb
I'm a stupid friend
You're the gentle boy
Why'd you end up dead
I can't hear the noise
When I lie in bed
Slip into the void
Should be me instead
Write my woes away
Words I never said
Debt I can't repay
Still I paid the debt
Wish you saw the day
Before you had left
I am not okay
How unfortunate
Not the only one
Hurt by all of this
It is not your fault
You were innocent
Little wayward little kid
One of many gifts
One of many twists
So mysterious
Sometimes secretive potential through the roof
There in vividness
He just had to look
Through the oculus
Harder said than done
When the punches hit
Life could break your bones
Crack your cartilage
No one hits your phone
Hit by loneliness
Everyone around
Always bettering
Feeling kind of stuck
Some relate to this
I know when I did
Little wayward kid
Strange and gentle as they get
Was there to help me through the mess
Good friends come only once in a lifetime
Life I need answers why'd you go and shorten
Up my brother's timeline
Friends come once in a lifetime
But a lifetime cut short
Is barely even giving any life time
Who inside their right mind
Could think that this is justified
It'd be nice to find my
Peace of mind in limelight
Everything in hindsight
Has led me to believe this
This is how we go about the conquering of demons
Odd man out just tryna break even
Falling down getting back up heated
Tribulations he was facing often times were so egregious
You couldn't walk a mile in his Sperry's or Adidas
1996 till the year he was cheated
Cheated out of life a fucked way to have to leave it
I'll remember every time that we felt we can't be defeated
We was reckless young n' dumb we did some drugs for stupid reasons
Wish it wasn't you if you'd had told me I'd believe it
But I was over distant in a way I really missed it
All them moments we was chillin' suddenly gone in an instant
Oh my god strange and gentle boy
With mental poise had made a point
All your choices carry with you when you cap out
Death don't care if you're blonde or you rap loud
Death don't care if you're Latino now or Black now
Drugs could make you pass out n' black out
Death don't care you're Asian or a woman
Death don't care because death's so crooked
All the drugs couldn't care about your faith in Brooklyn
Drugs n' death go hand in hand
That's DnD they both demand
A free release and reprimand
The life you lead the life of Sam
I write the scene to understand
What this might mean
But I still smoke and I still drink
And I provoke the thoughts I think
I'm on the brink
Of a deep dark descent
Strange gentle boy rest in paradise
