It's been a tough year, god is testing strength and my patience
Time is of the essence but it's more than often wasted
Sitting and complaining, wishing and waiting
For your dreams to come true, that shit I always hated
Cause the work reflects hustle, flow is dedication
Grind is building muscle just to get to better places
My heads a little f*cked up, caught up in a makeshift
Bubble kinda barrier, trying to undertake this
Role of a lifetime in a play that I created
A musical endeavour that some way is demonstrating
All the power that you hold, the voice of a legend
Time to take control cause this voice is a blessing
A choice and I'm guessing that you'll never understand
When you get the chance to speak, reach out to many fans
A connection in the least but related to the most
From the father to the son and Holy Ghost
I hope you know
I hope you know
It's been a tough year, already lost my best friend
He was only 28, the best and nothing less than
A champion and hero
A brother and a son, cousin, nephew and a husband
Heavy on my mind, every day I wake up
A prayer for your family, wishing that I could make up
The time that we lost, and the plans that we made
To connect and reconnect, the time we spent away
To build families, but I was proud of you bro
To witness all of your power and growth, I say it loud so you know
Pushed me to be better, more than my music
A presence in my life, but it's got a bit confusing
It hasn't been the same so I keeping on looking back
Reminisce about relations in the past
So when I get lost and stray from the path
I look to the sky for your smile and just laugh
It's been a dark road, ever since you left
Try to find a purpose, with every breath
So I reflect and I got to see your mom
God damn, that woman is strong
I knew it all along but I never could have guessed it
You were loved and the best, no question
In my prayers, umma praise the man you've become
A brother and friend ever since day one
I hope you know
I hope you know
I hope you know
