I remember like
Yesterday
When
I was
On youtube
Scrolling thru some videos
And pops up GQ
Watching this couple
Thinking isn't that New New?
New perspective
New love
Wishing I had that too
I remember like
Yesterday
When I was just like you
Trying to figure out
What's the better route
Who I look up to
And When I have doubts
Music helps me
Cope and breakthrough
All the pain
Trust issues
Everything I've been thru
2015
Felt like a dream
Moved to LA
My niggas put me on
Some rapper
They called Nipsey
Driving past
Slauson Avenue
Damn near everyday
Not knowing it's impact
Lord why you do this to me
Its so hard for me
My reality
Just more causalities
I'm so fragile see
Got PTSD
Take a deep breath and just breathe
Cause what you meant to me knowing your in a better place than me
I'm tired of all the killing
Tired of always feeling
Like another statistic my skin is just all conflicted
Really I'm just addicted pussy money and weed
See Wayne told me that years ago and it never left me
Yeah I love my people and I love my niggas -that's true
But I also know my people need to do better too
Institutionalized from the pain it makes revenue
All the music and the movies even Instagram too
Man it's all on the news
But this shit never knew
Being black in America man some don't have a clue
Nipsey was trying to change perspectives but his past didn't care
Wouldn't let him go live his destiny that was prepared
Even people I grew up with
They look at me different
But I bet you every single one of em probably listen
They see that I got the vision
Ya feel this heat in this kitchen
You see I know that it's in you
The Marathon will Continue
