[Produced by Tommy Black] [Verso 1] Your momma told me read the Book of Job They shoulda called it the Book of Soul I came into this hurtful Earth in perfect health Caught StevensJohnson syndrome when I was ten years old Internal and external fever, 80 Fatality rate at that time, aint that some shit Severe pink eye, my eyes swollen shut For like two or three months, its still bright as fuck And I even lost my lip skin Grew back darker than its original pigment Skin disfigured from boils and blisters Unidentifiable by my little sister Come to think of it, I couldve got a crazy check The shrink thought Id be traumatized, but Im alright My first years of Junior High School were not alright Them dimes wouldnt give me no time, no, not a nod I mean not even you, we eventually got cool But I was nobody, you was the hottest hottie in the school Or the world to me, not saying that cause Im your dude Im glad I got to watch the woman that you blossomed to Ironic we always had the same classes I copied off your work, and you aint always had The right answers but it worked, mama, thanks a lot Probably wouldnt have even graduated had you not Somewhere down the line, we became an item The love was in the air like this flight Im lighting The first few years was so exciting Got deeper in this rap and started pushing shit back My money got funny, you wanted to go on dates I had a Sounwave beat tape tryna beat Drake Couldve spent every minute with you but I had to get it For me and you, you sing too so you knew the business I know it was hard but you stayed down My fam had doubts, you told me you was proud I did some things, you did some things, always came back together We knew the only way to make it work was work together Seven whole years, seven whole years It was supposed to end with our grandkids Luckily for me Im used to being cut short But Im such a nice guy, why Lord? Why Lori? Whyd you have to take her from me? Guess you needed your angel face for all of heaven to see Your picture still on my mirror and its so scary I swear I still aint looked at your obituary So now Im so doped up I think Im flying I hope the spliff will never finish I guess the Mayans wasnt lying 2012 my world ended You used to say that I could see the future You was wrong, cause you was in it And I was just with you the day before You said you loved me, I said I loved you more And as much I wanna cower and bid the mic adieu And fall off a fucking tower tryna find you I gotta stay cuz I remember that day I looked you in the face and told you nothing can stop me Not even you Stick to the plan, Ill meet you at our spot If reincarnation is true and we dont get too lost Even if you forget me and everything you left behind I never lied, I love you in a place where theres no space and time I close my eyes and I can still hear you singing loud We never got to tell them who The Love Religion was about I aint finna stage a cry in this rhyme Signed Sincerely yours I live to let you Shine [Interldio] [Verso 2] Everything I love the most gets taken away My momma and music is next And if that happens before I turn 28 Then Im going out wit Kurt Cobain I still believe in God, we just aint never spoke Unless we talkin symbolically, then I might agree But if you really wanna look at it that way Then, hey man, God dont like me I refuse to believe that But whats acceptable is anythings possible but nobody special My ma took my TV, Clem took my radio Now Im on TV and on the radio Dont be dethroned by these systems of control Just keep your fingers crossed and get them locks off your soul Dont be dethroned by these systems of control Just keep your fingers crossed and get them locks off your soul Soul!
