Take The Picture
I’m driving down the boulevard of broken dreams
Swerving and crashing, blinded by the high beams
The cemetery been gleaming like the heavens lately
Trying to be a grown man but Lord knows I’m a baby
I get down on my knees, I let my tears screams
I let my shouts cry, I pray I’m in a daydream
I can’t stand the rain, all I feel is pain
I inscribe these lines in reminiscence of your obituary
Paint you a perfect picture like a Pictionary
Capture this image quick while my shutter speeds
A bandit stole your youth, now these streets bleed
Was only sixteen, now you six feet deep
A casket planted was the graves new seed
Families, friends and communities weep while you sleep
They say my homie gone, but I think they lying, I feel his energy
I know he lying in remedy, so pour this Remy in his memory
Flowers and a stone mirror your image
And photographs make your memory last
It’s awesome how life and death brought us closer
And how you motivated every graduating class
With every second trickling like the hour glass
I pray this quicksand slowly sinks the past
It’s awesome how your grandma forgave your assassin
She wore his mother’s shoes too, who would have imagined?
Let bygones be bygones, don’t dwell on the past
The lesson was to love your enemies, even the ones that blast
Life is like a soccer pitch, and heaven is the goal
Those hollow points hit your heart but never touched your soul
When life gives you lemon, make lemonade
Pour it up, drink the pain away
It is written that your sorrow will turn to joy in the Holy Scripture
Turn a negative film to a positive image, get the picture?
Rest in paradise soul brother
We'll see each other again
