Lyrics

Now when your young death can make you aware of your mortality
Yet times we feel invicible, lose site of reality
Until it takes a loved one residing in our circle
It'll hurt you cuz you miss them
Once were close now you're distant
And it hurts just to know they could go at any instant
Gotta love them by the minute, now you realize this
Its sad it takes a loss to appreciate the gifts
So celebrate the occasion
Just breathing is amazing
To see the sun rise and set at a day's end
A chance to fix mistakes that we regret making
Find joy in the simple things, no time for complaining
The sun will shine, it cant always be raining
I know it hurts deep, but you must maintain
I see it in my homeboys terry and tom
They lost so many, yet they keep so strong
To lose a parent or a sibling and have the will to keep living
Takes so much strength, so I admire y'all
And one day hope to find out what inspires yall
Cuz im still mad askin why it happens at all
Some say that god takes them
And they lean on mythology
But I choose to believe that its divine lottery
I cant believe gods lookin down waitin to slaughter me
I cant live in fear
And I cant live here forever, so I treasure every moment

And its friendship that I value the most
That kinship, the ones we hold close
And deal with it the most of losin but keep tru
The memories blue cuz life keeps moving. (2x)

We came together like family like it was our first death
Unexpected, so quick, so sudden, the worst yet
Didnt get to know the girl ?? the first breath
Still we loved her like a sister, as a ?? first steps
Got the call out of town, so alone I first wept
Deep pain in the same place from where this verse crept
Never slept in that bed again, the memory was too tragic
Looked up and screamed goodbye
You wouldnt be present at the wake
In your casket, now you ask if things change since you left, not really
We still playin games, bsin, actin silly
See she dont talk to her and she dont like me
And will we work things out, thats not likely
I mean where will we start, do we mend friendships
Or let things fall apart, will we still be in touch
Honestly I don't know, but you're in my heart forever

And its friendship that I value the most
That kinship, the ones we hold close
And deal with it the most of losin but keep tru
The memories blue cuz life keeps moving. (3x)

And its friendship that I value the most
That kinship, the ones we hold close
And deal with it the most of losin but keep tru
?????????????????????????? blow a blunt while you cruisin
Of your friends that you use it? gotta love before you lose it
Stand strong when you do it, tough times live through it
Don't give into em, stay go pursuin, and doin what you doin
Cuz life keeps movin on
