You have empathy because you can Because you are strong, because you can stand against the storm Because others can rely on you You are empathetic because you have strength to spare I done thought about the past, future, present I wonder what is my focus If I write, then I write We had no one to behold us Beauty in the struggle, but our front oversaturated I seen brothers through the pain, but bullets overcompensating They put five in my brother and that chrome hit his neck Life stripped away, so we do what we do best Spin back for a homie, but we walk a path left unseen The best revenge is living out all of our dreams And I'm angry that they took him Away from this place I wish I could have seen him one more time I wish I could be there to greet his grave I wish I could pay my respects I wish I could see what was next But I can't see the future, nor change what happened I can only do my best, I'll do my best I done thought about the past, future, present, I know which one is my focus When I get on a big stage I know the name that I'm holding, Hold in my heart, I promise that we gon' be great Made it out the trenches, magic man is changin' his fate Work never end, and you know that I'll never stop Never stop till I make a change The cause is never lost Keep those names forever ingrained on my mind, in my soul The work never ends till I achieve all my goals And I'm angry that they took him Away from his home My mother seen him grow up, we was runnin' and playin' together I wish I could have seen him achieve all of his goals I wish I could have seen ten days in the future I wish I could have avoided this path I think about the bullets that divide us Subtract the brothers they took Now we left with the aftermath Now what do we do? Yeah, yeah, look Yeah, yeah, look Yeah, yeah, look Dealing with the aftermath of the bullet that was lent Devil's temptation touched his pride, so he upped it from his hip Aimed towards his sibling, we was linked by a common pain But that was invisible through the blood that already stained our hands So commonly in these streets, surviving till the next day We wasn't living nor alive, no, we was just counting the days Count the ways we could escape, maybe make a friend or two But don't get too attached, cause that next bullet could always hit you I got to Texas, made it out, now I'm back on my shit I learned of safety, learned of smiles, but I could never fit in I'm made for violence, made for action, product of my surroundings If I'm surrounded by the ops, the only thing that I'm counting is the casualties Casually I think of harm I can inflict Thinking of my brothers that I left And what it could have been Mama called me out, she says I'm stuck in the past I get angry and deny, she just shake her head and laugh Now I don't understand why I can't escape the hurt and all the fatigue I don't understand why I can't walk from the hurt and set my siblings free Let my siblings grow, let my siblings thrive Why do we live with the aftermath cuz someone had to take a life What do we do?
