It made me who I am I gotta take 'em where I started Remember when I used to leave the room and hear 'em laughing Living out a suitcase with no money I was starving People I grew up with would see me and walk right past me Now they beg for my for attention Post traumatic stress, I've seen some things I'll never mention Rap to vent all my depression, this my form of self expression Every time I'm in my hometown feel the pressure and the tension Still got ten toes down, but most my people in the sky Snakes smiling in my face, I see the evil in their eye If they knew how many died, they'd be thankful that we're still here living Little brother isn't blood but he's my spitting image Said that we'd be smiling, different cities pumping billies Crying happy tears, 'cos we really fucking did it Loyal as they come and have been from the beginning You had it harder since a kid, but you've never played the victim And trust me brother, that's what makes a winner I remember starving empty cupboards in the kitchen Struggling with addiction, dirty cups that we were sipping Mix Phenergan with the Rikodiene to block out all our feelings Mixing Vyvanse with speed trying to fight the fatigue Don't talk about it much just make it rhyme on a beat We were trap-house living wasn't much of a home Barely survived our teens, now you've got son of your own Said you're gonna break the cycle in my heart I never doubted you Don't say it to your face enough, I'm so fucking proud of you I'm sorry I don't visit much it's been a minute But it gives me hope and inspiration when I see you with him Drew died didn't think I'd live another year Washing Valium down with whiskey so my vision wasn't clear My brother in the dirt, had to face my biggest fear You didn't leave my side once, never judged all of the tears That we cried, they could probably fill the ocean Struggling with addiction, mania, psychosis But you always stayed solid, always stayed honest I've got your back until my last day brother that's a promise Didn't wanna tell you 'bout the times that I was suicidal It's like you knew somehow, you wouldn't leave my side It's weird to reflect on, life's different without Drew But without your support bro I'd be in the ground too Way too real, the fake could never understand Always something in the way, we had to find a better plan Make the best out our situation doing what we can Since you were sixteen years old brah I've seen you as a man When we lost Drew the way you took it inspired me Made me find strength, I couldn't even find sobriety And that weren't the only demon you were fighting with Your blood brother locked up in a prison, but in spite of it You always showed compassion to my situation A lot of them know Salty, but you know Hamish Wanted nothing in return except my love and respect So no matter what happens you're my brother 'til death One of a kind you're a different breed Partly blame myself every time you're sipping Rikodiene How could I blame you when I know half the shit you've seen Was 20 when I watched our brother die but you were in your teens Hurts to see you in a trap, but I know you've got a kid to feed And life in that city's bleak, the cost of living isn't cheap The profit flipping g's equals like a milli' streams I miss when life was simple but nostalgia's always bitter sweet Trying to make a million, I'm sorry for the distance But who am I to tell you change if I can't offer something different Even on my worst days you'd always come and visit So no matter who I cut off I still keep you in my visions I know my memories fucked, but I don't forget where I'm from F*ck it then, I guess I'll call this Letter To Tom, done
