I woke up on 12/20 to some smiles and gifts I swear to God my first thought was, "Where is my sis?" She's probably upstairs, now normally I wouldn't care But that day was my birthday and she wasn't there Something is weird, it's odd, I could feel in my bones My momma said she probably sleeping, I just left it alone My step pops and my brother left out for the game My dad sang me Happy Birthday, every year it's the same "Come help your sister out bed," Momma screaming my name "I can't wake her up for shit, Kar I think that she's dead" I really thought it was a joke, they trying to play with my head I even remember laughing bout it when I walked up the stairs They setting me up, they tripping, who they think that they kidding Till I seen my mother sitting in that hall by the kitchen Rocket up that second flight, I'm a man on a mission Her door open, seen my sister in the fetal position Now nothing was different, looked just exactly the same But she didn't budge an inch while I'm screaming her name I never touched a dead body till I reached for her shoulder And the second that I touched her I already it over Then I reached for her wrist, but her skin so cold It burned me up inside knowing I can't feel her soul Told my momma call the ambulance the phone's downstairs Cell was in my pocket, she ain't need to be right there I thought I made the right move till heard that I scream The type to shatter your reality, wake up those dreams Now I'll never understand why I made the call Had my mother call a stranger and explain it all And I know he couldn't comprehend what really was wrong Cause every time he'd try to speak she'd scream, "My baby is gone!" Every second like two decades, turned a boy to a man Instinctively turned protective took that phone out her hand "Hello sir, how you doing? Sorry this is her son She can't hold herself together, but my sister is gone" He told me, "Go into her room, feel a pulse in her wrist" I went straight into her room, but I couldn't do shit I couldn't save my baby sis back when she was alive So how the f*ck I'm supposed to save her after she already died I don't think I'll ever know, just know I ain't try I ain't even see that note that she left by her side I think I was in a daze when my phone just buzzed My nigga B, same birthday, trying go to the club He just came from a funeral, his Unc just died And I couldn't say hello, I just picked up and cried For a second, let my mind lapse, said I'd call him right back Went and found my mother, then I sat down and I hugged her Response team came in, directed them where to go Quickly came back, head down, shook his head no My momma screaming, jumping in his arms, bring her back Please, please, please, can you her bring back And when he calmly said no, well then her mental snapped Always prepared for worst, she wasn't prepared that She wasn't ready for nothing that the detective asked And when she said she'd kill herself there was no coming back See when you make a threat they gotta that serious So they strapped her to a stretcher, said she was delirious Then they took her the hospital but I couldn't go Cause now I'm man of the house, but I don't live here anymore It was hours of them questions till I finally grasped The realization that I never even up called up my dad I just sat there in silence like I'm talking to strangers "Naiyah's dead" and he said to me, "Why ain't you save her" Then that pride kicked in, he couldn't cry on the phone Said he'd call me right back then he left me alone From a boy to a man to a boy that day Cause I just wanna hear my dad say, "It's gonna be OK" Next call to my stepdad to break the news I had to tell him 3 times, he was so confused Told him go to the hospital and go get mom He said, "OK but where's your sister," I said, "Darryl, she's gone" And I had to tell my baby and I had to tell his mother And I told my Uncle Kevin and he told me that he's coming And he's crying the phone before he left from Pennsylvania Another 5 hours would pass while I'm sitting with these strangers So I called my homie Marcus, he called his brother Maurice And we prayed up on that phone for God to please let her soul rest in peace They wouldn't let my mom come home until they got my sister And they wouldn't let me see her even though how much I missed her I spent all day home till they carried her out Then seen my family come home, didn't feel our like house And my brother tries to hide it but he's hurting for real Cause he's built how I'm built, he don't share what he feel So grabbed him and Steph and I hollered at B Told him that I had to go, meet him at Pusha T's Jenna Hide didn't know me yet me showed me that love Told me, "Dreams mean she's in Heaven," then she gave me a hug Probably leaving out some names, V-Man gave me that dap Said he's sorry for what happened, he ain't know me like that But I still felt the love that I saw in his eyes I seen the big homie Dwight, man what a surprise You know Quis held me down, that's my nigga for life I know I don't see y'all enough, I'm gonna make that right And f*ck every single person who was wrong that night "Like how the f*ck he at club?" You don't live my life I just sat up in momma's house nine hours that day Explaining my sister's life story while her body decay Now you wanna judge me cause I spent two hours away But did it matter going home, that I cried the whole way Sister I miss you, I love you, so does our little brother You don't have be my angel, be an angel for mother When you get a little time go and check on your Dads Cause their pride's like my pride, they won't show that they sad I don't know how to end this but I won't say goodbye I'll just wait for your hugs when I walk to that sky I love you
