Eighteen (Linkus)

One day they gon know my worth
I'll write it down let me show my work
You'll never know your last day on earth
I keep it real til I'm in the dirt

I looked up to my cousin
He ain't nothing like the family
Always was his self
Never lied to be accepted

Style was unique
And his music was rebellious
Listened to from first to last
Dear diary the anthem

Black nail polish
With a red flannel shirt
Black ripped skinny jeans
And some vans that were merked'

He taught me how to skate
Then how to play drums
But he really loved guitar
Hear the passion when he strums

We would kick it in his room
Watching animation
Japanese cartoons
Out On channel 41

To me he's such a legend
He was like my big bruh
But I never got to tell him
How inspiring he was

One day they gon know my worth
I'll write it down let me show my work
You'll never know your last day on earth
I keep it real til I'm in the dirt

I ain't think I would see 18
I remember I was always dying in my dreams
Falling from the sky, Landing in the streets
I ain't think I would see 18

I don't think that I'll hit 30
I think I'll be gone by the time I'm 23
Prolly get shot by somewhere I shouldn't be
But I'm glad that i passed 18

If I died tomorrow
Then I think I did my best
Even Dropped a bunch of music
Just to get shit off my chest

My death wont be a mystery
I'm sewing up the threads
I don't fear nobody
Give my own death threats

One day they gon know my worth
I'll write it down let me show my work
You'll never know your last day on earth
I keep it real til I'm in the dirt
