Reverence (Interlude)

Age of 15 a friend took his own damn life
Didn't want no pain used his father's gun stead of a knife
I can't imagine the pain or the motherfuckin' strife, that he went through
Left his twin brother behind
Demons behind his eyes no light of childhood we could find
Always stood up for me, recall his kind words still
Only 15 didn't have shit to his name for a will

Age of 15 bro died at the wheel of his car
Was doing favors for his pops but he ain't get that far
Past the trees of 'em backroads no seat belt
Left behind 3 siblings, Lord knows the heartbreak that it dealt
His mom and grandmother hug me at his grave to its side
Face pale casket open, tears on my face still slide
Only 15 bro had just learned bout em joy rides

Age of 15 bro murdered by his own dam brother
Schizophrenia made him kill him and their own damn mother
Knew him since we was jids, accepted me even though I'm not black
We grew up on Muhammad Ali, Malcolm lives on track
Would've been first out of his family going to college
Everyone knew he'd represent 'em well, accumulate knowledge
Only 15 too many of my brothers have fallen
