Boy Wonder (For Hunter, My Brother)

Yep, look

I truly miss my big brother
And the times in my mind, I can't seem to cover
I cover up what I feel in my gut, but
Day after another, I still seem to suffer

And my mother, I know she can't recover
From the joy of a boy, we'll never forget you, Hunter
But now I'm under a pressure you can't measure
To find pleasure, in hard times, and bad weather

And so I rhyme all the time to find
A voice of rejoice and a peace of mind
A daily grind just to put it behind me
And smoking tree, just to let me mind free

I be, fresh as hell as I work at the hotel
Graveyard diggin shift, wish I could get out of it
But I commit myself to hard work
And smirk, knowing that I will grow out of the dirt

I'm mentally and physically immune to gravity
And eventually, I will be in the galaxy
Just look at me, I'm davishing and ravishing and lavishing
Know what I mean, I'm a clean king without a crown

Space bound, speed of sound
Off the ground, to be found
Tied down in this town
Don't make it out I'm bound to drown

And it's not for myself, or for wealth, nothing else
But for my father, my mother, and most importantly, my brother

I wish I could have said goodbye to you before
You closed the door to the world with no encore
And I was a sophomore, you were senior
You probably wouldn't even recognize me anymore

Before, you swore, you would teach me how to be
A man with plan in hand, and how to handle the
Secret to the world, it was all mine to take
And yet a life is gone with my heart to break

This shit is fake, like I've got to be dreaming this
And yet I miss you everyday as I reminisce
Kisses we never shared though we had eternally cared
Now we're left shocked, awed, and so unprepared

God, I hope that you take care of my brother
And bro, I hope you look down on pop and mother
Cause no one other loved you more than the rents
And love you still through these unfortunate events

As davishing and ravishing, I'll never be like you
You Wahoo with straight A's you made at UVA
You paved a road to follow and I lasted a day but hey
Your steps are far apart, you're smart

Your heart Grinched the day your life clinched its start
Three sizes it grew in you, I swear it's true
At age none, number one, I'm two
Tissues, for the second born, now I mourn

A hearse and the first, your day of birth
A miracle unto the earth, you came
You were named, Hunter
The boy wonder, I'm under

Your shadow, perfection
Wanting to follow, direction
To the fountain of knowledge, I look and see your reflection
And now, finally now, you see affection

You were the astronaut, and I was only your crew
But now you're flying by yourself, and I astronomically miss you
