Dear Friend

I could tell James
I could tell you
I could tell people that he never even knew
I can tell it won't be the same what a crazy couple days
Man its heavy that he's buried so soon

Barely made youth
Renegade crew
Fuck man I wanna pray that it aint true
Got me reminicing on the days when we little and we played
And the kiddies in the city both grew

Memories I don't know where ima start
Firstly I remember all the birthdays in the park
Back when we were rollin with our brothers
Wish I told em' that I love em' but I didn't now it's tearing me apart

Staring at a dark place
Man it's hard when your heart aches
Brother know I love ya till your last day
Now you travel star gates too with that scarface dude
Up in heaven but to get there had to part ways

After clubbing I just wondered where you went
Yelling see ya later but you never told me when
Brother don't forget say I love you to your friends
Cause you never know if you'll be seeing them again

Be a better friend I wish I'd given him a call
Now he's in the morgue
Can't tell him anymore
Cherish every memory can't forget him when he's gone
Hope that his legacy will never be ignored

Woke up and I hear them cries
Hey buddy better clear them eyes
We might shed a tear sometimes
What you gon' do when a dear friend dies

Mix tears with the beer and wine
It's weird you're not here at night
Now feel that I fear goodbyes
How you gon' deal when a dear friend dies

Letters wrote on a plaque
But they won't ever let us know where he's at
I could go tell him that a bro got his back
But it won't help him through a covid attack

I could trade, hoping that I go through the pain
But I know James won't hope for the same
Know that Saint Peter better open the gate
For that brave brother they've chosen to take

Tell it to a god like hey why
Would you wanna take my mates life?
Never gonna know brother when we're gonna go
But I bet he would of said okay fine

This is gonna be my day I'm
Sorry then that I can't say bye
Letter to the bros always better than a rose
Send a message to ya breddas don't waste time

Late night
Had a great ride
Candle in the sky and you know he burnt bright
Learning that to die is our only birth right
While I'm yearning for a life that just went and blurred by

Memories of the ways you done made it worthwhile
Went and lifted weights and you made it worldwide
Then there's footy days getting up at first light
And how your dad danced when you scored your first try

Oh man I know
That'll be with me everywhere I go
I can still feel it when I'm deep down low
Memories of him livin Vida Lo

I don't wan' tell him when I'm in my grave
I don't wan' play that amazing grace
I just wan' tell him that I miss my mate
Alot I wan' say but it's way too late

Woke up and I hear them cries
Hey buddy better clear them eyes
We might shed a tear sometimes
What you gon' do when a dear friend dies

Mix tears with the beer and wine
It's weird your not here at night
Now feel that I fear goodbyes
How you gon' deal when a dear friend dies

Hey brah, give us a call back, cheers
