Story of NY

Story of NY
That's my nigga we lived in the hood he used to come by
Listen to demos i made told me I'm lit a die hard
Showed me some love remember 09 we had some great times
Yea that fella a great guy
Wasn't the richest kid but he wasn't from a poor home too
His daddy abroad he made sure he put on a fly show too
His mama a caterer and she was making some cool dough too
He put me on cool stuff man that's exactly what brothers do
But it went south real fast they running low on cash
His daddy got schizophrenia nothing is moving so they need gas
He is the only son he got two sisters he's breaking bad
But he always that tough guy hurts him but he never crushed
And even in bad times you know God has bigger plans
He played the American lottery and won now he got a bigger chance
To turn it around cause that was a miracle who woulda thought not me
And that the first time that i saw him cry but he did that proudly
Fast forward a year later my nigga he moved to New York
NY in NY he be rocking every cool drop
Sent me flicks from 34th street damn he living the most now
We facetiming holding glasses making a toast now

And yea he never rest he be working on a weekend
Back home he got family to feed still gotta make up and pay rent
All this at 21 no kids but acting a parent
I let him know how proud i am of him even in the midst of mayhem
I scroll through his IG and my nigga bossin it up for real
Glowing through the pain no fakes that's how he be for real
He inspires me everytime we speak on the phone for real
But the last time we spoke he told me somethings for real
He said Kelz I'm in deep shit i been eager to fix up the pieces
Always working hard but chale
You know how small that cheese is
I for get more to sort poppy mommy too dey
Dey rely on me
So when these boys approached with moves couldn't resist i took it on me
Said all they needed be my account alert drop 20 be my own
Too good couldn't say no cause man for stack then come home
Now I'm ducking law enforcement can't tell my last day at home
How i go tell my fam bro cause this go fit break bones
Unfortunately it was the last time me and NY chop it up
Last time i met his little sister told me her brother got 20 years
He ain't seeing the sun in two decades pray that homie holds it up
I pray for his family every day hope they never get swallowed up
