Mission Statement

My bro said
He only reactivated insta to post the obits
And they got sacrilegious on me, they never broke my focus
That was back when I was well-wishing on eight singles, I floated
Bill hate it but he knows it
That's my mission statement I wrote it, uh
Yeah
Winter came and he hit the road again
But it's no shame, he did what he knows again
I know the pain that's taking it's toll on him
It's a long road, find a way away from the older him
Guess I don't know for sure I wasn't folding then
I guess I hurt my family with lies, time that I stole from them
Lies I told and pills I smoked just turned me to a colder me
A few I know that really earned it still can't get a hold of me
But I always come back when you need me
Thought you'd come see me in detox
Mistreat a couple that did
And I skipped the "you made me leave" talks
Yeah
Thought you'd come see me in detox
Thought you could see I was bleeding
Curt Schilling bleeds in his sock
And we ain't got a curse to believe in
We ain't got a curse to believe in
I did the verse and I'm leaving

Invincible, just like you feel
The world is their oyster
They believe they're destined for great things, just like many of you
Their eyes are full of hope, just like you
Did they wait until it was too late to make from their lives
Even one iota of what they were capable?
Because, you see gentlemen, these boys are now fertilizing daffodils
But if you listen real close, you can hear them whisper their legacy to you
Go on, lean in. Listen, you hear it

Said I hate it when you say you love me
I barely made it out them waters, it was extra muddy
(It was extra muddy)
I asked for help, you ain't do nothing for me
I called your phone a hundred times but you just kept ignoring
Damn
The day I met them pills you became less important
Xanny's take the pain away, pop a couple, fade away
And papa, know your son gon' always shine up on a rainy day
Ay
But all this trauma I just ain't the same
I promised I would pave the way, and Imma keep it
When I needed most, they started leaving
Said don't you see I'm bleeding
Said baby, don't you see I'm bleeding
Ah, thought you'd come and see me up in detox
Bet you can't walk a mile in these Reeboks
Not even 3 blocks, the devil 'round, don't think he's not
Why you think these streets hot?
Stay too long we gon' rot
I spark this weed as I jot up in my notepad
(My notepad)
Bottom of the bottle where my hope at
Said, come around might catch a toe tag
(Come around and catch a toe tag)

Meeks, another unusual name
Seize the day
Gather ye rosebuds while ye may
Why does the writer use these lines
Because he's in a hurry
No, ding! Thank you for playing anyway
Because we are food for worms lads
Because, believe it or not
Each and every one of us in this room
is one day going to stop breathing, turn cold, and die
