Years Go By

Look up in the sky asking where you be
Please don't run and shy no more hide and seek
Niggas lose their life need some quiet peace
I done seen divide each and every week
Lot of mothers cry wishing they can keep
He was sixteen so they can't repeat
Years go by no they can't repeat
Tears gone dry when you fall asleep
Everybody different
Everybody cope with pain differently
Everybody mischief
When everything goes bad that can turn a light off in a instant
That can make the family keep you distant
That can make you feel some type of way
That can make a calm boy insane
That can make a brother kill his brother
Resemble the Bible Abel Cain
We all need some healing now 'cause we drilling down on our enemies in shame
When you said it all, what's left to say
All of the energy we drained
I got the agility you think
I grew with serenity and taint

Years go by
Tears gone dry
Pain ain't gone
Still inside
Don't go ghost
Stay alive
Keep on pushing
I use my pride

I pray for you
So can you pray for me
This a lifestyle
Baby I do this with ease
And you know I gotta practice what I really preach
I'm on ten toes
Yeah I stand on everything
Had them coping mechanisms gave the pain away
It took three years
It took two years
I had to relocate
My energy was off balance I was losing faith
My energy was off but who gone really catch a fade
You gone catch a fade (fade)
You gone catch a stray (stray)
If you keep on acting crazy you gone be a stray (stray)
You is not my dog
Been let you off the leash
I had ownership and time to sit but never chained

Years go by
Tears gone dry
Pain ain't gone
Still inside
Don't go ghost
Stay alive
Keep on pushing
I use my pride
