I got a feeling that you living life unhappy

Chasing empty carcasses

You’re unfulfilled because they’re not me

Walking without no aim

I hope you feeling the pain I was bearing

When you was breaking my heart

I was still caring you were all I had

In Thomasville you thousand miles away

You falling out of love with what’s his name

I thought I’ll take his place but here we are

Four years later don’t know your whereabouts

You could of been the one

Until you played me out

Now let me tell you how that felt

I never spent so many nights alone

I use to stay up late in hopes you hit my phone

My mind would roam to darkest places

Knowing that my name was fading

Told your ass to just be patient

Guess I wasn’t worth the waiting

But I figured out how strong I am without you

I fell in love with my soul mate

I’m glad it’s not you

I realized that you were only there to teach a lesson

And I aced the test with flying colors

Even found direction

Now I know myself as El Morado

Every piece I write Picasso-esk

I bottled stress, and made the best

Of what you left

I’m never short of breath

When getting feelings off my chest

I pray you never sleep at night

From all those days I couldn’t rest

I remember all them nights of dozing off

While you were up and studying

You ask a question while I’m fast asleep

Reply with mumbling

You laugh about it

Tell me go to bed and then I Drift

I don’t miss the times

But I must admit I reminisce

Yeah, I am not venting

I’m simply checking in

You ain’t listen that’s why we found the end

I found love and we brought children in

This will be the nail into the casket

That you lay up in

I’m checking in

I’m checking in

Yeah

I’m checking in

Yeah

This verse I’m dedicating

To the ones that celebrated

The success while you were here

And now you’re gone you almost made it

I know when the seasons change

It happens when you’re a Winter

Predict they fall before they leave

And you become a memory

I cannot share my energy

And to the ones I cut

I know you sit and ask yourself

And wonder if HAKIM remember me

Yes I do, I don’t forget

And I will a hold a grudge

No matter if it makes me sick

People try to spring back in my life

Like I am Jesus with forgiveness

Once you cross me it was nice to know you

Then I say good riddance

I know that my heart is cold

But y’all to blame

You turned me frigid

You should be on top with us

But foolish pride won’t let listen

I find so funny how I finesse

Life is tracked out

They know I do it the best

Don’t gotta cue me in

I know these snakes the best

I feel the ill intent and jealousy from a stretch

I work around the clock

I cannot speak for the rest

I’m not the early bird

I watch you sleep in the nest

Can’t bring them back alive

But I know I’m pressing they chest

You’ll get the ball from me

Just wait under the net

I got them all by a stretch

Go figure they often reaching

I been a different breed

The reason behind the leaching

I broke sequence I could never be a slave

I know if I ever take a loss

You all will throw parades

I’m an addict for that reason

I can’t let them take my place

Executing with the grace

Only keep up with my pace

I don’t like to share my space with half asses

I’m a one of one, I made my wave

Don’t follow masses

Sincerely, F**k y’all!

Yeah that’s really how I feel

Swearing is my last resort

So you know that sh*t is real

This is signed and sealed

Mr. Purple when it gets delivered

Wood have split the chips with ya

But you know that gets you splinters, Yeah

Checking in

Yeah

I’m checking in

Yeah

I’m checking in

Yeah

Eddie Key

I know you watching wherever you at

Would do it all to have you back

Whatever in fact

I mean I would trade the raps

Give all of my stacks

If that’s mean you can return

And we could sit laugh

Nd talk about the time that past

And everything I witnessed

We couldve spent more time together

Hope you shed forgiveness

I wish you could be back

So you can finally meet my children

It took your death

For me to change my life and start to live it

You often visit me when I’m asleep

I keep your wristband by nightstand

It probably helps me sleep

I’m never good with grief

I don’t cope with no bottle or no smoke

I became a workaholic

And that’s how I stay afloat

I can’t forgive myself

For being absent at the funeral

That’s regret I gotta live with

And I’m sorry bro

Ima keep this short

I’m checking in

I pray for an after life

So I can see your face again

Yeah

Rest in peace bro

We gonna get it done bro

I promise

Yeah
