This is a message to my younger self

Tryna figure things out right now

Listen up yeah

Look

Know they're dead but laughing they don't care about you fool

Unless you pack a fortune

Then they act like you're the dude it's true

You're standing with corpses corpsing over you

But when their dead they won't be looking over you

They're dead but laughing they don't care about you fool

Unless you pack a fortune

Then they act like you're the dudе it's true

You're standing with corpses corpsing ovеr you

But when their dead they won't be looking over you

Said boy look who you've surrounded yourself with

Equipped with no fix from Felix I see their shit

Building on top of you like pyramids

No tomb to save or Tutankhamun to grace you

When these boys put you by your gravestone

Cuz they know

Their jealousy will kill you quicker than Cane did with Abel

Cuz these the type of fellas to put you in headlocks

Like they've got nothing better to do with themselves

Which is true

But they're abusing you

Don't let them do this to you

Throwing you across table ain't what friends supposed to do

Look at the state of you

My mum's saying

The thousands of tears streaming down my face

I'd held in all day

By the time

I let the damn break

My friends couldn't see me

My parent's hearts grieving

Express to my dad screaming I can't take this shit

And he's saying mate just hit them back

My mum ashamed with his plan

Saying Dave they're just

Dead but laughing they don't care about you fool

Unless you pack a fortune

Then they act like you're the dude it's true

You're standing with corpses corpsing over you

But when their dead they won't be looking over you

They're dead but laughing they don't care about you fool

Unless you pack a fortune

Then they act like you're the dude it's true

You're standing with corpses corpsing over you

But when their dead they won't be looking over you

My blood brother with a story like no other

And another antagonist

Deploying the same bullshit antics

Now for my bro

It's like survival tactics in school

No Joey Badass

But my dude would get laughed at

Jabbed at

Inside the PE changing rooms

Remember for a fact

They'd steal his clothes so

He'd run around naked

Chasing and begging these fools to give em back

His so called friends among the laughter

So you can tell he had it bad

It's crazy how me and bro's journeys were parallel

Through school friends we thought were friends we could never tell

Until the last 3 o'clock bell eventually rang

Fellas like we'll stay in touch

Course we never heard from again

But I won't lie for my bro it was so much worse

Cuz people he got close with didn't see him as a friend

Saying shit like listen man I didn't mean what I said

Imagine what that response had him left

Pain ricocheting off all those walls inside his head

I bet his paranoid to ever trust someone again

But as his real brother

I'll tell ya that I love him to death

Best friend that I have got

So let them dead fellas regret
