[Verse 1]

He never got to finish what he started here

He was out to change the world but he forgot himself

A couple burdens and addictions that he struggled with

He was friends with everybody, that was part of it

Too many parts to split

He wished he was a superhero so he altered it

He was good at givin' glory to alter this

More than passion for the music, it was purpose to him

More than accolades and money, it was therapeutic

Singin' 'bout a lot of things, he wouldn't speak of one light

How he makes his mama cry 'cause he ain't never home or

How his girl would be on edge when he not show he care

He was there but never there like he went really in himself

[Pre-Chorus]

I love this brother like my own, that's on everyone I know

I put everythin' I own down for him

I love this brother like my own, that's on everyone I know

I put everythin' I own down for him

[Chorus]

He was gone too soon

I lost a good brother, Lord save his soul, yeah, yeah

He was gone too soon

Then I realised I'm talkin' about my own ghost, yeah, yeah

He was gone too soon

I lost a good brother, Lord save his soul, yeah, yeah

He was gone too soon

Then I realised I'm talkin' about my own ghost

[Verse 2]

In and out of his relationship with God and Jesus

Lukewarm and looked more like he just got religious

The best at givin' advice but never takin' it with him

The best at listenin' but never really paid attention

He was good for somethin', never passed a judgement

He gave everyone attention, never made assumptions

When he stood up he made sure that he would stand for somethin'

Expressed himself with a mode of language, left people wonderin'

All he urged for was people to find peace or somethin'

'Cause he was peace or somethin'

Trying to build a world around him just so he could leave 'em somethin'

Open doors would guide a course but such a broken chord

Always rational but never satisfied

[Pre-Chorus]

I love this brother like my own, that's on everyone I know

I put everything I own down for him

I love this brother like my own, that's on everyone I know

I put everything I own down for him

[Interlude]

I wish I had another chance

Already given twenty three, the burn is over third degree

I wish I had another chance

'Cause I just wanna dance and go through with all my plans

I wish I had another chance

Already given twenty three, the burn is over third degree

I wish I had another chance

'Cause I just wanna dance and go through with all my plans

[Chorus]

He was gone too soon

I lost a good brother, Lord save his soul, yeah, yeah

He was gone too soon

Then I realised I'm talkin' about my own ghost, yeah, yeah

He was gone too soon

I lost a good brother, Lord save his soul, yeah, yeah

He was gone too soon

Then I realised I'm talkin' about my own ghost

[Outro]

Don't question me

Don't question me

Don't question me
