(Verse 1)

It's 2010 I'm about to get my diploma

Everyone's happy and inside I feel I don't wanna

I feel a pain that makes me sick to my stomach

I'm crying like a baby cause I'm tired of you missing me grow up

You never taught me how to drive

You never saw me go to prom

You never taught me how to rhyme

You never told me you could fly

You never told me you would die

You never told me that these times will be the hardest in my life

I didn't wanna cross that stage

Probably one of my hardest days

There's only so much you can take

I just wanted to see your face

I just wanted to see you smilin’

In a place that's so crowded, and tell me son man you got it

But dad I made it to college, in the process made me an album

You inspired me to write it, I really hope that you're the proudest

(Chorus)

People dying every day

As we bow our heads and pray

We hope you hear us when we say

I wish you would've stayed here

It'd be different now, would've kept my smile, if you stayed here

I really miss you now, keep looking down, wish you stayed

I keep reaching out, I'd be with you now, if you stayed here

But I'm gone live for you…

(Verse 2)

It's 2014 and no crying on your birthday

Literally in years I'm feeling that this the first day

Vividly I remember it was a Thursday

And I decided to leave inside the booth my worst pains

Your funeral was the first time I saw thugs cry

Men don't cry I learned that day that that's a dumb lie

They all saw this one with a son lose to gunshots

It's all fun and games with your boys until one die

Wish you could see me on the stage

People hang onto every word I say

They calling me one of the greats

A dream that you used to chase

I just wanted to see you smilin’

In a place that's so crowded, and tell me son man you got it

But dad I'm touching thousands, in the process made an album

You inspired me to write it, I really hope that you're the proudest...

(Chorus 2xs)

(Ending 2xs)

I promise I'mma live fa ya

We have the same name I'll try to make it big fa ya

I can't promise I won't shed more tears fa ya

But I'll try to smile and shed no more tears fa ya

(Chorus 2xs)
