[Verse 1]
I felt an urge. My mind told me that something wasn't right
I wasn't prepared for the news that I was gonna get that night
Something told me to look on your facebook timeline
I expected to see that you was fine; only to find
"R.I.P."
Written on your facebook page
I was shocked like hell, but then that shock turned into rage
I went into my momma's room and showed her
She ain't believe it either; ain't no way in hell you chillin with the grim reaper
A couple minutes later, she called me into the room, Her eyes watering...
Her voice filled with mad gloom
I couldn't believe it; no I couldn't take it when she look me dead in my eyes
And said that you ain't make it
She talked to your mom, and she confirmed that sh** was true
And at the age of 14, that's when we said goodbye to you
It took me two years just to get the strength to write this song
Rest in peace to my mans tywan, No doubt man, we still strong
[Chorus]
I've been drowning in my tears for years, but even though you gone, I'ma stay strong and keep singing this song. (x4)
[Verse 2]
When I lost you, I was contemplating suicide
Til one day your momma said that I had inspired you
To make music just like me, and she was proud of the man that I'm turning into...Since then I vowed to make sure that I keep going for you. I know you up there along with my nana proud of everything I do
But sometimes I get a little stressed
I gotta try my best to remember you talkin to god
Makin sure that I'm blessed
I won't be truly happy until I see your family
When I get big, I'll look out for y'all. That's how it has to be
And, I know you out lookin for mine
Tell god that I said make sure that my family keeps on doing fine. Meanwhile I sip on some water to stay relaxed, Keep making dope tracks and putting them on digital wax
When I think about you I imagine you right along with my nana whispering in my ear. (Stay strong)
[Chorus]
[Outro]
Dedicated to the memory of tywan jackson and my nana, sandra harris. Rest in peace. I'm outta here
