MayDay Hobby - RIP Benny lyrics

[Hook: MayDay] I've been thinking about it lately Wish that it didn't have to be this way So many moments and memories Now they're gone and you've faded away You've faded away But in my heart you'll always be there In my heart you'll always stay [Verse 1: MayDay] My friend Benny, rest in peace bro I always looked up to you You were the example of what I had to do Always putting sh** on the side And not worrying about the haters You overcame the problems That no one could have ever made it through Your struggles were over my head You were raised by your Godmother Cause your parents were dead When you were ten someone pulled out a knife Put it to your throat Stole the five cents you had in your pocket And stole your jacket The one your mama got you for Christmas one year It was too big on you So you cut the sleeves You came that night and ran into your room Your Godmother asked you what was wrong You said it was just school And then as you grew up You learned that you were so poor That sometimes you had to steal bread from the lunchroom Them other kids laughed at you Cause your shoes were torn Had so many holes in them That they could see your big toe You would go home and cry up in your room And that's when you started dealing d** Only thirteen years old But you already knew enough Pills, c**aine, and pot all up in a bag You were doing so well Sold all them bags Starting piling up the cash Green became your favorite color And d** became your favorite path Godmother kept asking you where you getting your money You told her they raised your pay at the grocery store She said ok but she didn't believe a single word You were on top of your game By fifteen you were on top of the world But then one incident almost destroyed all of your hope One day while you were selling some dope An a**hole said he wanted some more You told him that you'd have to double the price So he put a gun up to your head And you told him you'd give it to him He stole it from your pocket And then shot you twice in the stomach You were on the ground, eyes closing Breathing deep, thinking that this is it That you won't get to see What your future will be like Or whether you'd graduate [Hook: MayDay] I've been thinking about it lately Wish that it didn't have to be this way So many moments and memories Now they're gone and you've faded away You've faded away But in my heart you'll always be there In my heart you'll always stay [Verse 2: MayDay] And blood was pouring out And you had your hand on your stomach Trying to scream out for help But you couldn't say nothing It was so dark outside by that alley That no one would have found you But by a blessing a man was pa**ing by And saw you on the ground Started yelling for help and called the ambulance They came just in time Or else you would of been gone The doctors sewed you up And told you it was a miracle you were found That's when you stopped dealing and focused on school Your music was the only thing that saved you You were making beats and getting them out there You was my homie, the only person I could trust You had my back and I had yours I was there the day that your wife gave birth I was the Godfather of your precious boy You held him in your arms and saw the love and joy You taught me how to be a better person Taught me that I can move on from my mistakes I hope that you know that I still leave bits of my lyrics on your grave I'll never forget the day you were shot in the head as You was walking out of the studio And gun shots were heard That's when one of them went right through your skull I got the phone call that you were in the hospital at 1 am Drive 120 miles per hour to make it there But once I got there the doctors told me I couldn't go in I screamed, "let me see him, get the hell out of my way" That's when your wife walked over crying Telling me it was too late After all the sh** we went through how could this be it All those memories only for this And your funeral was the biggest I've ever seen Everyone in the community came and cried We all held each other And talked about your life About how we miss you And need you around Know that the son of a b**h who shot you k**ed himself in his cell I speak to your wife Know that she's doing alright And your son is growing up to be a gentleman He's been getting straight A's Performed at his high school talent show and won first place I hope you know that we all still think of you You're somewhere up in the sky I know you're right by the light This one's for you, rest in peace Benny Thanks for being one hell of an amazing guy [Hook: MayDay] I've been thinking about it lately Wish that it didn't have to be this way So many moments and memories Now they're gone and you've faded away You've faded away But in my heart you'll always be there In my heart you'll always stay
