(Where did he go?) (I see him still…) [Verse 1: Helms Deep] Yo, I first met Flade at Jordan Bitz's house The Crocus days, shout out to Kendall Kautz I flow out my mouth, as an honor to ya d**h Rest In Peace, to the world's best friend Hip-hop lover, he was everyone's brother Gave me Circas, when he didn't even scuff em This dude was so humbling, so stunting Who woud've thought his soul would rupture But it didn't, I was just much younger I followed behind and we had fine times A week before you died we was doing nose slides Wish you wouldn'ta nose dived, or had nine lives My time sacrificed, messing up rhyme after rhyme You gave me inspiration, it's like we conversating Now you're on the good side, just patiently waiting (Just patiently waiting) [Verse 2: Helms Deep] Yeah sh**'s crazy, should've never saw you there Should've never got that phone call that you were no longer here Tears stream down our faces as we sang Let It Be Left without a trace, can't explain how much you meant to me You were the friendliest, the greatest Had a laughter that's contagious And fitted cap with some Nikes, damn that's outrageous From the powder to the crete we grew up together I was the rut of the pack, always scared of danger You were the social bu*terfly a hip-hop lover Wonder if your love woulda grew brother? Would you be sitting on this couch spitting about the summer? Would we be distant? Like some friends have gone to Do and live different? Or would we quote a sentence and have the other finish it? You separated us, but brought us together From the wake to the skating Having jams to keep it sacred The day you pa**ed, I began living for myself Not selfish, but to not give up a day To keep on striving, not sliding a stray And to remember the goodtimes, like you ain't even away (You ain't even away) [Verse 3: Helms Deep] I've turned the yearbook between the F's For your name Realized your gone and it's left me insane Resilience measured I remember watching Jay And Silent Bob, How High looking up to you playa! Going to the mall and just time wasted In Español, we were buddies learning phrases Then I'd just see you at a party or have a sesh skating We went to mountains and came down some hills Puffed cigars and had guts to spill But that was recent I remember you way before the treatment We'd Chill at Duemelands telling girls secrets Where I had my first kiss and snowboarding teaching We both knew how to ride but taught eachother Froze our toes off you was like my brother But where did you go? Left us to soon, messed up alone But I was here for you and still am Can't wait to sit with you in heaven and share wisdom And tell about my life and how I missed him I miss you man, Rest in Peace Tayler Fladeland July 14, 2010
