the blacK smith - Heartbreaking Beauty

Old soul trapped inside my 20 year old mind
Some of my niggas fell victim to losing they lives
I can't go to funerals, I can't deal with these mama's cries
I couldn't do it for myself, I had to make this song cry
And the sun be in my eyes, light is shining like it's hope to come
But I realized then and there that the sun don't really stop for no one
I been asking god if one day I could just be an old one
Despite the fears to come and years to yearn
I can't even look in my niggas eyes, I'm so scared of losing them
Attachment issues stemmed from niggas abusing aluminum
Heartbreaking Beauty
Laying in his casket, I got this basket full of heartaches
My nigga died, and he was celebrating at his party
And niggas took my heart away
We used to wash cars by where mama had bought them Hardaway's
Back when we was scrounging Penny's
Scrubbing rims hoping this man would just give us a 20
That was tears ago
Now that my peers is gone, I'm all alone hoping people find this song
So I can retire my mother, with others along
On my journey, I done see people get stretched out on a gurney
And the nigga who did it couldn't even afford an attorney, uh
My radio be breaking down all over my patience
And free all of my niggas who couldn't get up out that station
I'm making, peace out of mayhem
I put the weed down but there's still green up on my main stem
My nigga where the fuck was you when I was crying in the room
Now I set fire upon the booth and put your lighters to your tooth, uh
Reminiscing on my dudes who couldn't get a look at you
And see where you at
Cause you had been a slave unto that truth, uh
Calling for your loot and we was polluting all our youth
With trees that grown up from the root hoping that dreams would become true
