Jamal Streeter - Watch

For you
23 at my mama's house
How did things go so south
Well I guess it ain't that bad, it could be worse
My friends dad just got put in a hearse
But I keep thinking back
To when I was the man
I had the whole wide world, in my hands
At eighteen, life can be so promising
Now I think how embarrassing it'd be if I peaked
Fled the nest twice, but Drina's doing better than me
This last time had put me down on one knee
You know this yellow's for you
Bright as fuck screaming look at me
Plus it'd look good on a tee
We do what we do to better ourselves
That last text from me to you, I wasn't myself
I was hurt but deep down understood
Or understand
This feels like a rant
This feels like how it used to be
At Rolling Green
When I would smoke green on the balcony
You were military so you passed while I puffed
But you still sat with and kept me company
I figured this be the track where I tell the truth
It's easier to do when I talk to you
If you're right about me we'll see
If not this one then the next if not
If not that one then the next
If not that one I'd imagine that by then I'd be dead
I'm not suicidal, just nailed the point on the head
That night on that park bench you said go do it
And you would help me
We'd be like a team and I
Broke into tears cause I
Felt you sincere but now
You ain't here
I had a fear of losing you
And it showed in my songs
Kind of weird how it manifested
You used to be mad invested
But that man infested job of yours got you misdirected
What could I do to prevent it
What could I do to be better
When I left it was hectic
Friends and family telling me it's what they predicted
And I say thanks for the warning
But it's after the fact
And that really annoys me
That ain't looking out for me, it's just
Easier to tell the truth
When I talk to you
Give me another year or two
To do
What I said I's going to
