Next level lyrical insight is a moment away.
Lyrical Analysis of...
Lil' Bro
- "Life's a bitch than ya die", that one line that just can't leave my mind
- you only get one life and only one try, are you gonna succeed or die
- in this cruel twisted world we call life, asking god for no more lies
- its just unfair taking his life instead of mine,
- he's my only lil' bro by my side, I'm begging on my knees "Oh Lord why?"
- there's no way its his time to go, heaven can hold, you don't need him just yet.
- Death ain't nothing to me, I'm not afraid of death
- yet it's aftermath can be a bit rough on me,
- I felt envy, suicidal, and angry, couldn't understand why are there tragedies
- cuz what goes around comes back around, but God don't let my little bro drown on me
- remember how he ran around in his nightgown when New Orleans scored a touchdown
- the boy never frowned, always had a smile on his face, how am i gonna heal this now
- I feel like i wasn't a good brother, but since you taking him from me why bother
- and why am i praying to a murderer, taking a toddler, your a motherfucking monster.
- I never even realized how much he adored me,
- I'm not letting anyone take whats important to me.
- trying to call a doctor but 9 1 1 won't go through,
- don't worry bro Imma get another phone for you.
- Father's giving you CPR and ya sisters are crying over you
- oh look here's Grandma and grandpa pulling up at the wrong place wrong time
- and he's your other grandma and ya cousin who heard us on the phone line
- when i tried calling an ambulance the first time, but still no sirens.
- Grandpa died not too long ago too, so don't think you got no one to hold on to
- and your probably gonna be seeing me in a few, cuz this grief and guilt you
- putting ON to me... is just too strong for me to live through,
- I'm not able to continue without you, and i didn't do much for you
- so I'mma go where ever you go, and not even God can tell me no
- and maybe me 'n you can escape from where ever we'll go
- and make up for the wasted time i spent arguing and annoying you
- cuz I'll never forget pulling you outta the pool looking at you
- your skin was so pale and your weren't able to inhale
- inside of me was like a train wreck, asking God to take me instead cuz i failed
- all i could think of was that picture of you, why take something so beautiful
- i swear...after your funeral... I'm coming up to live with you.
- Now while i was i was punching the walls bout to strangle myself
- our neighbor who's a nurse ran up the driveway to help
- and all the sudden an ambulance followed and Grandma calmed me down
- and said you were gonna be okay, i looked up thankfully with tear drops on me
- and realized what everyone thought of me was gone, probably died in me
- maybe i wasn't so strong and tough as i thought, i was planning suicide for me.
- The ambulance took you and i followed you to the hospital,
- but i was unable to get onto my feet, resting in the parking lot in the heat
- of my car thinking of the gun under my seat, threatened by what was coming for me
- reminiscing of when i strolled the high streets, thinking what if I continued on the streets
- would God still have the same plan strategy, if JJ and Bert never went missing
- cuz a light bulb went off due to this tragedy, was this fate was it destiny
- or was this all based off decisions and reason, life...is a mysterious thing
- its all confusing, thinking of why my uncle had to go cuz of a bunch of drunks
- like if he would of just stayed in his house would he still be giving me love and hugs
- or would he have gone a whole 'nother way, cuz they say...
- it must of been his time to go, so would he have gone no matter what that day
- i guess i just gotta wait til my dying day to fully know death's mysterious ways.
- But not today, I'm looking at my little brother smile even after all that happened
- nothing can keep that boy from laughing, even though he just got out an ambulance 'n
- sadness and all the other emotions he evoked on me praying
- all he wants is to just jump back in the pool and start splashing.
- And not even a week later, in school lil' bro wrote in his journal
- it showed how much i was adored and whats important, wrote i called the hospital
- and didn't even mention my father or the doctors,
- only thing he cared about was his older brother
- and i swear lil bro for now on in life I'mma make sure your always father
- and make you stronger, and i hope you'll never experience such a horror
- like what i went through with you lil' brother.
