Wounds

Caught in the midst of bad news, it hits like a thunderstorm,

Shit hit me like Biggie said, can't help but feel torn.

Emptiness consumes, like a vacay no fun,

Lost a homie, now the block feels like a loaded gun.

Used to vibe to the beat, now it's silence and pain,

In this concrete jungle, nothing will ever be the same.

Fuck the fake smiles, masking all the sorrow,

In this cold world, no one promises tomorrow.

Trying to navigate the maze of this street life drama,

But the void left by loss got me feeling like a comma.

Missing my ride or die, memories on replay,

Losing a friend cuts deeper than a DJ scratching a DJ.

Should've seen it coming, like Drake said in '19,

Now I'm drowning in the sorrow, feeling so obscene.

Fuck the façade, this pain ain't no facade,

Wrapping it up in these bars, it's the life we had, eternally sad

There’s no hook to this, all we got is dead silence tonight,

Lost a friend, love, and faced failure, shit ain't right.

In the game of life, sometimes we lose pieces,

Feel like I'm playing chess, but ain't got no nieces.

My heart feels like it got hit by a freight train,

Memories of better days, now all that remains,

Regret and pain, got me feeling so low,

But gotta keep moving, put on a strong show.

Betrayed by those I thought were true,

Now I'm rolling solo, ain't got no crew.

Trying to find my path in this cold world,

Lost in my thoughts, emotions swirled.

Facing demons, fighting inner wars,

Losing battles, leaving emotional scars.

But from the ashes, I rise above,

Strength in my heart, fueled by self-love.

Fuck the past, I'm looking ahead,

Focused on my grind, won't be mislead.

Life's a rollercoaster, full of highs and lows,

I'll keep pushing through, that's just how it goes.

I’ll live on that legacy you thought me, even though it didn’t make sense half the time.

Lost my friend, love, god, wonderin’ which path to climb.

Feel like my heart's been ripped out, this pain is profound.

Trying to find solace in the chaos, but all I hear is the sound

Of my own screams echoin’ in the dark, reality hittin’ hard.

Got me feelin’ like my world’s fallin’ apart, scarred

By the memories we shared, now just ashes in the flame.

All I got is my rhyme and rhythm, tryna reclaim

What’s left of my sanity, in this cruel reality

Gotta push through the agony, find serenity

In the midst of this catastrophe, tryna keep my pride

Head held high, tears hidden, I’ll survive

With the strength you instilled in me, legacy forever in my soul.

Tribute to a lost friend, love, god, forever whole.
