R.I.P

[Verse 1]

At age 99 I watched your life pass away

I saw you in the casket, And how god took your way

I think that day, was the first time I learned to pray

I cried, and watched the Grandfather clock sway

You left us sometime, around mid may

After you were gone, I felt like a stray

Lost somewhere in life, just looking for a path

Losing you was harder than learning to do math

I never met my great gramps, but I'm sure he was great

I'll see him up in heaven, and I honestly can't wait

But so much has been on my plate, I haven't stopped to think

How I let our relationship sink

But believe me, you'll never be extinct

I have you in my heart, and with that, we'll never be apart

I feel your with me right now as I write this song

I just hope your smiling, and also singing along

 

[Verse 2]

I know before you died, You always told me to be strong

But I am stronger than ever, Haven't got you off my mind not never

You'll always be with me forever, I have a girlfriend now

She's helped me through these tough times

Help's me not cry, when I am singing these rhymes

But when I know your gone, I stabs me like knives

Cuz my heart thrives, to speak to you again

You were more of a friend, I wish I could go back then

When things weren't intense, Believe me i'd love to vent

I remember how you used to call me Trent

And it honestly meant, more than the letters you sent

I still have them, I have them all

I wish I woulda just picked up the phone and gave you a call

I felt too uninvolved, I revolved too much with football

That I just left my problems unsolved, You kept trying to help

But I didn't think I needed it, Now my problems are left undealt

 

[Verse 3]

Right now, I miss you more than I have

I just want you to know that I am glad

I am happy guy, but your death just gets me sad

And sometimes mad, that we only had

Around 11 years, It's funny cuz this year

Is when I shed the most years

Losing you was once my worst fear

I just miss you, I wish you could come back

You in my life, was the biggest impact

We still have your bags packed

And there still perfectly intact

My family already seems detached

I remember when we watched the NFL draft

You didn't understand, so I had to explain

That was the first time I heard you say god's name in vain

You were so confused, it's funny

I wrote this today, cuz the sky wasn't sunny

And it reminded me of you Granny

But I gotta say goodbye

It's best to learn to let things go

But just know, You'll always be in my heart though
