Lyrics

[Intro] Heatmakerz CrackMusic [Chorus] A dead body washes up beside me Another soul floats away so quietly The waves crash the sand and the sun is shinin' The breeze blows lightly It all seems untimely [Verse 1: Joell Ortiz] I used to want to know him, wondered if we had the same mannerisms My mother said he was charmin', knew how to handle women Kept some money, then she said he drove rigs or somethin' Ideal gig, being he left us and kept it truckin' If it wasn't for thesе memories, he lеft me nothin' Most are hazy, but some I see vividly Some I can even feel like him lifting me in the air then kissin' me His mustache hair ticklin' my cheek Dark skin with a fro, parking lot Joe Brown bag over his Blackberry Brandy Bullshittin' with his guys, he kept a deck of cards handy I guess I got lost in the shuffle, got some family I never met A brother and sister that I ain't even seen in a picture They would never guess That they little bro's the best secret ever kept Over the years, I imagined how they might have looked less and less Sometimes I wondered if you wondered about me Your little bastard from Brooklyn turned out wonderful How could he just leave and never call, never pop up on me? As a dad, I kinda want to hear your side of the story, but At one winter, me and moms was eating Thanksgiving dinner And got that call you was no longer with us Ain't know you well enough to say that hurt me On Thanksgiving though, probably a sign that I ain't need to know a jive turkey (Word) [Chorus] A dead body washes up beside me Another soul floats away so quietly The waves crash the sand and the sun is shinin' The breeze blows lightly It all seems untimely [Verse 2: KXNG Crooked] (Dead body) The city is insane, the city is in pain I get sentimental when it rain (Dead body) 'Cause I'm in memory lane, you walkin' on a different plane I miss you since you became (A dead body) My father is gone (Dead), my auntie is gone (Dead) My cousins are gone (Dead), my homies are gone (Dead) My granny is gone (Dead), how do I go on? (How) Do they live in this song? (Yeah) Dear Holy Father, what did all the drama in our lives show you? Is it a live show you watch? Are we actors for God's Roku? What is the real meaning of problems and trauma your child go through? I wrote you a song and I hope I'm not just talking to Pro Tools When my uncle died, I was by his side He died in Cedars-Sinai just like Biggie and Pop Smoke When me and my pop spoke, he was on his last leg I was in the studio, he was on his death bed Then he flat-lined True story [Chorus] A dead body washes up beside me Another soul floats away so quietly The waves crash the sand and the sun is shinin' The breeze blows lightly It all seems untimely [Outro] Dead body
