I got this tattoo on my back that's an RIP
To my peeps who died a truly insane story
And I feel so tied to the circumstances of that day
It's like there ain't no way to tell it casually
So I'ma take a moment to honor the honorees
Justin Morejon and his girl Karen Urbina
Should've seen her and him
Knew the brother from way back when
Till his cousin on a whim
Committed the ultimate sin
In ending their lives with a baseball bat
Like how the f*ck his kin can do a thing like that
Like you lucky you in dawg 'cause if I catch yo' ass out back
Of any alleyway where I could get away
And yo' ass is a wrap
Shit I used to think about way back then
Back when I could close my eyes and still see they cracked skin
Blackened and distended
Yes your honor that's my friend
And that's my friend and that's their end
And that's the cat that did it on the defense
Been on the fence of stability ever since
But it ain't till recently I really realized how it all affected me
Like I was 18 and so was he
We both lookin' out at futures wide open as the sea
Distance of time pulls a philosopher out of me
And comforts of rhymin' make it hard for me to stay angry
And when anger starts to give all that's left's perspective
It's scary realizing dwelling ain't really healthy
So I started to see then that life is all about balance
And what's on one side of that balance is decay
Not to say I'm forgiving the universe for the calluses
Just tryna say
Acceptance is is the only way to make sure you see better days
Distance of time
Pulls a philosopher outta me
Distance of time
Pulls a philosopher outta me
Distance of time
Pulls a philosopher outta me
Distance of time
Pulls a philosopher outta me
Distance of time
Pulls a philosopher outta me
Distance of time
Pulls a philosopher outta me
Distance of time
Pulls a philosopher outta me
Distance of time
Pulls a philosopher outta me
Better days 'head of me
Can't get there without this shit bein' a little painful you see
And honestly RIP ain't been a phantom to me
An uncle 12 and a cousin back in 2016
Just also lost my sister recently to COVID-19
And for real man I ain't tryna be overly obscene
I'm just explainin' why the hell I be the way that I be
And also tryna make y'all see the only reality
Relish yo' moments dawg 'cause they tend to be momentary
Distance of time
Pulls a philosopher outta me
Distance of time
Pulls a philosopher outta me
Distance of time
Pulls a philosopher outta me
Distance of time
Pulls a philosopher outta me
