Ironic how you would you take a best friend from me now

The first winter after I finally put the fuckin needle down

Alone, shooting more dope than she physically could

Oblivious, pulled the trig on a fent laced rig in some random hood

Just days before she died, she texted “can’t wake from this nightmare, please save me”

Blew her line all night, but missed her by a fraction, shit was almost enough to break me

What you know about growing up a female without a father, knowing he’s well off & alive

Pretend he ain’t have a daughter, countless nights I would cry, couldn’t understand why

Desperation consumed the nights, starved for male attention like the neighborhood hoe

Darkness swallowed me, crept through shadows without purpose like a ghost

Grown niggas salivating like wolves, knowing damn well a man was absent at home

He don’t answer back, but I pray hard to God my baby sister don’t turn out like me

Never knew her daddy, 3 strikes, doing life in the penitentiary

Lord I’m on my knees, please don’t break her like you damn near broke me

Just give her all I needed & never had, not trauma and BPD

Emotions fold so I keep my heart on cold, takes all I got to keep the floodgates at bay

Refuse to show the slightest weakness, stay wit a lump in my throat all day

Loved my uncle D the most, hope he knew how much before he left to that other place

I’ll take the fall, the worst of it all, God just promise to keep my people safe from knowing nothing but pain
