Chorus:

This right here is my beautiful song (And this) x 5

Verse 1:

When my brother died I got his collection of fitted caps
But real talk, I wish he was alive so I could give them back
Cause man it hurts the only way he's alive is in my raps
But since my Lyrics are his heart beat I'm killing every track
The irony because I'd rather see him breathing
And coping with his passing I swear it hasn't been easy man
He used to call me just to buck my head up
Telling me I'm his favorite rapper and that fuck my head up
because he taught me how to rhyme we'd freestyle all the time
When I saw him that last time he knew I almost cried
But I held it in like a soldier
because I knew that ribbing session would never be over
But now he's gone no longer can hear his voice
He told me I should keep going so I no longer have a choice
I gotta keep rapping if not for me for him
So I keep a pen in case I need to vent

Chorus

Verse 2:

Yo I remember when my nigga left for the marines
I was young as hell and that was an emotional scene
In some ways I really wish that I could be em
But who would have thought it be ten years before I'd get to see him
Used to wonder where You were out there
To be honest used to think u didn't care
U missed my high school graduation first time on stage
My first pregnancy scare damn I wish you were there
You missed the days when I was homeless & had nowhere to go
But I always thought about you I just though I'd let you know
You my blood so its super hard to let you go
But me and James gonna hold it down and let everybody know
How great of a person you were
And we miss having such a wonderful person on earth
We read your suicide letter I heard what your said
The day that I stop rapping will be the day that I'm dead

Chorus
