lyrics

He was once a standup guy
Someone you could look to on your darkest night
Kindness in his heart, treated everyone the same
Never infected by the superficial pain

we used to be boys now shits gotten strange
i miss you from time to time i’m
fightin off the pain
We used to boys now wish i could give you a call
but you haven’t answered my shit since
at least last fall

Thought we were ride or die you musta thought different
You were a day onewho was i kidding?
Are we family or not? Does that mean shit to you?
I’m just dead. I’m no one. And there’s nothing i can do?

Put up what walls you want, I won’t tear them down.
I’ll leave you alone until you wana come around.
I love you like a family. You’re my homie till the end.
But i’m still your brother even if I’m not your friend.
