He was my "brotha from anotha motha". My heart breaks when I think of his final moments and how he was taken from us so young. Sometimes life just is not fair.
Do you remember?
Do you remember, when it was just a song?
Just a bunch of kids growing up
There was nothing wrong
A smile on your face and passion in your heart
How did a few wrong turns tear is all apart?
Do you remember, when you stepped in?
"Ya sista from anotha motha"
Was in trouble once again
You never thought twice
You were always there for me
The trouble in a few wrong turns, now I can clearly see
Do you remember, when I witnessed the wrong thing?
Some how you convinced them
This canary would not sing
I walk away free
I knew you had my back
A few wrong turns and you were slipping through the cracks
Do you remember, you turned and walked away?
I tried to reach for you
I wanted you to stay
You had high hopes
Dollar signs in your eyes
Can you hear from where you are -
Our unstoppable cries?
I know things aren't always as they seem
I wish it were still just a song
I wish to awake from this horrible dream

What Then?
When the smoke clear
You're not here
What then?
Your time comes around
Dust settles down
Will we ever see you again?
The clock strikes the time
You paid for the crime
You're gone and we're here
What then?
What then
Are we supposed to do?
All we have are memories of you
Holding onto
What then?
If you could do it all again
What then?
Would you change how things end?
The smoke has cleared
With a flash you're no longer here
Tomorrow will come
Without you
What are we to do when all that's left are these memories of you?
