Royce

Rest in peace, Royce
You always here for me
I'm always here for you
Maybe someday, I'll be okay

Right now I'm hurting, lost and deserted
But maybe someday, I'll be okay
Right now I'm bleeding, searching for meaning
But I'll be okay

I still remember my phone going off
Ring, ring, this is a weird time for my brother to call
Listen for the sun, but it sounded like fall
Royce is gone, he took himself from us all

Trying to stand tall with my back on the wall
Legs shaking, life comes to a stall
Staring at your picture, this is not what I saw
Saw rap on a Zoon, kicking a tune

Saw verses to boom, getting us through
Saw W.O.W in the living room, maybe cartoons
Little bro hit this bong, nah, maybe too soon
We party all night, yeah, we sleeping till noon

Now I'm staring at you, but it looks like a moon
Hiding from the truth that I wish was untrue
Find a melody, I get lost in the booth
Mind spinning like I'm feeling confused

The same way life got me feeling so fooled
That a smile means you always happy and cool
Rest in Royce, like we finding the peace
Our life is hip hop, and I'm grabbing a seat

Maybe someday, I'll be OK
Right now I'm hurting, lost and deserted
But maybe someday, I'll be OK
Right now I'm bleeding, searching for meaning

But I'll be OK
Now I'm looking back when we were just kids
Writing raps up with trash
Faking the shit

You gave me confidence that I needed again
I jot half a page, need to rip it to friends
What was lost in life, we find in a pen
We love basketball and rap

That's our passion
Used to medicate to numb the pain we create
Now I levitate the love we inflate
Took my life to a better place

From a day that's gone, but forgotten in no way
It's OK to stray
It's OK to hate
It's OK to not feel happy every day

It's strange
We do the same thing and expect it to change
Are we slaves to others' thoughts or cuffed by our dreams
Are you kidding me

You best believe I thank you every time that I seek
A poet energy you instilled in me
I speak with my heart and you naturally beat
Every step I take, I know you're following me

Now we have four tracks every two feet
Maybe someday I'll be OK
Right now I'm hurting, lost and deserted
But maybe someday I'll be OK

Right now I'm bleeding, searching for meaning
But I'll be OK
I know I will be
Because this world don't give me a chance to agree

I got to stand on my feet, even if I fall to my knees
If I'm looking up, I know you're looking back at me
Where's this life going to lead
I don't know

But I promise, wherever I go, I'll
keep you by my side, ready to grow, ready to flow
Fuck this shit
I'm ready to blow

How can I let go
Never mind
Let this song be the only way that I cope
Maybe someday I'll be OK

Right now I'm hurting, lost and deserted
But maybe someday I'll be OK
Right now I'm bleeding, searching for meaning
But I'll be OK
