13th Summer - Lew

My sister lost her first child before she could see it

That shit hurt, it broke my mama to pieces

I know we say that everything in this life comes for a reason

But when it happens to YOU it be hard to believe it

Yeah ya nigga cried that night but I kept it a secret

Guess I’m too tough to show emotion and let somebody see it

Life is crazy, I mean look at all the lessons it teaches

Blessings come in many forms, ours came as Amina

Guess this is God’s plan

Not for us to understand

Whether I fly or I fall

I always land in his hands

My favorite lesson that I learned from my dad

Is ain’t nothing that damn good or that damn bad

I gotta brother and I wonder if we hang out enough

And if we dont will i regret it when im biting the dust

I guess we never make time until out time is all up

Damn im sorry im over thinking too much

But I barely say i love you to the people I love

I got your text my nigga I just ain’t replied in a month

Cuz I’m too focused on these followers and building my buzz

Can you blame me?

Ain’t nobody did it big where we from

I just follow my dreams

And I’m trusting my gut

They say it’s one in a million

But I like testing my luck

I roll the dice…

It ain’t much time in this life

And most the people that I know ain’t ever felt being alive

Damn

Cuz one day when you done and say your goodbyes

You won’t regret the «I trieds» you gone regret «neverminds»

I don’t know, I guess we gone see in time

But in the meantime ima make the most outta mine

I got a girl, she’s my world, she’s the one i adore

But i fear that I might wake up and not love her no more

Do those type of things happen?

I’m too young to be sure

Thats the gift and curse of life to never know whats in store

Man im Introverted, i dont really like to speak

But Ill tell you all about me when its on a beat

I get on my knees to see my niggas on they feet

Sometimes i wish that when i talked to god he’d talk to me

But I guess his phone on do not disturb

I can’t blame him, whens the last time i been in a church

The only time I really pray is when Im going through hurt

The only time i read a verse is when im spittin a verse

Grew up with my nigga now he locked in a prison

I was sharing rooms with Rob when you come through and kick it

Playing Madden on the sticks, now you stuck in the system

Goddamn nigga what a transition

Yeah we all got demons id be lying if i told you I didn’t

But you did some shit that, fuck, i can never forgive it

And the last time we talked you made me make a commitment

To take care of your son now that his father is missing

It make try a lil harder in these songs that ive written

It makes me hop back in the booth whenever i feel like quitting

It makes me believe in myself every time that they didn’t

Cuz its kids that look up to me and they watch my decisions

Ms. Tammy another black mother woke out her sleep

Ring ring, Just got the news that she cannot believe

Dropped the phone now them niggas talking straight to her feet

Police held target practice now her baby dead baby in the street

They dont want to see a young nigga be all he can be

Good kid, black skin, with a college degree

Them niggas taking lifes left and right, they more like thieves

But then they try to convince us that all our people are free

The word free, what does that even mean?

Cuz as I look around thats the shit that I never see

My niggas really caged birds and thats the reason I sing

I gotta show’em they fly if they spread their wings

Nigga…
