[00:00.00] |
|
[00:03.03] |
To my man Dave at your grave |
[00:04.27] |
I silently prayed |
[00:05.18] |
I know you saved by grace and |
[00:06.83] |

[00:07.80] |
Man it hurt for real |
[00:08.74] |
Philly streets remain ill |
[00:10.16] |
now your boys can't chill |
[00:11.59] |
unless steel by they waistline |
[00:12.88] |
Ya didn't waste time full time |
[00:14.66] |
job and college |
[00:15.83] |
working harder not even bitter |
[00:17.41] |
at the Father |
[00:18.29] |
for taking your father at an |
[00:19.82] |
early age |
[00:20.80] |
I sympathize with your situation |
[00:22.12] |
yo my Dad's the same |
[00:23.45] |
Bullets penetrated your fles |
[00:25.10] |
arms legs even your neck |
[00:26.84] |
Your death the reason Steve |
[00:28.17] |
stays depressed |
[00:29.04] |
I never seen so many tears |
[00:30.26] |
in a day |
[00:30.82] |
so much sadness and utter |
[00:32.11] |
madness definition of tragic |
[00:34.10] |
Habits develop when |
[00:35.63] |
your friends die |
[00:36.35] |
Your memories are enemies ya |
[00:38.09] |
numb em with that Henny and lye |
[00:39.57] |
Yo it's hard to say goodbye |
[00:40.95] |
I can't let it go |
[00:41.93] |
I feel sorry for your moms it |
[00:43.66] |
must be hard on a widow |
[00:44.84] |
I feel sorry for your mother |
[00:46.39] |
I tried to take that hurt away |
[00:48.57] |
from her |
[00:49.33] |
but she can't escape the pain |
[00:50.94] |
or recover |
[00:51.80] |
so she sits alone by the |
[00:53.49] |
candle light crying at night |
[00:55.18] |
she sounds like this |
[00:58.39] |
I feel sorry for your mother |
[01:00.63] |
I couldn't take the pain away |
[01:01.96] |
from her |
[01:02.77] |
This is what a widow sounds like |
[01:05.60] |
losing her child's life |
[01:06.68] |
It's like your child losing her |
[01:07.91] |
life in front of your eyes |
[01:08.95] |
comatose high dose pain killers |
[01:10.63] |
inside her IV |
[01:12.93] |
Recall her voice calling Mommy |
[01:14.31] |
Let's play hide and seek in the |
[01:15.54] |
lobby with little Tommy |
[01:16.81] |
It's a struggle just to smile |
[01:18.18] |
your daily mission is |
[01:19.68] |
just to keep hope alive |
[01:20.85] |
but God ain't listening |
[01:22.09] |
You're whispering prayers and |
[01:23.87] |
playing musical chairs |
[01:24.79] |
inside her room by the nurse |
[01:26.01] |
and near them exit stairs and |
[01:27.24] |
there's |
[01:27.71] |
so much support expert |
[01:29.29] |
technicians |
[01:30.16] |
but modern medicine couldn't |
[01:31.53] |
keep your little kid living |
[01:32.67] |
Now they hit you with that news |
[01:34.09] |
so much disbelief |
[01:35.64] |
you wouldn't let the casket |
[01:37.33] |
drop in the dust for 6 feet |
[01:38.25] |
Holding back your tears when |
[01:40.17] |
you're at your day job |
[01:41.19] |
during breaks in the bathroom |
[01:42.38] |
cursing at God |
[01:43.50] |
You knocked he didn't open |
[01:45.09] |
asked didn't receive |
[01:46.11] |
Now your child joins your |
[01:47.59] |
husband in the ground underneath |
[01:49.07] |
I feel sorry for your mother |
[01:50.77] |
I tried to take that hurt away |
[01:52.40] |
from her |
[01:53.63] |
but she can't escape the pain |
[01:55.08] |
or recover |
[01:56.13] |
so she sits alone by the |
[01:57.67] |
candle light crying at night |
[01:58.70] |
she sounds like this |
[02:00.46] |
|
[02:02.57] |
I feel sorry for that mother |
[02:04.67] |
I couldn't take the pain away |
[02:05.96] |
from her |
[02:06.92] |
So she prays in vain for answers |
[02:08.70] |
ain't no cure to Cancer |
[02:10.70] |
To all the fallen you're gone |
[02:12.24] |
but not forgotten |
[02:13.10] |
escape from this modern day Gotham |
[02:14.88] |
gritty city in a physical form |
[02:16.47] |
you've shown me courage |
[02:17.91] |
in a storm |
[02:18.48] |
I touch the clothes you left |
[02:19.65] |
behind they remain warm |
[02:20.83] |
In the morning hours address |
[02:22.32] |
heavenly powers |
[02:23.69] |
leave flowers at your grave |
[02:24.81] |
Teddy Umi and Dave |
[02:26.09] |
Rest in peace in a place |
[02:27.52] |
undivided by race |
[02:28.59] |
True love given not chased |
[02:30.12] |
your belly stay full of steak |
[02:31.62] |
Hesitating voices |
[02:32.68] |
saying your boys is gone |
[02:34.14] |
Sitting there shocked with no |
[02:35.72] |
response gripping the phone |
[02:36.85] |
All my dogs go to heaven ain't |
[02:38.49] |
that right reverend |
[02:39.37] |
No if's and's or maybe's end |
[02:40.91] |
of sentence |
[02:42.09] |
Mention fate spark religious |
[02:43.57] |
debate |
[02:44.33] |
witness a newborn die then |
[02:45.60] |
testify why God's so great |
[02:47.28] |
Now it's nothing but hate love |
[02:49.29] |
is too damn abusive |
[02:50.21] |
Cuz whatever you love you lose it |
[02:51.98] |
That's why I feel sorry for |
[02:53.57] |
your mother |
[02:55.27] |
I tried to take that hurt away |
[02:57.12] |
from her |
[02:57.68] |
but she can't escape the pain |
[02:59.37] |
or recover |
[03:00.17] |
so she sits alone by the |
[03:01.40] |
candle light crying at night |
[03:03.14] |
she sounds like this |
[03:06.55] |
I feel sorry for your mother |
[03:08.91] |
She can't escape the pain or |
[03:09.64] |
recover |
[03:10.92] |
This is what a widow sounds like |
[03:12.60] |
losing |
[03:13.37] |
her child's life it's like this |
[03:39.00] |
