Amen (Remix)

[Intro]
There was a time when I was alone
Nowhere to go and no place to call home
My only friend was the man on the moon
And even sometimes, he would go away too
Then one night, as I closed my eyes
I saw a shadow flying high
Then one night, as I closed my eyes
I saw a shadow flying high

[Chorus]
They don’t even know what it feel like to lose em back to back
They don’t even know what it feel like to be dressing in all black
He don’t even fuck with funerals, he ain’t never going back
He don’t even want a casket, just like his momma turn him into ash
He tryna drop out, he won’t cop out, he just tryna get this cash
He a church baby but the devil steady on his ass

[Verse]
He was 12 years old, his heart got cold, can’t live with his momma dying
He was on his ass, his heart ain't work, but he was trying
He was inna pot, shit got hot, them niggas frying
Them niggas dying, mommas crying, bitch this shit just business
He got connections, money give erections, same just like his hoe
He found his father, he had a sister, shit it’s more like four
Having talks and walks wit pops, he say he miss kicking doors
Moved out the colonies into apartments, that shit was for the poor
Ain’t never had a house till he hit the burbs, but that set up ain’t work
Quite like a mouse, alone in that house, he don’t talk bout his problems
He crashing out, tryna lash out, he pray the drugs gone solve em
But they don’t solve em, that’s the problem, so he can not solve em
He was low, like real real low, man that shit was bad
Fam see him acting up they saying that shit a fad
You would think he out from England the way he miss his lads
Them niggas dying, souls keep flying, he wanna be wit his fam
He was at the funerals crying oceans, rivers, and dams
He ain't wanna feel, just wanted to kill, he swore that shit was real
He barely cry when people die, he say that shit just apart of life, yeah

[Chorus]
They don’t even know what it feel like to lose em back to back
They don’t even know what it feel like to be dressing in all black
He don’t even fuck with funerals, he ain’t never going back
He don’t even want a casket, just like his momma turn him into ash
He tryna drop out, he won’t cop out, he just tryna get this cash
He a church baby but the devil steady on his ass

[Interlude]
There was a time when I was alone
Nowhere to go and no place to call home
My only friend was the man in the moon
And even sometimes, he would go away too
Then one night, as I closed my eyes
I saw a shadow flying high
Then one night, as I closed my eyes
I saw a shadow flying high
There was a time when I was alone
Nowhere to go and no place to call home
My only friend was the man in the moon
I saw a shadow flying high

[Chorus]
They don’t even know what it feel like to lose em back to back
They don’t even know what it feel like to be dressing in all black
He don’t even fuck with funerals, he ain’t never going back
He don’t even want a casket, just like his momma turn him into ash
He tryna drop out, he won’t cop out, he just tryna get this cash
He a church baby but the devil steady on his ass

[Outro]
There was a time when I was alone
Nowhere to go and no place to call home
My only friend was the man in the moon
And even sometimes, he would go away too
Then one night, as I closed my eyes
I saw a shadow flying high
