Fallen Soldier

I hung his picture on the wall from his album
He was my everything, I couldn’t live without him
But it was more than adoration for a star
I was influenced by more than what the said in his bars
The Artist that I wished to be
I fell in love with his poetry
Pretended that he wrote it for me
I guess the world couldn’t take a man so complex
And his words gave me hope about the opposite sex
Now he’s gone and I’m looking for him
I’m lost in a world, what would it be if he was here
How could we do without him?
I wish that I could ask him, bear witness to futurе greatness
Maybe ask for his forgivеness, that they use his image
But he’s a man of contradiction
And I don’t worship gods of any major religion
All we are is human
That’s what I loved about his music
And even though his critics are confused
I hear his spirit calling out to me
I dreamt he left me a message inside his lyrics
If you listen, you can hear it
But...I seem to look for you in every new prospect
And hear your influence in every single project
I say goodbye after being so in denial
That my idols stay bullet-riddled
I guess it’s politics, so
I’ll keep it going in my music in your honor
Last sip of Henny, last hit of marijuana
Going out to you, and all my people on the other side
I know you tried your best, I couldn’t idolize
Because The People are one inside each other’s eyes
I know your Mama’s proud
You was only 25
When you said goodbye…
