This song is dedicated to XXXTENTACION who was tragically shot and killed in June 2018. I absolutely loved the guy, for helping me through depression, he was a huge inspiration to me. And I just wanted to say my Goodbyes in my own way.
[PART 1; ANGER]
(Verse 1):
Look at all this media bullshit
They know they’re full of shit
You know i ain’t gonna quit
X was one of my true inspirations
Now he’s gonna be one of my hallucinations
Seeing his name slandered, fuck you
Stop sharing fake news, you wanna believe is true
He predicted his death, as if it was a prophecy
Because he’s a legend, this is a tragedy
Shot by a pussy boy, it’s a travesty
Soldier kidd did him, don’t tell me different
Sorry if i seem pretty fucking distant
Drake, you’re nice for what, killing kids
When you gonna kill your own (that’s a diss)
You did wrong, killing a teenager
Wait until you’re next on stage ya
You’ll be thrown off in a matter of seconds
When you’re dead no one wants seconds
X i hope you faked your death
So you can come back and be the best
Beat the rest
I can’t feel the pulse in my chest
The skies cry when a legend dies, that’s true
They were raining all day yesterday for you
I’m like a fuse, i blew
[PART 2; SOLITUDE]
(Verse 1):
Xxx saved my life, back in 2016
Deep songs to save a random teen
He’s an idol, a hero and saviour
I feel like i owe him a favour
I wanna make sure everyone sees the truth
How shit like this can affect the youth
He didn’t have to make music
He didn’t have to lose it
He wanted to do what he loved
Helping others through depression
Yeah i may have an obsession
I may only see the good
But that’s what we all should
In some way he was a bad guy
But did he deserve to die?
No, he was young he could reform
But he stood out, not a societal norm
He changed the way hip hop sounds
Like it or not, he’s the one who found
A balance, perfect to music lovers
And then he passed his knowledge onto others
Without him there’d be no lil pump, or 69
And some of you may think that’s fine
Well these people are making good shit
Hip hop advanced from just hood shit
You may think i’m speaking bullshit
But it’s all true shit
(Verse 2):
He was a comedic type of guy
He wouldn’t seem like the person to cry
But he’s evidence, the happiest
Can also feel the crappiest
He was just trying to find happiness
But instead of for himself
He gave it to all of us
Now the media throws him under a bus
Talking about his course cases
But the media shows many faces
When was last wholesome news story
I think that’s a hard say for me
The news never talks about his charity
They just talk about all his savagery
Triple x beat up his girlfriend
But she admitted she lied in the end
So we just gonna forget both sides
I’m making music to turn the tides
Yeah death is permanent
But the feelings ain’t permanent
Just let the media forget
Then the fans can have this moment
To remember all the good things he did
The killers will be done for what they did
And until we have closure, remember this
Would triple x want us crying like this
