Verse 1:
Settling for less was never our intention
But here I am still wondering why I’m stuck in detention
Distorted my own vision when I had to
You ever had death looking straight at you?
What’s a man without a plan no helping hand, I gotta take
What’s was took, man life’s a crook for taking one of mine away
Ever helped your mother dry down the tears in her face?
I swear everything was better before yesterday
Just today I almost forgot well how could I?
I finally realized how quick the good die
Who to blame, who to shame after you lost one
What good does it do to see a body drop huh?
Closed curtains, nothings for certain anymore
I guess through it all, you don’t have to worry more
I can’t believe, I don’t wanna believe
Now you won’t ever get to see things that I achieved
Chorus (x2):
Why did it happen to me?
Why’d they take you from me now?
Someone tell me something
What the fuck’s happening now
Verse 2:
Well this one’s for you, and everything included in
The things I’d do to at least see you again
Momma misses you as much as she forgot about me
The times I've caught her count up all the fucking clouds seems
Endless. You have no clue how little light’s surrounding me
I still remember how much of a man you taught me how to be
I'ma reach the stars for you to know I’m not bound to lose
Just to hear what I’ve yearned to hear from you, “proud of you”
And maybe I’m fucking crazy enough to do that
And maybe I can get someone to turn just to say who’s that?
Nowhere near a new beginning hey
50/50 chance to prove I’m a dollar coin in this piggy bank
Silly game isn’t it, similar to the game we play endless in
A grudge to all and a curse to be living with
And if before thou shall taketh
I’ll make a promise for one of my own, I’ma make it man I promise
Chorus (x2):
Why did it happen to me?
Why’d they take you from me now?
Someone tell me something
What the fuck’s happening now
