lyrics

[Intro]
[Skepsys]
Let's keep it real
This goes out to you
[Ziggid]
And you

[Verse 1]
[Skepsys]
It's something about the way his momma kissed him
The way his smile shine though the odds is against him
And I'm the cause of the trauma that afflict him
Ignorin' the disease 'cause I'd rather stop the symptoms
Before I crack this cheap vodka
Just understand nobody in this world can ever stop ya
But which lesson is he holdin'?
Doin' as I do or my words that was golden?
And his sister's so beautiful
She represents the dirt and hard work under my cuticles
'Cause I just love how she always outspoken
Dispellin' every notion of our motherland's culture
Though my actions may not amount
To quite what they should, take my words in account
My speech slurred when I tell you that I'm proud
But I mean every word without a shadow of a doubt

[Hook]
"And you don't stop...And you don't stop"
"Like this son" (x4)

[Verse 2]
[Ziggid]
I'm tryin' to find a peace of mind while I recover
Got engaged on the steps and promised to always love her
That night, saw the Facebook page of my older brother
Sayin' he was gone, I immediately called my mother
I broke down once I heard the tears were comin' from her
His wife eight months pregnant, I couldn't muster
My brother never knew his pops
And now his son will feel the same, I blame this vicious cycle, it don't stop
Eight months passed, woke up in a hospital bed
My wife-to-be next to me 'cause she never left
I saw the news that morning about a man who was hit
And then my phone rang, I got a call I'll never forget
"Hello"
You see, that man on the news was my best friend
Four days prior he was gettin' fitted as my groomsman
But with the two of them gone we still tied the knot
Because life goes on and it don't stop

[Hook]

[Verse 3]
[Skepsys]
Was ego bruisin' like goin' from kilo movin'
To pushin' dime bags 'cause you like a primo to me
And I see you on that bullshit you doin'
I used to clown on you for that pulpit you flew in
Two kids - we were so young and innocent
Both came up around some drug dealer pitchin' shit
And I was the first one to cop it
You shitted on your boy, now you the one that can't stop it
And damn near smoked yourself stupid
We never really did know who your real crew is
Word is bond kid, I ran into your mother
And felt her pain when she said I'm 'posed to be your brother
I wondered if she know about your snake shit
But she a queen and her heart's already breakin'
Won't be the one to tell her to stay strong
So get your mind right, hope she ain't got to wait long

[Hook]

[Outro]
[Ziggid]
R.I.P. Real D, Zoetic Minds
Rest in peace, brother
[Real D]
And don't worry about it neither
I just had to take a breather, peace
