I look to the sky see if you looking down
I look deep inside know you always be around
To that day when we meet again
Next life next of kin
This bond so strong ain't breaking it
See I remember when them times got hard
Way before they put the hustle in the word
And put them crosses on the lawn
Hypocrites tried to fake the odds
You kept it straight in a world of frauds
I tried my best to keep the faith for all
But when your kidneys shut down
Some took a different route
Some plotted just to take
Blinded tried to chase to cake
But Kate ain't even in the dirt yet
The hurt will
Drowning in them grains of sands
Struggling trying to be a man
Looking for your open hand
Or just a smile from your face
When you died, my soul tried to race
A fate I couldn't win
A journey that begin where it ends
When it come I'm ready for the win
To take it all away
Until then I fighting everyday
To make you proud in every way
I look to the sky see if you looking down
I look deep inside know you always be around
To that day when we meet again
Next life next of kin
This bond so strong ain't breaking it
I remember first night at ya house
You took me in, not ya son's friend
Like family, no questions why or when
My time of need, bout lose all of my dreams
You believed my destiny
Must've saw the best in me
When I couldn't see it in myself
Full of hate on a different path
Past plague with some different math
I had to laugh at "grannies bake cookies"
But my granny held it down
So I could never be crook g
Responsibility of breaking the circle
From Ms. Smith and Susie
I am going continue to work it
The sacrifice of the ones before
They paid the price so I got to sow
The seeds set so we can grow some more
And build it up for the ones that coming after
Or give a hand to the ones that need hope
Can't just be about I or me
Or the sweat that got you here
Will just be some memories
I look to the sky see if you looking down
I look deep inside know you always be around
To that day when we meet again
Next life next of kin
This bond so strong ain't breaking it
