"Poppy"

Yeah
Had to do this one
One time.

Hello Death, it seems that we meet again.
You keep takin' friends that I'll never see again.
I guess they gotta leave but if we pretend that they never left,
Well we gon' see 'em then
Never leave our heart, never leave our thoughts.
As time goes by, they'll never be forgot.
Life goes on, though I wish that they was there.
Shit like this never gonna seem fair, yeah.
So can I have a moment of silence for anyone who's gone from the coldness of violence.
And I know you wanna see me go to college,
But I'm sorry I don't think that Ima make it.
Because this world is mine for the takin',
So when I get famous they gon' know what your name is.
And no one understand what the pain is,
And how the blood run numb where my veins is.
I'd like to thank you, 'cause you made me a man.
Told me to never let it go, so I'm takin' a stand.
Always in the crowd when I played in the band.
Your grandson is everything I say that I am.
But maybe I am a little bit over my head,
But I'm feelin' so alone tryin' to cope with your death.
Holdin' my breath, wishin I had one more day.
Wishin' you could be there when I graduate.
Uh, and it's sad to say, that no one in this room understand me.

I know you had to leave, so rest in pease.
But please, can you watch over nanny.
'Cause she loved you, and I love you.
All the prayers I'm sayin' may bug you.
But I'm just checkin' in on what you up to.
So, how they treatin you up there?
Too stubborn for a cane, way to cool.
Sleepin' at your house, walkin' me to school.
Thought I was a fool when my grades started slippin.
When I played ball you was always in admission.
You, loved me more than I've been loved before.
And that's the type of thing that everyone ignores.
But not me, you got me.
Always and forever.

Time goes by, goin' without you.
Hope you know I've been thinkin' about you.
And I know, I know, I know, I know that they took you from your home.
But you're in my heart, so I'm never gonna be alone.
