Pain bottled up deep inside 
I’m not emotional 
Probably need to open the Bible 
Read a devotional 
getting hard these days 
just to smile
It’s getting hard to cope
Stress wrapping tight 
round my neck 
It might as well be a rope
Fuck it tho

Lost my bro
Wasn’t even 21
Brodie had a life ahead of him
all that he could’ve done
Took his own life
Over a hoe
shit had me sick as fuck
happened just a year ago 
to the day that this song goes up
What the fuck
  
A mother lost her only son
she feels the pain of his loss
And she ain the only one
Swear that boy be stuck up in my brain
Cos that shit fucked me up
Had to find that shit out at work
When your pic was in the front 
I was in a daze
had to find out what had happened 
I was too amazed 

knowing that the last time 
was the last time that I’d ever see his face
Now he’s in an early grave 
Such a fuckin shame
Long Live You 
They better say yo fuckin name nigga
Long Live Jadun
Yuh

Pain bottled up deep inside 
It’s damn near clinical
Break me down while making me stronger
like an Elliptical 
Trying just to hold me together 
least the residual 
Niggas out here dying to live
This shit getting critical 
Have to let it go cos
yea i know 
no use being miserable 
least that’s what they tell you
but they over look the principle 
I’m talking bout young and Old
That never had they stories told 
Im tryna move myself out the blue
And into the indigo

Long live my brother David
He was almost 20 
Sad to say that he didn’t make it
My other bro told me that he was gone
swore that he was faking
Saw him just a few months before
And I was irritated 
didn’t speak to him that last time
wish I’d known his fate then
feelin stupid now and
i can’t hide it or even fake it
staring at each other  
awkward silence
like fuckin strangers
all this frustration and anger
Feelin guilt now in my heart
And still can’t find reasons to shake it
(still can’t find the reasons to shake it)

Yea
My nigga from sandbox
now i gotta say goodbye 
that wasn’t the plan dawg
wish you could’ve stayed here in my life 
but you can’t dawg
wish I could’ve had some more time
but that time isn’t mine
But it’s fine cos you with the big man dawg
It’s all a part of his plan dawg

2:30
Look I done lived and I’ve lost
And I done lost a me lot
September 21 ‘23
left me torn up and scarred
Lost my professor and mentor
some nights i cry in the car
thinking bout the things you taught me
So shit I gotta go far
shit i gotta go hard

Pain bottled up deep inside 
I’m fuckin emotional 
It’s hard not to be 
When you see these people they come and go
Up in smoke
Runnin a race
that’s feeling impossible 
Jumping through these hoops
And avoiding all of these obstacles 
I gotta go
feel like im jumping in head first 
just like Geronimo 
I just wanna make my people proud
And just be hon ra ble
Just let me know
If it ever will
when the chaos slows
Feeling like the people 
You love 
Keep falling like dominoes 

guess that’s just how it goes

Pain bottled up deep inside 
I’m fuckin emotional 
It’s hard not to be 
When you see these people they come and go
Up in smoke
knowing that one day 
you gon be all alone 
I pray to God
that I see the kingdom
when’s it’s time I come home
