lyrics

"Be Still"

I mean it's real shit
Something you can build with
Try to keep your mind strong
Hands off the kill switch
They told me you was done living
Shit made my eyes swell
I know since my son's living
we've had a dry spell
It's crazy cuz you're gone - moving on the abyss
& every time I think about you I dont wanna do shit
I just sit up on my couch - getting high alone
Then I pick my son up & I show him all your songs
I hug him & let him know his uncle was the shit
That's how you raise a man that's born within the jungle and the pits
I gotta say - that's a damn fine job that your mom did
& if she needs a little closure I hope she finds it
You always told me I was would be the best that ever did it
& After I laughed you would say that you weren't kidding
So Ima work hard as I can so you aren't proven wrong
Can still feel your spirit when our unfinished songs
cmon

Hook:
This ain't no goodbye
It's only bye for now
Don't move - be still be still be still be still
(I'll still be loving you)
Be still be still be still

Yo
real shit
Something we can build with
Always kept our skin tough
So that we can't feel this
What up? I know We haven't talked in a while
I've been busy doing shows - as I walk through the crowd
They can see every single thing you taught to your child
You say you happy, but I know just how you talk when you smile
I know it's because of me
I was broke for the longest time
& You just wanna see me doing good
I'm on it, Mom
Life itself as I know it now is getting scary
Because all my friends are dying off or getting married
Depending on which way that they went
It's a lifestyle - depending on what's paying they rent
They say what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger
This burden put upon us'll pawn us - no cutting corners
We had our ups and downs & then we'd miss each other
No matter what I did or said - you were still my mother
