letra de once was a guy (my special guest) - sleepyhevd slim

once was a guy who went thru h-ll
i could say his name but you don’t know him well
my n-gga that i met- got to know real well
when he went to my school in the country somewhere

we hung out rarely at first n well
till he moved up the hill with his granny nem
some other people he ain’t really like that well but it didn’t really matter they were family still

back in the day we used to get laughed at a lot
when we shared our thoughts
that was sorta like the rhymes we got
so we never fought we was taught how to act n not
couldn’t tell the difference in the differences they tend to spot

we was brought up
since toddlers
the finished products
i’m just my brothers keeper, but still they keep me low
bc of that we never knew that they was tryna roast
but now i run the stove
we eating now so here’s a toast

i’d like to say sumn this evenin
let’s take the time to recognize our n-ggas that’s not breathing
and whether they lost they life in a gunfight, overdose , or in prison
or in head on collision, an ambulance on the weekend

once was a guy who went thru h-ll
i could say his name but you don’t know him well
my n-gga that i met got to know real well but he had to move away wasn’t doing so well

granny getting sick n his momma was to
like boi whose gonna keep up with you
no supervision in the life you knew
just a lil bit of love from the g’s round you

tears from the news
friends falsely accused
facing tough penalties puttin death on you
hard to escape from the life you know
when the ones on the news were rootin for you

hard to escape from the life you know when the ones on the news used to buy you food
how you stay away from what’s around you when you know the streets pay
you can buy them shoes

all these n-ggas wanna wanna pick on you
wanna be like you
wanna succeed to
how you stay away from the life you knew cuz they say “the streets pay” n you need them tools

hard to stay away but the route that he chose
don’t know one knows how he fights dem foes
stayed out the streets tried to get a ged
man only god knows bout my old buddy ro

man only god knows from my point of view
really man a n-gga looked up to you
man it took awhile for us to get to chill dude
explained all the things that he’s been through

explained all the pain and the struggle ain’t thru
used to walk in the church like our granies said we ought to
walk in the steps that our family said to follow not a lot of role models
our mistakes become our motto

i got people i’ve met from all walks of life
and even tho we hardly talk
i pray for them at night
hoping we can live this life
find a better life
hope my n-ggas – outta jail find a better life

let’s teach these kids right from wrong so they know that loves a virtue
hoping these women don’t hurt you
this what he told me to tell to you

“ seems like we are all waiting on jesus to save the day
brothers and sisters i’ve met, we gotta have stronger faith
no matter what lifestyle given – the obstacles we face
don’t worry ’bout the path somehow the lord will make a way and

when deprivation gets ahold of mr. sandman
you won’t sleep cuz you stressing over bare hands
some rather fill there’s with a soul of a dead man (suicide)
i gotta eat so i fill mine with some bread and!
i gotta pray, i gotta pray, i gotta pray
so i die and go to heaven but for now it’s better days
until then i’m on the grind putting up for mommas sake
she said she wanna see her “sun shine” before shes at the gates….”

i remember you’re who got me together
and writing ryhmes wasn’t easy
imagine not being clever
imagine not being able to read or write out these letters
just cuz the system was failing ya never stopped you from tellin em
told me you think they scared of ya

so they pulled him outta school where all the kids got guns
with nothing else to lose he ran the streets like that was fun
not what you wanna do but what to do when mommas sick
and no leftover food to eat cuz rent and the cancer treatments

once was a guy named kycyn
rokieth desawns how i got to know him
a brother to me and a very good friend that lived by himself before i moved in

used to share a house with his granny nem
and his momma nem now it’s only him
got away from people he ain’t know that well but he wants his fam but it’s only him

granny p-ssed away and his mommas sick to
like momma i wanna take care of you
with no supervision in his life he grew
doing what you do when it’s show and prove

but ain’t it a a shame how he’s so off the chain but they don’t pay attention to the words that he’s saying
went to the show and they didn’t let him glow
let him do his thing tryd to stop his reign

but you would know that a star would shine when it’s bout that time – getting dark outside
fighting away all the pain inside lettting go doesn’t make you a lame inside

ain’t it a shame how they slander your name
cuz your shirts so plain, i’ll never know why
b-tches ain’t really wanna f-ck with us mane, ‘less we had a lil change
we ain’t have no car!

so many motherf-ckers hatin on me cuz some dirty k-swiss and a plain white t
it felt like they turnt they back on me, turnt they back on you, turn their back on we!

so many motherf-ckers hatin on you
just bc your cool dude like the words in the beat
seems like when you start to do the right things it’s difficult
strange how the settings can change

seems deez dollars don’t make no change
can’t ease no pain
won’t keep me safe
the only ride i have when i’m walking down the street is my own two feet when i’m walking in the rain

moms so sick, gotta steal this sh-t
can’t get no job, i can’t read sh-t
feels like i really can’t do sh-t
can’t get no b-tch, can’t keep no b-tch!

said the only things gonna get me rich is the work that i get for the time that i’m here!
said the only person that i’ll work for here is the man up above who sent me here!

said that we gon’ beat the system!
you and me and my big sister
just make sure they stop to listen
then he sent me on a mission!

that’s my n-gga, won’t forget em
that’s my brother, glad i met him
that’s my n-gga
very clever
system shoulda never failed ya

i know that you read these letters
i know that you’re doing better
i know you’ll be rich forever
and that girl i’m glad you met her
it looks like u kept that sweater!
and your t-shirt fits me better
oh about that girl forget her
you know that i never met her!

never likes the stuff i get her
looks like you was right about it
you said i should write about it
went into the trash and found this wadded
up and said forgot this!
told me i should keep doing this
we keep up with wallets…

told me i should keep doing this so i never lost it
and made this up so you will never be forgotten
a “so exclusive” artist!
from the underground but now he lives overtop us

thanks to my special guest he was the one who saved the day
rokieths deshawn is what he wants to go by now a days
