letra de state of emergency - yakithekid

[intro]
aye, listen man
had to slow it down
just cleaning out my closet
life ain’t always sunshine and rainbows, you know?
this one’s been on my mind, i thought i’d lay it down

[verse]
i remember nights when i was up
eyes on christ, was looking up into the sky
does he have spare change to place inside my cup?
was going places, nah sike
was too complacent, sounds right
and all my wrongs i had committed i spent time trying to flush
acting like the perfect christian, claiming i was on a mission
got distracted not too long after it started, that was tough
like the story ‘bout the tortoise and the hare, i was the latter
fell asleep bеfore i ever еven cared to climb the ladder
was convinced that maybe i could take the elevator there
unbeknownst to me, the lord preferred that i would take the stairs
i don’t know why he sometimes put us through a little trial
but you ain’t ever use a product before seeing if it’s liable
i guess so
lacing up my shoes, and now i’m ten toes
down for heaven’s kingdom, how i wish i would’ve seen him
early in my years, when i grew up around my peers
who got used to wiping tears and asking why’d they end up here
thinking ‘bout a certain person way back home
know it’s late, but i’ll be frank and let you know that it did something to my soul
when i heard that you had passed, ain’t gon’ cap and say that we was close
ain’t even know your folks, but we were bros and we had mad jokes
since back in sixth grade, i think it was pe
when we’d walk down to the lunch room and we’d gather round to eat
when we knew that time was up soon, we’d finish up our lunch
if i only knew the business you weren’t able to get done
fast forward, freshman year
high school, the start of fears
where’d we’d worry ‘bout the place that we would see ourselves in years
i remember walking into culinary, seeing smiles
from that abercrombie hoodie when i looked right down the aisle
you were my guy during those long days, wish i had a strong faith
to comfort you, cuz you would open up and it was all pain
looking back, i hang my head, my man i feel ashamed
that our friendship never went beyond the bounds of school days
but i had to learn the hard way
you had to take the long way
it had to take me learning from a friend you passed in broad day
to wish i could amend the time we spent inside the hallways
i wish i could pretend i wasn’t scared to mention god’s grace
i let you down, i’m sorry
it’s a shame we had to part ways
i moved to tally while you tallied days up in a stuck place
lately i been trying to be better than my old ways
cuz time is running quicker than i thought it would, i won’t wait
i want you to know that i been thinking ‘bout you
and i been praying for your family since they gotta live without you
i don’t want to disrespect the sadness of the situation
but i wrote this record cuz for me a lesson has been taken
my efforts have been tainted and my spirit has been shaken
when i met you i was resting, now you rest and i’m awakened
if i knew your time was up soon, i would’ve moved with urgency
now the state on my license plate says “of emergency”
