My dad's last words were "I'm tired"
At that point
Everything changed
You ready yourself for a loss
A flatlined phone call
Last breath
Cold night sweats
Wondering if the transition gave relief
Was he tired of pain?
Tired of seeing new faces or old family disgraces?
Bogus drama?
The kids wildin?
Tired of me?
Too tired ro see
Exhausted with no sleep
Worried how it all might be
I wonder if he feared death
Was the death of me
Tend to overthink
As I do
I realized
I'm ******* tired too
Wasting sleep needed nights on your *****
His problems
What he needs
How I became problem solver
Setups
Schemes
Plots
Secretary
Bulk stops
Find a fein
Treat him mean
Trade the green
And let him fein
It's not just you
It's me too
Tired of the scamming fools
Find the sucker
Pleasure his peak
Leave him with his pockets weak
Tired of bad kids
Exhausted from the bills
Loyal to the hustle
We gotta pay just to live
I didn't ask to be here
God said procreate
Speaking of the one above
I beg He take the hate
Take this hate
Take this hate
Hate is harsh
Rather rid it than to bake
Rather drink then to bake
Burns in my chest never go away
Tired of backstabbers
A ***** to smile then smize
Plotting little ***
Wish I could've seen your warning signs
Tired of these pills and automobiles
I'm tired
Tired of being used
Treated like a pawn in your game of chess
I'm a diamond
Queen
Treasure
Chest
Guarding the king that carries the dream
Holding the weapon
Though its unseen
But
EVERYTHING CHANGES
Things change
People change
Mistakes are made
People change
Tired of being kicked out of the "bond"
Tighter than infinity signs
Colder than 41 degrees below
Sweeter than a heart of purple
The isle of you never stopped
In a school of roses
Pedals dropped
Texas was posted
So she showed it
Yet in all of it
I'm really tired of playing fool
