Flashback to the days when we were kids
After school and house chores,
We used to come together on the street
With our canvases, to paint our dreams
And the kind of future we want to live

Regularly, we'll touch up our paintings
Inspire one another to make positive changes
Our future looked bright in our faces
We watched ourselves live through different life phases

One of my besties started doing wrong
Getting high and using drugs
His amazing painting fading before our eyes
Before we knew it, he was completely drawn

Looking at him today makes me cry
His situation is very dire
I hope he recovers from this snare
And be the man of his childhood painting
