Cortez

Cortez, theyre just running through my mind

Like track and field junior year

You want to cyph before class, but i don’t think that’s for the best

Look in your ****** eyes, but you had to change into sweats

I remember that afternoon, it’s in my mind all the time

You gave me your hoodie and went home like routine

Snuck out the back door and forgot to take me

 

White Cortez, but they’re ***** on the sides

Dirt on your pants, but never did you mind

You’re so versatile,

how you build up your walls and know when to break them down ?

At 16, i never would’ve guessed youd actually ditch town

A city on lights, like do you know what you’re leaving?

Persuasion and ideas, you know I’m still here waiting

Connection is rare, and with you, it was waning

 

Black Cortez, cleaned it up on the sides

Fade into dark Caesar, never did i mind

You smelled like axe and gelato, you probably taste so sweet

In my head, there’s a sword fight where two ends never meet

I hope you’re passing your tests, or training your chest

I still have your hoodie and i wear it here and there

I washed it so many times, but i didn’t think you’d care

 

SEP, where they prayed for me,

I remember you spoke to me about your goals

You told me you wanted to have a relationship with God

I told you i wanted love, i was a fraud

Spending every day of the year, you were mine

you were a physical manifestation of everything that was bound to be

A physical manifestation of everything attracted to she

 

Classic Cortez, lit up and you ran into class

Never expected you to fall so fast

You could roam the earth and be who you are

I just don’t want you to ever run too far
