Hardly months,
and it seems like you were never here…
A breath from my lungs...
As I stare into the scenes of this bitter air
You brought out the best in me
A mysterious mixture of shenanigans and selflessness
Only you, out of the rest…could see
What I felt for you was tantamount to cheating
I fell for you bcoz’ you reminded me
of something paramount I was seeking
Sharing our pedigrees like War Stories
I remember those times and your advice, Souljah…
Caring about my debris in life...
I’m sorry I never saw the signs of your demise
…So far…
I call this Candle here Badbye
Seeing how your closest peers
Just go by after your passing,
gives me a bad vibe…
But everything soon comes full circle…
Coz’ every King must overcome loop hurdles
Souljah on, Shero…!!
I remember how you used to
tell me to sober up before…
