For Them 

By-Benzell Lang

Internally lost internally found 

Heart my sleeve my nigga ash it then put the blunt on the ground  

I want to spit that shit that sounds so profound 

And get all of my dogs out of the pound 

I gotta get out of this town 

My emotions taking over  and I can't control it 

Poker I'm folding the parties lit but I'm surely not going 

Playing hot potato with life cause it's out of my hand 

Better watch who you're around they'll spray you right where you stand 

I still can't get over what they did to you Nate 

I think things happen for a reason but I can't figure your fate 

I can't help but be mad they I ain't come to the wake 

Joking in class in seventh grade I still remember those days 

Those were the best ones I wasn't worried about trying to fit in 

Or what girl I'm trying to get in 

we were just kids out here living 

And now a song for you is written 

I know you up there and you listen 

 

So next time I'm feeling low 

I'll think about you man and I will play this song 

And know that everything happens for a reason

 and these emotions change like the seasons 

But your spirit lives on 

Your spirit lives on 

Telling all these demons they need to go and get gone 

I'm trying to live my life like the lord planned for me 

I'm falling down but I know the lord will stand for me 

 

But time don't wait for no man 

One day it's winter the next the sun is melting down the snowman 

That's just how this shit go fam 

Thoughts of kiddish days I'm watching dragon ball z and I wanna be gohan

Lately my nigga life has been crazy 

I feel like I'm stuck up in the fire and only the lord can come save me

People think I got it together cause I drive a Mercedes 

 That's just the product of my parents blessing their babies 

I don't treat them how I should and i take them for granted 

Just want to be alone and walk away when they're ranting 

But I appreciate it all I need to show it in the things that I'm doing 

Want to be more like Reuben I wish that I could live through him 

I watched him and admired how he treated these people 

It's like when God was making him he didn't add the human nature of evil 

I wish I could bring you back like your life had a sequel 

But the lord knows better than I I just hope your rest is peaceful 

 

So next time I'm feeling low 

I'll think about you man and I will play this song 

And know that everything happens for a reason

 and these emotions change like the seasons 

But your spirit lives on 

Your spirit lives on 

 

Rest in peace to my best friends 

I don't get to see them again 

But I know they watch over me 

From above I know they can see 

Everything that we go through man

 

I got so much on my mind 

I swear it's getting to me 

I wake up in the middle of the night 

Look into the mirror tell me what do you see 

What do you see 

I don't even know no more 

Can't even find my core no more 

Don't think the birds soar no more 

Sick of this but my voice ain't sore no more 

Where do I go from here 

Where do I go from here 

If I got you lord what do I fear 

Looking through the crystal but this life ain't crystal clear

No this life ain't crystal clear 

Failing is the biggest thing I fear

I swear this life ain't crystal clear for me 

I just hope that you will steer for me
