Verse 1
I’m flippin’ through my middle school yearbook
Remember how it was back then, here, look
Remember back to those days
When all we used to do was play ball or play spades
Or holla at a babe, or spit a couple bars
But a lot of those friends are behind bars
Cause of dreams deferred, a voice never heard
Lack of parents in a sense and decaying innocence
Since they’re all chasing the cool
And the one-way system got ’em dropping out of school
Cause the teachers couldn’t reach ‘em so, so just delete ’em
And the problems in the class’ll get depleted
But what about them and the problems they adopted
Or how deep down they always wanted to be doctors
That could’ve got A’s, but got F’s
So now they get O’s wit a bulletproof vest
And invest, in the trafficking from Maryland
That got their brains fried now their minds like a terrapin
Slow and their lives keep barrelin’
Too many of them friends on coke and on heroin it’s crazy

Hook (MJ Santos +[Apollo])
Looking to the sky saying God please save me
I don’t know why but this life is crazy
Every other day any thing phase me
I don’t know why but this life is crazy
[This life is] crazy [this life is] crazy
[This life is, this life is, this life is] crazy
[This life is] crazy [this life is] crazy
[This life is, this life is, this life is] crazy

Verse 2
Remember love letters in the lockers, butterflies got ya
Mind in a trance trying ask her to the dance
But time advanced, lust prevailed
And somewhere along the lines females became retail
Status symbols on the arm of the cool
Now she’s stripping, sipping liquor, lick her girl, she’s a jewel
But look in her eyes, her life is a mess
Nobody cared about her mind, they only cared about her breasts
And I just met this chick in the club
But, come to find out she’s fifteen and on drugs
And I just couldn’t fathom how it was
When her friend says guys like girls that give it up
So she’s a slut for attention
But we can only hope for divine intervention
Cause her friend grew boobs first
So, naturally she got used first
By random dudes that met by the sea
Up in an SUV getting STDs
And the rest you see, is a life down hill
Couple drug rehabs but she’ll do it till she killed
And she did

Hook

Verse 3
Growing up I seen death on the news, and that just ain’t cool
But who would’ve thought that it would ever come true
For people I knew, of childhood portraits
Now they’re in the courtyard morgue with rigor mortis
It happens so fast and incautious
Now I’m thinking bout the future getting nauseous
Cause every morning we would watch power rangers
Now we all mourning at powerful arrangements
How is life arranged, how is this real?
I just seen him yesterday where is he for real?
We used to chill like tomorrow ain’t a favor
I mean last time I seen ’em, said “Ill see u later”
But I’m talking about a dude that I knew for a decade
And I’m only 2 of them old, I’m feelin’ betrayed
By fate, God how could you take
Somebody so young, somebody so great
We used to play sand box now were putting boxes in the sand
And God I don’t understand
Why I’m here and they’re not, I’m hearing they got
A better place to live but I wanna live with ‘em, this is crazy

Hook

Outro
I want give a special acknowledgement to those that we’ve lost
Let us pray for their families and friends
Rest in peace Jordan Pyecha, Rest in peace Ashley Champion, Rest in peace Hunter Montahari, Rest in peace Justin Lee Toliver, Rest in peace Eve Marie Carson, Rest in peace Annie McCleod,
And God willing this list won’t get any longer, though I fear it shall
But let us give thanks for each new day we receive in this crazy life
