"Smoke & Ashes"

"Mama cried when they lowered caskets, now her smile’s a ghost / I light a blunt, blow the pain up—watch it swirl with the smoke / Used to laugh with my brother, now his name’s tattooed in my throat / These pills turn my tears into acid—I can’t cry, but I wrote…" "I’m kissin’ the flame, tryna feel somethin’ real / Shorty, you see these scars? They still ain’t healed / The reaper’s my shadow, but I’m too numb to kneel / So I mix Henny with heartbreak and call it a meal." "Smoke in my lungs, death in my veins / I’m screamin’ your name through the pourin’ rain / We cry the same tears, bleed the same pain / Let the music hold us when the drugs don’t tame…" "You lost your sis to the streets, I lost my dawg to the blade / Now we slow-dance in the silence, tryna outrun the grave / Your tears taste like Memphis rain, mix with the ash off my J / They say God’s watchin’—well, tell Him we’re stuck in the fray." "I seen death wear designer, it don’t care if you pray / I write hymns for the broken, let my voice crack on stage / If I die young, just play this—let the bassline replay / How we laughed, how we bled, how we loved anyway…" "We ain’t angels, just survivors with flames in our chest / Let the chorus heal you, let my pain be your rest / If the world don’t hear us, we’ll scream it in the next / Pour one for the homies… exhale, and forget."
