Honda Coupe Confessions

[Verse 1] We was kids on the corner, pockets full of loose change Thought the world was only ours, chasing after small fame Same block, same dream, same dirt on our shoes Never read the warnings hiding in the nightly news Fast life, fast cash, tryna climb out the pain You was my brother through the struggle, riding out in the rain I was blind to the storm that was brewing in you I just saw the ride-or-die, not the darker side too [Pre-Chorus] We hit them late nights, chasing after dirty pay Laughing like we’d see tomorrow every single day Didn’t see the cracks showing in your heavy eyes Didn’t hear the broken pieces underneath the lies [Chorus] Now I picture you alone in that Honda coupe Red and blue in the mirror when they made that move You was running from the sirens, from the life we chose Pulled the trigger on yourself, that’s the way it goes I’m the godfather to a child that I never met Carrying a promise that I never can forget Got your ghost in the rearview every time I move Ever since you blew your brains in that Honda coupe [Verse 2] We both served up poison on that cracked concrete Telling moms we had a job, wiping dirt off our feet You was louder, you was wild, you was quick with your hands Always knew you loved chaos more than following plans But I trusted you deep, like my blood, like my name Didn’t see the hidden bodies buried under your shame All the girls that we knew, all the stories untold I just thought you was broken, never saw what you stole [Pre-Chorus] Then the whispers hit the block after you were gone All the tears, all the anger, all the things you’d done Every secret spilling out like a bloodstain spread I was standing in the middle, screaming in my head [Chorus] Now I picture you alone in that Honda coupe Red and blue in the mirror when they made that move You was running from the sirens, from the life we chose Pulled the trigger on yourself, that’s the way it goes I’m the godfather to a child that I never met Carrying a promise that I never can forget Got your ghost in the rearview every time I move Ever since you blew your brains in that Honda coupe [Bridge] How you hurt all those women that we both called friends? How I never saw the monster hiding in your skin? I was standing right beside you when you crossed that line I was thinking you was loyal while you shattered lives Now I’m praying for your baby growing up alone With a father as a shadow and a broken home Do they know about the pain that you left behind? Do they know I’m out here trying to rewrite my mind? [Chorus] Now I picture you alone in that Honda coupe Red and blue in the mirror when they made that move You was running from the sirens, from the life we chose Pulled the trigger on yourself, that’s the way it goes I’m the godfather to a child that I never met Carrying a promise that I never can forget Got your ghost in the rearview every time I move Ever since you blew your brains in that Honda coupe [Outro] In that Honda, Honda, echo in my brain Can’t wash off all the dirt, can’t wash off the stain You was brother, you was stranger, both at the same time Left me holding all the questions, tryna draw the line To the child that you left, I just pray they break through Different road, different heart, different point of view I’m still driving through the past, tryna find my truth Haunted by the night you died in that Honda coupe
