[INTRO] To lose close friends You have to go through it To understand how it feels (To understand how it feels) It's not what anybody wants in life But life & death's the definition of real (The definition of real) [Verse 1] Trust me, I know a lot about life itself All the things that I've been through Just me, myself, without no help Is what made me who I am today A good person, a great father Losing friends made me wanna give up I kinda thought about it, but I didnt bother, nah I just, kept to myself Cause I needed some time to figure it out I had to keep it together And focus on life, try to even it out Put yourself in my shoes, try to see what I'm bout This is my life and I'm living it out Shout out to my brothers, much love and respect We're all here today, but could be gone the next [Chorus] In this life we live (we live) We lose people to death (to death) But at the same time, Theres a baby somewhere taking their first breath (first breath) To have a son, and lose friends, I know how that feels (how that feels) Life and death, Thats the definition of real (of real) To lose close friends You have to go through it To understand how it feels (To understand how it feels) It's not what anybody wants in life But life & death's the definition of real (The definition of real) To lose close friends You have to go through it To understand how it feels (To understand how it feels) It's not what anybody wants in life But life & death's the definition of real (The definition of real) [Verse 2] Rest in peace to my bros who are no longer here, man, I do this for them When I hear their names, I can still feel the pain, thats deep within Like its only been a day ago, but thats the way it goes Life seems slow when you lose friends, or somebody that was close Seeing them caskets closed, is when it hurt the most It made me sad, it made my mind go weak So I picked up the pen and the pad Wanted to kill every beat Headphones on, with the song on repeat Trust me, thats all I would need Even when you're gone, you'll forever live on I just gotta stay strong, for my family and me [Chorus] In this life we live (we live) We lose people to death (to death) But at the same time, Theres a baby somewhere taking their first breath (first breath) To have a son, and lose friends, I know how that feels (how that feels) Life and death, Thats the definition of real (of real) To lose close friends You have to go through it To understand how it feels (To understand how it feels) It's not what anybody wants in life But life & death's the definition of real (The definition of real) To lose close friends You have to go through it To understand how it feels (To understand how it feels) It's not what anybody wants in life But life & death's the definition of real (The definition of real)
