SNOW by Tha Soloist

I know you tired of the fighting
know you tired of the arguing
Barging in the bar for more alcohol swallowing
The bottles in your hand and the coke is on the table
Broke and insecure
searching for a way to make it through
And even though I don't drink
I don't think that really matters
I'm just writing you a letter
I too fight these inner battles
Dinner's on the table
Food for thought; I bought a plateful
You used to be playful
Whatever happened to my little angel?
Now she smoking meth
Losing teeth she used to rock a smile
that lit up the whole room
Baby giving up, shit is wild
I know you fed up with this life
but keep ya head up through the trials
I heard you got a pimp
I heard he slapped you on the strip
Sold your body for the pipe
and I ain't talking bout some dick
Yeah, it's funny when it isn't in the fam
till you look into her eyes
and feel the pain, but it's out my hands

I demanded to see change
but she had some other plans
She ran away from the crib
Her mother hit me on the gram
I told her I ain't seen you in a couple weeks
She had trouble in the house
Your father used to beat you on the street
I wish that I could make it work
but you afraid, you say you made for dirt
Remember when you stayed in church?
Now the only time you pray
is when they make you hurt
I heard you got the sickness
and as God is my witness
Don't let me see that nigga with the fitted
that transmitted to these bitches
They never gave a shit
but you can always pay a visit
I ain't mean to tell your biz
But im just desperate for a miracle
I reminisce on those nights under moonlight
Looking at the stars, all along you was too bright
but sometimes addiction is stronger than intelligence
Stronger than the hopes and the dreams
so you let it win
Irrelevant to say it, but you're always vacant
Aloof to the ways of the world, it was dangerous
gullible, naive, I ain't believe you'd be engaging
From paging in the 90's
to selling cellys in the basement
Growing up poor, now you staying in a teli
Food stamps helped fill your belly
Tell me whatever happened to the girl I used to know
I saw your big bro
he said me you pawned his Rolex for some dough
Go get the paper, look across the street
You used to be my neighbor
now I don't know where you be
The ambulance arrived, you overdosed inside the kitchen
your kids were fast asleep while you passed
Now I'm missing the times that we had
back in grammar school and high school
You used to give me milk and peanut butter/jelly too
Now I don't know what to do
I'm fucked up by the circumstance

We used to dance in the snow
and make angels on the ground, yo

We used to dance in the snow
and make angels on the ground, yo

Life was never easy
nobody said it would be
My eyes seen the worst
but I still found a way to stay alert
and did my very best to rise from the ashes
though my mind holds this madness
I never fold under pressure with the atlas
Carrying the weight of the world on my back
I still manage
I just wish you could've done the same
(Shit is tragic, damn kid)
Sometimes I think about the days we used to kick it
Getting lifted off the Mary Jane
You always said that I was gifted
You copped my MPC, just for me, I was mad happy
The day you lost ya daddy
you wanted to end it all, sadly
Glad we had what we had
and spent time in the past
This life moves fast
I guess we gotta make the best of it before we clash
with the Grim Reaper one last time before he grabs
our frail hand, sand pass through the hourglass
I hope you see tomorrow through the clouds of forever
and shine on my face with the hopes of great weather
I remember

We used to dance in the snow
and make angels on the ground, yo

We used to dance in the snow
and make angels on the ground, yo

We used to dance in the snow
and make angels on the ground, yo

We used to dance in the snow
and make angels on the ground, yo
