I stood alone.. slowly shiverin' the breeze in my bones
Before the rough embedded layer.. I was feelin ya stone
The wind blew with the memories that past from my face
Across the shadowy horizon, I reflected and gazed
Held a grain of wheat chewin on the side of my lips
Sat amongst the Evergreen... reminisced as kids
I thought about the very day.. when you missed us.. ill.
On the block suckin eucalyptus.. frozen with chills
The fellas all thought in wonder why you couldnt be met
When in our tears heard you under.. the quiet was kept
Cognac was celebrated as I tilted my drink
Without you sittin next to me... I was unable to think
Watched the trails of the alcohol sink deep below
To where the sewers of the street keeps the filth redisposed
Of all the secrets that I hidden... you neva had known
These confessions were revealed and became to be shown
But what's the difference with me tellin you the evils I done
When all the daily tragic stories happened under the sun
But still.. I felt ya love.. it was tainted with us
The way life separated with us losing in touch
Much remembrance was done in commitment to you
Had your name across my shoulder, with a printed tattoo
Shady clouds tend to thicken... the skies turned gray
I wonder why when that happens... its the gloomiest day
Amongst the steps I be sittin at the front of my door
Why the happiness is gone... and our smiles no more
Half of us desert religion and the presence of Christ
While the other half still imagine fortunes of life
I sit before your tombstone... thinkin just how
As a product of environment...ya lifestyle was foul
We heard careless whispers.. and fled from that route
Had dependence to prevent to see our lives gone out
Puff a Swisher Sweet... the smoke was cloudin' my lungs
Turned the frequency as the voice of Marvin was sung
There you were... with a peace sign... flashin' your grin
Surrounded by ya closest neguhz in this picture you're in
Hung below the cross of Jesus on the wall in my room
Many times I said to you that I'll be meeting you soon
Cus you see... about our friendship... its broken in bond
And everyday when I awake... I dont believe that your gone
So when I stand before your grave.. I know i cant go on
Cus when I think about the past.. I ain no longer so strong
Got up.. dug my hands... reached into my coat
I was shiverin' in tears as my voice then choked
Hardly able to say my last words in this Earth
Before I join to meet you for its fullfillment of worth
I stood.. pulled the hammer... the stone broke in fragments..
The death now appeared as if it never really happened
Flipped my weapon around as my time came to be
Against a moment just before when its you I hope to see
Before I fell and collapsed... as death directed me
I touched the grave a last time...
and we both became free...
(The man collapses... and lies motionless face first beside a grave with crumbled fragments of stone lying about as police arrive with the caretaker pointing at the scene.)
