🎵 Farewell // by Mike Firm

1 ContributorFarewell Lyrics [Verse 1] My mind is a weapon, I'm lamenting for the hurt Condolences to the victims in a world full of hopelessness Wishing it were all okay, but it's a struggle everyday Reminiscing of all those that have passed away Asking every fucking night, why did you have to leave? Please comeback is what shifts into all our sleep Considering to move along, but you always arrive How many more hours until we suffocate and die? Rather dark and terrifying it may seem Depressing, how about all these kids? Left without a chance, questions on racks stacks on decks Ignored by a society that keeps no promises Socioeconomics I don't give a fuck Give them a purpose worth fighting for, not a bag and pipe Drugs, sex, that Section 80s craze I'm gravitating towards that conscious, 90s, 00s bass Not pop fantasies and suburban fucks blind to the chase of the cheddar It's not good no homie, not how it works Doesn't take a genius to comprehend Never claiming I'm from the streets, but smart enough to understand That there are people out here dying While you revolve around these White people problems or that precious iPhone On the other hand a family of four is starving for that whole College students, with these destructive loans Fathers, mothers, siblings hustlin' for those paper bills Teenagers contemplating to self-inflict Many dealing with guilt, fire in their souls Looking for some hope, falling apart At this point, is violence the only remedy? Don't ever let it be [Verse 2] Sit down and reflect on our short time on this Earth Wandering about the timeless routine that kills And some times I wish, I was trippin' Searching for the gold, cash, and diamond earrings A mirage full of emptyness, void of any feelings Amplify the madness, only to come out screaming Against a feat so disastrous beckoning forgiveness Setting my eyes on the prize, breaking the compliancy Whether I'm perfect is not the issue at hand You best check yourself before false opinions Of a good kid in a mad world desperately clinging For some O2 to breathe, destroy all humans Or not, fine by me, but screw this self-loathing Sought some sort of peace in this broken record on repeat The same damn music One day it'll stop, but it never will I start, commence, on god, and I will finish it From day one to the bloody fucking end Beginning of the new, higher than rap Theme song for those with no voice Time passing with no choice Hearts that bleed from so much damage Asking for death instead of a road to redemption Lies from those loved, love from those girls Death due to fate, vices made of cold Magicians without soul, seeking a god that I don't know Friends that got my back, and those that break Can't recognize the fake from the truth, dealt with snakes Life of hope, with no ropes Pan the fight, fear of noise Heart with emotions, let them go Lost in, no one found Stupid drunk love, full of flight Roses for the beauty, too many thorns Scumbags torn, lovers with the worst Stereotype different And I hate seeing At this point, am I a system losing control? The weak surrender, but I'm not done dealing [Verse 3] Confusion from contradictions of a courageous intellect Seeking assurance from philosophers unspoken Misery might love company, but this is what I have to say Every single breath Every single day I clawed for some sort of relief when you left No tears, no breakdown, all I did was wait Memories held onto, reflecting on reasons why you left us Farewell to the man that raised me And the aunt and cousin I visited rarely Something kept me from grieving, I guess I'm strong New life to carry without the three Our family misses you The responses not too similar Alcohol for the other keeps the demons at the gate Occasional outbursts, weeped from her Stuck watching these stills, pictures, and these videos Tapes of birthdays past, embrace from the beam Ultralight fortune seems to be lucky, we're straight I graduated, got my degree Pushed on, worked with some kids 41 rascals, hoping they don't go through the same shit Never been happier, confusion aside Aspiring for something larger, what's my next steps? Music, education, math magician for my peers I'll figure out my heritage and roots, and fuck that original Deadbeat good for nothing blood speaks with my sister We don't keep in touch, even though I do miss her Threes I count lives, all on these songs Look at the weak cry Pray one day you'll be strong Fighting for your rights, even when you're wrong And hope that at least one of you sing about me when I'm gone Now am I worth it? Did I put enough work in? [Outro] There's a logic to these rubies Diamonds in the rough Dot on sight, combined in the heat A visionary's beat Tell me... tell me Would you sing about me? Even... when I'm dead and gone? I was dying of thirst until I found myself Lost in the shadows, rising from the waters I know... I know that I got it if I Do what I got to do to get by And they wander why I never get high (get high, get high) My mom will make it in America My mom will make it in America, yeah My mom will make it in America I swear... I swear
