Okay, a co-worker, who some may remember clowned folks on my message/bored? A while back, has recently suffered a tragedy. Without going into depth, she recently lost her longtime boyfriend (and Howard alum) unexpectedly in a tragic accident, and had to see him buried on her birthday. Because I know a few people who are close to me are going through some things, I figured I’d write this joint for Renita (did I spell that right?) in her time of loss, and let anybody else who’s feelin’ it right now gather from this as well.
Please pardon me if the flow is a little broken, but I didn’t write this to a beat…sooooo, yeah, go easy. I’m no Sean Carter.

I’m sorry for your pain cause he couldn’t stay long
I know you’ll have weak times but you should stay strong
Know it burns like napalm, I heard the good die young
Heavy in the game, he’ll never get a Cy Young
Let the past keep you warm like a quilted sweater
And through whatever type of weather know it will get better
Still whenever you get the rush and you need to cry
Tears cleanse the soul, never hold ‘em inside
This is a lesson too, God’s testin’ you
Cause trials and tribulations bring out the best in you
Probably still in a zone where it’s hard to laugh
Good or bad shorty cherish all the times you had
And when the lights go low, it’s just you and your thoughts
This pain ain’t in vain, maintain faith at all costs
We don’t have to understand, we simply must believe
Exhale, shorty breathe, through He we can achieve
