lyrics

[Brandon Allday]

99 the best rapper i knew i went to visit in jail
had a beat tape said epl
heard a story about him fucking with a broomstick
they say pain make better music
she was not an artist he was
a mix between crazy and bizzy
i've been both the memory with me
i had a line or two my man laughed in my face
just a dj then 4 hours on the freeway then
7 years if he did rape her
wouldn't wish it on a soul if it don't break her
it took a piece won't be back soon
if you see me around here i'm just passing through

[Chorus]


[Brandon Allday]

2001 this chemistry teacher i had
took a girl a third his age pick a spot the world don't change
strongest violation exercise of control
don't know what was in his mind he had a child of his own
so why take another greedy or selfish
she can't offer you shit needy please help him
most weekends our family went to church
he was there with his rare they missed
i hope he's locked somewhere if he did rape her
wouldn't wish it on a soul if it don't break her
it took a piece wont be back soon
if you don't see me here tomorrow you know what to do
same year the best rapper i knew
came by the perpich studio where zach went to school
han put us on the stage at the red sea
felt real good we didn't rap but he felt we should
before the soundman got famous
in a kennel, he kept his woman's daughter in the basement
claimed she had 3 square 4x4
sarah white grabbed the mic before she moved to new york
if you come back bring kayvon
a song to every memory in a blink they gone
my brother zach played me the melody
i had the beat in my head all day long

[Chorus]
