Akajou David
One of them days where I don't see no clouds or see no rain
Must be the blunts and alcohol that helps conceal the pain
Been thinkin bout all type of shit, it's time to rearrange
Been livin life and takin time off from the fast lanes
Yeah
And McDaniel is my last name
That means that I got the wisdom to make it through all these last days
Yeah
I know they prayin for my last day
And if they ain't then I know they waiting for my last day
But I say f..ck em, cos I know that I could never trust em
I'd rather focus on my flow and put it on percussion
That type of song that makes you wanna have discussion
So thank me later cos you know that I'ma say it's nothin
I thought it helped to hold it in, but it really doesn't
I thought that life was full of wins, but it really wasn't
Remind myself of who I am through my Dad's substance
He always said to slow it down because he saw me rushin
Said smile more because he noticed I had interruptions
I promise Dad that I'ma make it through with your instructions…
Steppin it up because now I got my little sister
It's f..cked up she need her Dad, she need a father figure
When she feels down I lift it up helpin her reconfigure
And when she feels like givin up I make her reconsider
Yeah
She just like you, you know it's hella crazy
I know you gone but you still here, you livin through your babies
I know you'd be so proud to watch her grow into a lady
I see your face when I see hers, and so I see you daily
Yeah
Give anything just to see you daily
Thanks for the lessons they the shelter when my days get rainy
You be my justice all them times you see these demons bait me
Give me protection cos I know you see how much they hate me
I shoulda listened when you told me that this life is crazy
Took your advice when you told me not to join the navy
There's nothing that you've told me that I've ever taken vainly
We dropped your ashes in the ocean now you hella wavy
Damn…
Yeah
And there's so much that I wanna say
I saw you struggle just to make sure that we had a way
You trailblazed until you paved the pathway
Stood by my side and defended me til your last day
Yeah
2016 on the 10th of May
You booked a suite way up in heaven got that mainstay
I hope you got some room for me cos I'm on layaway
Sometimes I wanna visit just so I can breakaway
Yeah
And they say that I'm the new David
Eversince you left the family been segregated
Ain't got that glue to make us stick so we been isolated
Been dealing with my own shit man I been devastated
Been feelin faded so I had to get illuminated
Always said that you was proud, that kept me concentrated
I play it back and that's the shit that keeps me motivated
You're surely missed, I hope you know that you're appreciated
