My Friend

Living in a place unknown,
he tried to explain himself through his rap flow,
he wasn't necessarily alone,
but sometimes he could hear his past echo.

Mom and dad giving away their roles to others,
their experiences nothing like Cali's summer weather,
unstable connections breaking them apart,
but their child was too strong, he never fell apart.

Until he found his first love, weakening his heart.
Until he dropped out of school, weakening his mind.

But he never needed much, he had us by his side,
even when his love fled and his heart bled,
we walked by his side, sharing each stride.
Looking out for one another, like blood brothers,
his heart and mind strengthened like no others.

No matter what anyone says, even if they clown him for his stutter,
his heart beats strong and steady.

Because that's his only flaw,
the rest none his fault.
