Walk wit me

IP:

I dropped this OM a few months ago, but it didn't get much feedback so I'mma do this again


This is a lil topical joint I jus came up wit about my Grandfather's death



I dropped the phone and sat in silence can’t believe this is real
This can’t be anything but life dishin another raw deal
No appeals, seems so unreal, so I pinched my left arm
Squoze it tight and broke the skin…yeah the shit did some harm
So I sighed and dried my tears cuz I’m still in reality
Couldn’t rise up to my feet…not in the right mentality
So I just sat there for a minute still shocked in disbelief
Wish my moms would come and hold me so I could feel some relief
.
.
But wait a second u cats don’t even know the story
So I’mma break it down for ya and give God all the glory
.
.
.
I’ll skip back about 5 minutes…yeah right there’s about it
Sorry…had to press rewind…now we’re back lickety split
1:37 in the a.m. the phone rings…but something isn’t right
The tone is agitated as if expressing contrite
I awake sluggishly with wintergreen scope on my breath
Unaware that this phone call was concerning a death
“Hello” is what I said in a deep raspy tone
“Is this some kin to Johnny T I’m speaking with on this phone?”
All I could think is Oh my God, but “I’m his grandson” is what I said
“Well I regret to inform you this but…your grandfather is dead”
.
.

Fast forward to the wake where mom cries with revere
Makes it clear that she’s distraught that her dad is not here
It cut my family so deep…the scar left was so severe
Everybody broken down cryin, I’m bein strong sheddin no tears
I know its o.k. for men to cry but, I’ll do it on my own time
Cuz right now my family needs me…life ain’t seemin sublime
But God brought me through the pain…lifted me to my feet
Showed me Johnny T in a dream helped me to be complete
Told me don’t worry bout gramps I got this under control
Follow my word, live ya life right and BEHOLD
.
.
Then he opened up the heavens and allowed me to look
“You’ll be granted eternal life when we close the pages of ya book”
