cousins
(october 2017)
my cousin's 25
and he's struggling to stay alive
he's living with grandma and that's okay
all his friends are jokes
'cuz he's the only one that's out there making money
we share a laugh over a smoke
that spills out from his mouth
he tells me what he's been up to
he's got everything planned in his head
well now he's sold his cars
can't drive to work no more
but he seems to be doing just fine
'cause he's on his grind, he's wasting no time
i'm just hoping that he is feeling alright
a storm lives inside his eyes
a boulder rests on his back
stays strong after everything
i just wish i could be like that
when i'm feeling hopeless again
always down on my luck again
he tells me "IF U EVER NEED ANYTHING JUST TELL ME"
and WE GO OUR SEPARATE WAYS............
