Dear Friend

I could tell James
 I could tell you
 I could tell people that he never even knew
 I can tell it won't be the same what a crazy couple days
 Man its heavy that he's buried so soon
 Barely made youth
 Renegade crew
 Fuck man I wanna pray that it aint true
 Got me reminicing on the days when we little and we played
 And the kiddies in the city both grew
 Memories I don't know where ima start
 Firstly I remember all the birthdays in the park
 Back when we were rollin with our brothers
 Wish I told em' that I love em' but I didn't now it's tearing me apart
 Staring at a dark place
 Man it's hard when your heart aches
 Brother know I love ya till your last day
 Now you travel star gates too with that scarface dude
 Up in heaven but to get there had to part ways
 After clubbing I just wondered where you went
 Yelling see ya later but you never told me when
 Brother don't forget say I love you to your friends
 Cause you never know if you'll be seeing them again
 Be a better friend I wish I'd given him a call
 Now he's in the morgue
 Can't tell him anymore
 Cherish every memory can't forget him when he's gone
 Hope that his legacy will never be ignored
 Woke up and I hear them cries
 Hey buddy better clear them eyes
 We might shed a tear sometimes
 What you gon' do when a dear friend dies
 Mix tears with the beer and wine
 It's weird you're not here at night
 Now feel that I fear goodbyes
 How you gon' deal when a dear friend dies
 Letters wrote on a plaque
 But they won't ever let us know where he's at
 I could go tell him that a bro got his back
 But it won't help him through a covid attack
 I could trade, hoping that I go through the pain
 But I know James won't hope for the same
 Know that Saint Peter better open the gate
 For that brave brother they've chosen to take
 Tell it to a god like hey why
 Would you wanna take my mates life?
 Never gonna know brother when we're gonna go
 But I bet he would of said okay fine
 This is gonna be my day I'm
 Sorry then that I can't say bye
 Letter to the bros always better than a rose
 Send a message to ya breddas don't waste time
 Late night
 Had a great ride
 Candle in the sky and you know he burnt bright
 Learning that to die is our only birth right
 While I'm yearning for a life that just went and blurred by
 Memories of the ways you done made it worthwhile
 Went and lifted weights and you made it worldwide
 Then there's footy days getting up at first light
 And how your dad danced when you scored your first try
 Oh man I know
 That'll be with me everywhere I go
 I can still feel it when I'm deep down low
 Memories of him livin Vida Lo
 I don't wan' tell him when I'm in my grave
 I don't wan' play that amazing grace
 I just wan' tell him that I miss my mate
 Alot I wan' say but it's way too late
 Woke up and I hear them cries
 Hey buddy better clear them eyes
 We might shed a tear sometimes
 What you gon' do when a dear friend dies
 Mix tears with the beer and wine
 It's weird your not here at night
 Now feel that I fear goodbyes
 How you gon' deal when a dear friend dies
 Hey brah, give us a call back, cheers
