I’m not sad about the fact that we failed
I’m disappointed of the fakeness that unveiled
I held you up to standards set so high
But you couldn’t even see the pressure you could apply
You could set the world on fire
Use your intelligence to create and inspire
It’s sad to see a beautiful soul surrender
To the fetishes, the vices, and all the splendor
Of all the worldly things sent to distract us
Trying to tell everyone your worth, nigga that’s pretentious
Caught up in all the hype
Forgot you could be the next prototype
You’re blending right in when you could be a lot better
But learning you was more pointless than a chain letter
I should’ve kept you in that angelic light
The one where you the winner, the white knight
You were able to save society
Instead you’re out here battling sobriety
You should be the one paving new ways
Inspiring kids and leading the strays
Showing them exactly what it takes
And teaching them to move on beyond their mistakes
That everyone deserves a chance in this game
But the man got to you, what a shame
