September
Shotta Spence Lyrics

I wish heaven had a hotline
I wish I could still talk to my friend who has passed away

So we could chop it up like old times
So we could catch up and talk like we used to when my friend was alive

You my bro for life man, death couldn't do us part
My friendship with my friend was so strong that even death cannot separate us

They say good things don't last
People commonly believe that positive things in life are short-lived

I heard that death don't hurt
Some people believe that death does not cause physical pain

They say the bad die last
People commonly believe that those who do bad things in life live longer

Oh they say the good go first
People commonly believe that those who do good things in life die younger

You left in September
My friend passed away in the month of September

I remember when, September two-seven
I remember the exact date when my friend passed away, which was on September 27th

10:27PM, the phone in my left hand
I remember the exact time when I received the news of my friend's passing, which was at 10:27 PM

I heard all this news that I could not even believe in
I was in disbelief when I heard about my friend's passing

I called your phone twice, it kept on ringing
I tried calling my friend's phone after hearing about their passing but there was no answer

I never though you would be leaving before
I never expected my friend to pass away at such a young age

I said Goodbye and kicked it with you again
I regret not spending more time with my friend before their passing

All of that time I spent grieving,
I spent a lot of time mourning my friend's passing

I found something within that pushed me harder to win
However, the grief inspired me to work harder and succeed in life

I heard familiar people, that I had once respected
I heard rumors about people connected to my friend's passing and it hurt me deeply

Where present in that vehicle, but say they ain't connected
People associated with my friend's passing claimed they were not involved in the incident

They swear they don't know nothing, but I know that's just the lawyers
I believe the people associated with my friend's passing are lying and trying to protect themselves

I don't believe they stories, my heart is too damn loyal
I am loyal to my friend's memory and do not trust the stories I am hearing about their passing

So I'll walk the distance for you, I'll do this music for you
I will honor my friend's life by pursuing music and success as tribute to them

I'll do this fly shit for you, these plans could not be foiled
I will not let anything stop me from achieving my goals in memory of my friend

I wish prayers could restore you, but if God needed you more than me
I wish that praying could bring my friend back to life, but if God wanted them more than me, I will abide by His decision

I'd be selfish asking for you
Asking for my friend to be returned to me would be selfish

I'd be foolish if I settled for something less than perfect
I will not compromise my goals and ambition for anything less than perfection

I'd be selfish not to go hard
I must work hard and succeed in life in honor of my friend's memory

I'd be selfish not to ball out for the
It would be selfish of me not to succeed and achieve great things for the memory of my friend

Name on the front and not the back of my Jersey
I will achieve success for myself but also represent my hometown as well

Since you been gone we became closer
I feel even closer to my friend since their passing

You done picked me up at my lowest
My friend helped me through tough times in life

You the only one could of known it
My friend was the only one who understood my struggles and how to help me through them

That I would grow up to be the coldest
My friend believed in me and knew that I would become successful in life

Everyone didn't even see it
Most people did not believe in me or my dreams like my friend did

You believed in me before I did
My friend had faith in me before I even believed in myself

Sometimes I wonder why He chose you
I question why God chose to take my friend away from me

Sometimes I wonder why they chose you
I wonder why someone would do something that would lead to my friend's untimely death

Sometimes I wonder what I'm gon' do
I worry about how I will move on and live my life without my friend

You the one that I looked up to man
My friend was a role model and someone I admired

Can't believe that you died by the tool man
I cannot believe that my friend passed away through violent means

Had to move that green just to make that green
I had to work hard to make money to achieve success and honor my friend's memory

If you live by the streets then you die by 'em
Living a dangerous lifestyle can lead to an early death

I got no more tears I got no more hate
I have accepted my friend's passing and let go of any negative emotions

But I still think about it when I lay down
However, I still think about my friend and their passing before I go to sleep
