Move On
The Wildhearts Lyrics

If I go on my way without you
Without you, my life's path would look so different and uncertain.

Woooahh where would I go
I'd feel so lost and unsure without you by my side.

I'm having flashbacks
I keep remembering past events that still haunt me.

Let me relax my dome
I need to calm down and clear my head.

My whole joints blown another soldier won't be coming home
I'm mourning the loss of another person who sacrificed their life for a better future.

Parkside is gonna miss you black foreva
You'll be remembered forever in our community, and your absence will be deeply felt.

Ties will never sever
Our bond is unbreakable, even in death.

You died tryin to live better
You were striving for a better life, even though it cost you your own.

Did what you had to do and now you deceased
You did what you had to do to survive, and now you're no longer with us.

I hope you livin in peace don't even stress that beef
I hope you're at peace in the afterlife, and no longer worrying about conflicts.

Go head and sleep count your blessings return to the essence
Rest easy and appreciate the good things in life, as you return to the spiritual realm.

Everytime I see your fam word is bon I feel your presence
Your family is a reminder of you, and I feel your presence whenever I'm with them.

Its all over bearing witness like jehovah
I'm seeing the aftermath of your passing, and it feels like a divine revelation.

ain't nothing strange unless you watch your range like a rover
Things won't seem unusual or surprising if you're always aware of your surroundings.

Follow me son, what's done is done, forgot it
Let's move on from the past and focus on the present.

God bless his soul while his bodys underground rotting
Even though your physical body is decaying, I pray for your soul to rest in peace.

We won't forget you let a brother try to dis you
We'll always remember you, and if anyone tries to disrespect you, there will be consequences.

I swear to god he better have a blade and plus a pistol
Anyone who disrespects you better be well-armed, because they'll face retaliation.

Forever miss you got babies that want to kiss you
We'll always miss you, and there are young children who wish they could still be with you.

Shining like crystal, and at your wake I pass your ma a tissue
You were a bright and valuable person, and at your funeral, I offer comfort to your mother.

He was only thirteen when he burst his splean
He was so young when he died from a fatal gunshot wound.

The shot was fatal
The bullet caused fatal damage to his body.

He died right there upon the kitchen table BLAOW
He died immediately after being shot, collapsing onto the kitchen table.

It happened all alone in his house
No one was there to help or witness his death.

Not a creature was stirrin, not a roach or a mouse
The house was completely silent and uninhabited except for him.

And I was just with him, playin Sega
I was with him right before he died, doing something mundane and innocent.

And buggin on the horn with some honeys like a couple of playas
We were having fun and flirting with girls on the phone like we were players.

And now he's gone
He's no longer alive, and I can't believe he's really gone.

I'm speakin on my man K-Shawn
I'm referring to my friend K-Shawn, who died a tragic death.

Forever on my mind mentally as I kick my song
I still think about him all the time and express my grief through music.

He used to talk about the box in the closet
He would mention the gun his father kept hidden in the closet.

Where his pops kept a glock and all the safety deposits
His father stored his gun and other valuable items in the closet safe.

Now he stressed, fiendin just to hold some heat
He became anxious and desperate to possess a gun because of his father's influence.

I guess it came from all the stories that he heard in the street
He was influenced by the dangerous stories he heard from people in his neighborhood.

I can't explain it, its ill how we used to feel
It's hard to describe, but we both felt a certain way about guns and violence.

I used to tell him stop playin wit that chrome-piece steel
I would advise him to not play with guns, specifically the silver-colored ones.

He never listened, and now my man is missin in action
He didn't take my advice, and now he's missing or possibly dead.

I blame it on the fools in the street that's always blastin
I attribute his downfall to the reckless people in the neighborhood who frequently use guns.

Ah-yo my dreams are filled with terror
I have nightmares that deeply disturb me.

Shots gettin nearer
Hearing gunshots makes me fearful, like they're getting closer and closer.

Paralyzed and right in front of my eyes its gettin clearer
I'm frozen and can't move, and the danger feels more and more imminent.

A tragedy resulted from a brothers bad scratch
A life-altering tragedy occurred because someone was trying to make a quick profit illegally.

Tried to rob a deli but the gat he had was raggy
He attempted to rob a store, but the gun he used was old and faulty.

Bullets sprayed, ricocheted and automatically
The gunshots were chaotic, bouncing off surfaces and causing more destruction.

Hit a bystander, young girl named Amanda
An innocent bystander, a little girl named Amanda, was hit by a stray bullet.

The slugs in her back by this cat buggin no crap
The bullets entered her back, undoubtedly fired by someone who didn't care about harming others.

Another rugrat, somebody tell me where the loves at
Another child has died tragically, and I question where love and compassion have gone in society.

Was only seven already on her way to heaven
She was so young when her life was cut short, but I believe she's in a better place now.

She reached her day and now she won't see her wedding
She won't get to experience growing up, falling in love, and getting married like most people do.

Some might say that this was destined or something
Some people might argue that her death was predetermined by fate or some higher power.

But her parents only had one child and now they left with nothing
This child was the only hope and joy for her parents, and now they're left with overwhelming grief and emptiness.

Book all that flix and when they daughter was six
They took many photos and videos of their daughter when she was young, around six years old.

Before they moved from the bricks and got caught up in the mix
They left the dangerous area they lived in previously, but unfortunately their daughter was still caught up in the destructive environment.

They thought things would get better now they stressed forever
They believed their situation would improve, but now they're stuck in a painful and hopeless situation.

They last vision was image of a blood-soaked sweater
Their final memory of their daughter alive is seeing her wearing a garment covered in blood from her fatal injury.
