I hope you hear, I hope this reaches you, uh

All the money in the world, I can′t find where they sellin' timeOr a button that rewind, I′m just thinkin', sippin' this wine

Let me catch you up

It′s been some time, lets me catch you up, yeah, uh, fuck

I don′t know where to start

But somethin' told me, "Write this down and just speak from the heart"

It′s been 14 years since I found you all alone in the dark

But losin' you brought us together when it could′ve torn us apart

Mom still ain't good, she misses you, she thinks ′bout you daily

We got a dog after you passed, and she nicknamed her Missy

She lives alone out in New Orleans, she always tells me she miss me

But such is life, this story's real, it's not a movie by Disney

She′ll probably tell you I wrote a song and put your story inside it, fuck

I forgot to tell you, I′m like famous rapper now

Signed a record deal, I made all of my dreams come true

I toured the world, made platinums albums, and I still stayed true

It's so much to catch up on now as I think out loud

When you passed, I was fuckin′ up, still I was a problem child

But we had promises to each other, yeah, I swore, and I vowed

I went to college, I graduated, I would've made you proud

I′m 'bout to turn 30, James is ′bout to turn 27

He's findin' himself still, but I know he′ll find out in a second

He graduated from the same school that I went to in NOLA

He lives right up the street from mom′s, it's crazy as he′s gotten older

He's matured beyond his years, he′s the best I guy I know

I find the older I get, it's like the less that I know

This world′s confusin', sometimes I feel all depressed, filled with gloom

The more and more I understand why you had to hide in that room, fuck

It's been some time since I had someone I could tell this shit

Celebrity life is full of everyone expectin′ shit

In 2019, life is crazy, and it′s evident, wait

You won't believe this part, but Trump was the president

And Leo finally got his Oscar after all

And the Warriors were finally the best team in basketball

Anyways that′s all for now, I'll keep it short and sweet

I′ll save the rest until the next time we meet, I miss you, Melissa

I found peace

Hope this moment's brief

Shaded memories

I can hardly speak

I found peace (in our dreams)

I just grit my teeth

Through teary eyes, I see

Smilin′ back at me

I found peace, I found peace

Yeah, uh

Been seven months since you left

Some nights it hits me harder than others, that's when I get depressed

I play your shit, but I had to stop readin' old texts

I shed tears, sometimes still, fuck it, I′ve been a mess

Knowin′ myself, I was too proud to ever tell this to you

But since you popped out first, I used to be a lil' jealous of you

I used to hate sometimes, Jameel said, "That′s not healthy of you"

But I was broke and unsuccessful, what you expect me to do?

See us, two white boys rappin', felt like they would always compare us

Except you sell out shows across the world from Oakland to Paris

And I was still at my mom′s crib, that means I live with my parents

I couldn't sell shit out in my town, I was slightly embarrassed

Fast-forward some years, I finally caught up a bit

I always wonder ′bout that time, like if you fucked with my shit

And then we finally met in Europe, playin' festival shows

You watch my set sidestage, I'm tryna flex at them shows

Until I went and watched yours, you burnt that shit down

We talked shit and caught up afterwards, you fucked with my sound

We clicked, immediately, time passed in a blink

Talkin′ shit, I can′t believe that was the first time we linked

What I was goin' through with Ash′, you went through with Ariana

And you would check in on me daily, help me deal with that drama

Come to think of it, we talked like every day last summer

You were like a big brother, crazy that you was younger

It's, only a dream until it happens to you

But no one ever told me these things would be happenin′ too, fuck

Anyways that's all for now, I′ll keep this short and sweet

I'll save the rest until the next time we meet, I miss you, Mac

I found peace

Hope this moment's brief

Shaded memories

I can hardly speak

I found peace (in our dreams)

I just grit my teeth

Through teary eyes, I see

Smilin′ back at me

I found peace, I found peace

All the money in the world, I can′t find where they sellin' time

Or a button that rewind, I′m just thinkin', sippin′ this wine

Let me catch you up, it's been a while, let me catch you up

Yeah, uh (Scoop Dezel)
