"Hard Time" by myriikal

Damn hommie your gone I cant believe it
And in my minds eyes I still can't conceive it.
I'm trying to remember the good and the bad
Thinking about the fights we didn't mean to have.
Cause I'm standing here dripping wet in this cold ass rain
Wondering if God can feel all my pain.
Dear Lord: Please give me a reason why you took my friend
Dear "D" I'm gonna love you till the very end.
Even though I know your gone to a better place
I'll still remember your innocent face.
In the bottom of my heart there's a spot just for you
Reminisce unto the day when our friendship grew.
REST IN PEACE my boy, now you can relax
No more words in your mind just time to kick back.
In hard times I just think of you
And feel your warming heart shinning through.
