[Byron Henderson - NOBODY NOWHERE. lyrics]
Through a true test of strength
I was presented with the valuable
Opportunity to grow into
Who I am the hardest part of this whole
Ordeal was really re-teaching
Myself what it's like and why it's ok
To be alone if I'm being
Honest, when I had friends, I'd never felt
More alone in my life but allow
Me to make something perfectly clear
I would never have reached the finish
Line had it not been
For Aaliyah, Rina, or Kelsey and even
Though we gave each other everything
We don't owe each other anything
So I couldn't care less
As long as she's aware that there's risk in
Every decision only she knows what that means
They say if it ain't broke, don't fix it
Bridges crumble as I cross them
Need a couple more ditches for all the love
That I've lost with such a disconnect
The street lights blinding me
Like my thoughts
Blindsided by worst intentions, oh my
How we've grown apart
Crash dummies on every corner
The alley where CRASH is parked
Pushed a couple friends away was a hazard
But there's a spark in the madness
Yet a spike in the violence
Cause everyone is a savage
They're inciting the riots
Cause words are weapons to brandish
Apparently, by the pool where your parents be
Drowning your problems in a bottle
No growth for that family tree
I’m a landmine, bound to blow
Up and do damage, Yet I’m on stand by
Kels had to go and I let it be
But I can’t lie and say I’ll be
There when you find your way back
My future started yesterday
You should know why I say that
This world could never stop me
But I’ll never tell Aaliyah it’ll be ok
Simply due to the fact I know it may not be
They can wish the worst on me
They can wish a hearse on me
That ain’t my concern
Cause I know I’ll die worth something
Some will wish the best on me
Some will wish success on me
My name’s an alarm clock for
Anyone that slept on me
See, I’ve lost a lot but
I ain’t even gon complain
Not a thing I’ve lost was more
Important than what I’ve gained
Catch an audience with words
Breathe life inside the slain
Not a soul on this Earth will
Ever hold me down again, Dawg
They can wish the worst on me
They can wish a hearse on me
That ain’t my concern
Cause I know I’ll die worth something
Some will wish the best on me
Some will wish success on me
My name’s an alarm clock for
Anyone that slept on me
See, I’ve lost a lot but
I ain’t even gon complain
Not a thing I’ve lost was more
Important than what I’ve gained
Catch an audience with words
Breathe life inside the slain
Not a soul on this Earth will
Ever hold me down again
Dawg listen when the chain is off
Missing, this is danger, Y’all tripping
Type of pain to cause someone to
Leave your faces all crimson
We decay as y’all witness bullets spray
They all hit them
Case the place in case they need to
Come and paint the wall with them
Twelve died and if you happen to divide
Then the six that carried you
Eventually lose their lives, I ain’t lying
Same phone you use to call the cops with
It’ll be that same phone when trigger’s
Pulled you’re getting shot with
So where your trust at?
Me and my friends were separated, shipwreck
I was told Heaven’s just a state of
Mind and now I get that
I watched Matthew die afraid of
What would happen next
And now I’m seeing y’all pretend you’re
Fearless till you’re faced with death
I’m like "why panic?"
Seeing kids remind me of Aaliyah
Faced with obstacles that’s gigantic
They collide with ICE like the Titanic
Sons wearing a fools pants
And daughters that ride, Manic
Bullets penetrate like they got
Invited inside, frantic, Mm
Holler back at me, dawg
Already told you I’m up next
Why you asking me, Dawg?
I used to pray for the city
But I’m just prey for the city
Well shoot, it’s my funeral
Save the applause, You’ll never kill me
Kels, if you’re hearing this
It’s reached a fever pitch
But keep that love for me inside your heart
Aaliyah’s needing it
Cause this world could never stop me
But I’ll never tell my family it’ll be ok
Simply due to the fact I know it may not be
They can wish the worst on me
They can wish a hearse on me
That ain’t my concern
Cause I know I’ll die worth something
Some will wish the best on me
Some will wish success on me
My name’s an alarm clock for
Anyone that slept on me
See, I’ve lost a lot but
I ain’t even gon complain
Not a thing I’ve lost was more
Important than what I’ve gained
Catch an audience with words
Breathe life inside the slain
Not a soul on this Earth will
Ever hold me down again, Dawg
