Byron Henderson - Tony lyrics

I remember when you asked me
One of the most difficult
Questions ever am I happy with
My life? It was
Always difficult to answer because I
Never felt like I did
Anything sometimes I still get
That feeling, but um, Not so much i
Know it took a while but actually yes
I'm satisfied i got to help people i got to
Be a positive influence
Which I didn't necessarily have before
I met you so, It's
A good feeling to know that
You're doing something right
And it's working people like Tony

I remember it vividly
Imagery of a Discount Zone sparking my memory
Enemies move with caution
Friends basically for infinity
What's my calling?
Glance at what surrounds me
Can it be that I'm
Falling out with everything?
Even you, even myself f a mirror
My reflection is you in need of my help
And as much as I try to fight the feeling
I'm on the edge of this mental cliff
And I might just willing - nah
Different path in the face of adversity
Detrimental, cause these thoughts hurt me
And deep thoughts irk me i like you a lot
But a reason to believe in
Me will haunt my psyche
I've got some inner demons to display
Whether you like it or not what a sight
As I watch to my dismay a
Fight occur that changed my life
You asked why I never changed
Like one of them
I reckon they'll never get to
Glance at some of this
I try to avoid cancer
They're too busy becoming it
I wonder if yesterday was a sign
Bullets go in any direction idiots'll pull
The trigger and fire for what?
That's why I hope this planet love you today
Remember Tony?
The homie used to struggle to pray
Because he suffered a lot
Faith was nonexistent yesterday was a mess
We never noticed he was missing
Cause when we're together
Everything is different
It's odd that not a single stray hit us
But the same thing leaves
Him out of commission?
Now, I often wonder if I made the
Wrong decision trying to help him
Even if he showed progress?
Even if he had a conscience?
Persistent in his efforts to show
His deceased mom that he
Could have a better life than
That simple apartment complex
She would live in the kitchen
He'd panic like, what's worse?
His best friend leaving or passing
The rock like Steve Francis?
Whatever guidance was, he never saw it
But when he met us, he begged for advice
I told him try to get rid of his vices
Immorality might just make you
Spiral downhill like Tyson
Every bad influence ought to be
Expelled from your life
And we'll be your moral support as
Long as you do right
So that fight I mentioned above
Taught me a valuable lesson
I used to say F whoever wasn't Marina
But if I can help somebody break the chain
Just before their soul leaves the Earth
That's one less Polo being turned
Into a Yeezy shirt i know, I know
I know I shouldn't be doing this
But I just want to help anybody that's
Going through it like Marina helps me
And vice versa
The last thing our people want to
Hear is we were murdered

What a way to go out
Tony was trying to put on for his mother
Just to find out he was dying all along
For the love of God
We're destined to do this forever
So every day it's Love & Peace
As we go through it together
