Kid Named Michael - Anilyst

Imma need your undivided attention

Your full undivided attention

Alright?

Yeah

He was just a kid named Michael

Who one night was lifted off a high dose

Drifted off the side road

Car spinning, started screaming with his eyes closed

Slammed in a benz by a light pole

Found with his skin feeling ice cold

Took a big risk downing all that Nyquil

Last words were «I think I’m missing my pulse»

That’s what the ambulance man said

After that the kid was tragically pronounced dead

Feds said that he took a fat amount of meds

Must of passed out once he bled

With no chance to recover

Imagine all the pain that his family had suffered

His mother, fainted when she actually discovered

That her son has become another casualty among us

Like a clip to her chest

She’d rather be dead than to live with this stress

Cause now every minute in her head will be filled with regrets

Cause she knew that her kid had been livin' depressed

Ain’t spoke in a month

She admits she wasn’t vocal enough

Now her soul feels like it’s fuckin' road kill, crushed

And it won’t heal much

Every morning she’s mourning till dusk

People try to help but she won’t seem to budge

Hopeless no feeling is lonely as such

Still don’t believe that she won’t feel his touch

But it wasn’t all her fault though

His pops stayed buzzed watching car shows

And cared more for a box full of Marlboro’s

Than his son livin' with his heart broke

At nine years old only

Times at home made him feel like life was so phony

So one day riding bicycles he told me

«These psychos don’t know me»

See Michael was my homie

Like a younger brodie

By the way he had an idol named Tony

An uncle who would like to stay zoning

Off of anything that could get his fuckin' mind straight floating

One night he forgot the Nyquil bottle by the microwave

So Michael took it right away homie

So he, could try it like it’s codeine

Instead he took a vital drank and OD’d

Right before he went and stole the keys

Pulled out the driveway high going full speed

Wants to hit the highway but there’s no need

Slammed sideways right beside a pole and an oak tree

So I’m asking you to listen

To what can happen from a lack of supervision

If his parents did better with their mission

I bet it would have led into preventing the collision

Instead it went different

Now regrets leave them mentally imprisoned

Not a set free condition

As long as all the memories are with them

They gon' keep, reminiscing, cause they hella miss him

Gave him money but they should have paid him some attention

To maybe help aid him with depression

I bet he could have made some progression

Mental illness is a real thing

And though it’s not physical you will still feel pain

Like a still flame sitting on your lil' brain

Burning through you till your days start to feel drained

I mean it this is serious

Believe me if you’re curious

I speak from experience

I guess that’s the reason I seem so mysterious

I had to tell the story

In hopes to prevent an accident like my boy’s

Preaching it with passion in my voice

Think about your actions we all have a choice

Whether you are young or you’re grown

When times get tougher than stone

Just know you’ll survive cause your strong

But never leave your loved ones alone
