The Message - Cousin Stizz

Yeah

Yeah

In 1992, right out of the blue

God made a plan, a dream that he renewed

But shit, who woulda knew, out the mud, you’d bloom?

The dimmest little light turned the brightest in the room

I remember times when we thought we seen your doom

Lost ones you loved too soon, through life or through a tomb

I remember you and Leno plot inside the room

Up and hang a 40, y’all think big as the moon

You and your boys were smokin' zing before this shit was cool

And no, it wasn’t easy, you took them scars and grew

Now it’s hard to name a place here you haven’t flew

11 years old at Frank’s crib before he moved

Thought you won’t see him no more, he popped up like, «Ooh»

Stole his mama’s whip, then rolled back through the hood

That make you miss Benji, gotta know to understood

He gave your name, Stizz, he’d be here if he could

Sometimes you feel the words and can’t figure where they’re from

I remember when you broke into that new crib down the block

Dumbass little kid, lucky you ain’t get caught

Funny how your head hard and riddled with knots

Lessons that you learned will forever be taught

Sticky grew up next to you since we could remember

He got your back, you got his back, so with y’all it’s whatever

You ain’t have it then, heard the money make it better

It’s just you and your fam, y’all put that bread together

Somehow separated when the days felt like Hell

Next time you seen him, he just got out of jail

'Round the same time you was out makin' a sale

We know y’all good kids, but tell me where you failed

Keep your mind focused, though, the real ones will prevail

You ain’t done livin', so we ain’t finish this tale

Yeah, sometimes you feel the words and can’t figure where they’re from
