Next of Kin - Paulie Rhyme

I look to the sky see if you looking down

I look deep inside know you always be around

To that day when we meet again

Next life next of kin

This bond so strong ain’t breaking it

See I remember when them times got hard

Way before they put the hustle in the word

And put them crosses on the lawn

Hypocrites tried to fake the odds

You kept it straight in a world of frauds

I tried my best to keep the faith for all

But when your kidneys shut down

Some took a different route

Some plotted just to take

Blinded tried to chase to cake

But Kate ain’t even in the dirt yet

The hurt will

Drowning in them grains of sands

Struggling trying to be a man

Looking for your open hand

Or just a smile from your face

When you died, my soul tried to race

A fate I couldn’t win

A journey that begin where it ends

When it come I’m ready for the win

To take it all away

Until then I fighting everyday

To make you proud in every way…

I look to the sky see if you looking down

I look deep inside know you always be around

To that day when we meet again

Next life next of kin

This bond so strong ain’t breaking it

I remember first night at ya house

You took me in, not ya son’s friend

Like family, no questions why or when

My time of need, bout lose all of my dreams

You believed my destiny

Must’ve saw the best in me

When I couldn’t see it in myself

Full of hate on a different path

Past plague with some different math

I had to laugh at «grannies bake cookies»

But my granny held it down

So I could never be crook g

Responsibility of breaking the circle

From Ms. Smith and Susie

I am going continue to work it

The sacrifice of the ones before

They paid the price so I got to sow

The seeds set so we can grow some more

And build it up for the ones that coming after

Or give a hand to the ones that need hope

Can’t just be about I or me

Or the sweat that got you here

Will just be some memories…

I look to the sky see if you looking down

I look deep inside know you always be around

To that day when we meet again

Next life next of kin

This bond so strong ain’t breaking it
