This remind me of before we had peacefully, never needed a pile of drugs Everybody was college-bound, no dollar In God we trust, senior year my prom ain't had no bus My cousin hit me on Facebook, like "What you takin'?" I'm lyin', I'm playin', I'm sayin', I got one to take and I'm on her response Wrote her a 3 letter, it's 3 days later, hit me back, she broke my heart So now he IM'ing me shit like, "Yo' is bad?" I not to be depressed, she never wrote me back I hit him back "Yo', well fuck her, it's on to the next" I wrote that message I'm awkward, Prolly' would have sex You know in school, 16 you prolly late My hit me back, "Don't trip, bro. I got you a date." So he sent me this to some girl I had never seen He said to call and tell her "Walter sent you, you me." I think about it for a minute, like his intentions? I mean, we really got along or used to kick it In fact, if I remember vividly, he on me He to beat me up and take my sneakers every family visit I'm skeptical to let her know I'm Walter little What if this shit all a joke, then again, if it wasn't? Would I really the chance of me potentially fuckin' On some stranger daughter 'cause I barely know if I can him? not I finally her, tell her Walter sent me My Tahj She asked me what's the scheme that we gon' wear to prom I'm actin' like I'm not excited, tryna it off So what's the car we're Worst come worst, my mom can us I'll call Walter, him, he said don't trip and just wear black He said she and they go back, if any problems, send him back I never had to, but now we're in He Facebook messaged me not to be a nuisance...
