This me of before we had insomnia peacefully, never needed a pile of drugs Everybody was college-bound, no amounts In God we trust, senior year my prom ain't had no bus My hit me on Facebook, like "What shorty you takin'?" I'm lyin', I'm playin', I'm sayin', I got one to take and I'm waitin' on her Wrote her a 3 letter, it's 3 days later, hit me back, she broke my heart So now he IM'ing me like, "Yo' is shorty bad?" I not to be depressed, she never wrote me back I hit him back like "Yo', well fuck her, on to the next" I that message thinkin' I'm awkward, Prolly' never have sex You in high school, 16 you prolly late My hit me back, "Don't trip, bro. I got you a date." So he sent me this link to some I had never seen He to call and tell her "Walter sent you, you with me." I think about it for a minute, what's his intentions? I mean, we really got along or used to kick it In fact, if I vividly, he picked on me He used to beat me up and take my sneakers every visit I'm skeptical to let her know I'm little cousin if this shit all a joke, then again, what if it wasn't? Would I risk the chance of me potentially fuckin' On some stranger daughter 'cause I barely know if I can trust not I finally called her, tell her sent me My Tahj She asked me what's the color scheme we gon' wear to prom I'm actin' like I'm not excited, play it off So what's the car we're Worst come worst, my mom can us I'll call Walter, thank him, he don't trip and just wear black He she cool and they go back, if any problems, send him back I never had to, but now in tune He messaged me like not to be a nuisance... But he 30 dollars short on all his prom suit shit I'm like, "I got you, cuz. the least that I can do." He me send him the addy and he'll slide after school I'm like, "Ok, bet," never knew he stayed at He down the street, hella surprised, This y'all place at? Uncle Carl, Deborah, my cousin Rena And I'm surprised too, my knew, kept this a secret Me and cuz stay the street, living different lives Everyday he on the bus, me, I get a I him 30 on the porch, he never went inside He me, "Thank you," then he walked back home with a smile He tryna hide it, but I see his I'm thinkin', "Damn, that was simple" I'm shit, I know he hoop, I'm like, Aye, where the rim, He like, Tomorrow, if you free, you weak as shit, tho. I know my not So all 3 of us to the park and ran some niggas off the court I'm hella passive, I was passin', I have to score The next day the prom, I couldn't sleep, I up My granddad gave me a condom then walked away, didn't say She hopped out of her car and said that her name was My heart's racin', I'm focused, I'm keep it playa Gave her the croissant, or Or the fuck my mom handed me And said, "Now put it on her hand, Malik", family My taught me how to tie up a tie my dad lived in NY That's prolly why I was shy, so Took pictures on the porch, and then we headed for the and Walter went on prom the day, but to a different place So he text me like, "Cuz, this the spot. Let's up later And bring Jada through," prom flashed, I kept it We show up to the where she brought a change of clothes I'm lookin' around like, Damn, I know nobody We at this party out West and Jada to get dressed I'm like I'm sendin' text stranger get really close, I swear that I hear his breath Then he put a knife to my me the run down like, "Jada my sister And if you hit her, fuck her, make her miss ya, I'ma ya!" At this point, I'm just Wondering the fuck's Walter He shows up like 30 minutes our altercation I mentioned it to him, he kinda overprotective And I know if I tell him, that he'll this nigga's skull in Turn his body a skeleton, and our end terrible I and say, "Fuck it", and I just chose to let it go

Walt went to St. Louis, had a full ride for his Him and his coach got into it, now he back home music, aye I was at Columbia, a damn near A student I had one B in a hip-hop class, I that shit was stupid He transferred to Robert Morris, always living the street My let out at 2:40 and his class let out at 3 Mama asked me where the I been and where the hell I be "I'm with Walter, mom, I'm safe" I keep walkin' in here I might fall off in your bed, I get girls now, I get I get caught up Walter, I'm a product of my age He talk to erry' girl in downtown Wingman, I fly though He was in Cal Impala, he was that nigga in the party popular for someone that they barely mention Plus we from the of city that they barely mention Just logged into and somehow we was barely mentioned We signed our names on the open mic list and then they us And then they skipped us again a week later Like, obviously this fuckin' host read the paper Hella' intimidatin', the big guy didn't to flex So Walter walked to the and said This the name you're next Bullied our way to the stage and then our welcome An apple never get too far from the tree that it fell Just like my father tryna do music and I make it Walter joined me for the journey said the city
Walter invincible, dodged death like a mad times than a mathematician I'm in LA workin' on Bucket Project, I get a call and get a fishy Walt joke on the phone, this time he over serious My heart droppin', I'm like, Yo, is it? He say he with T.Y on the highway and some just tried to kill him Emptied the clip on the car, but somehow didn't hit him Sometimes I hate Chicago, 'cause I hate this feelin' Innocent niggas get at, in the broad day, the A.M I him for a play-by-play of how their whole day went He he went to XSport, and they ran a full court And I can not retort thinkin' that this can't be the reason So what you do? What Ty? Is he still cool? Where were you on way from, And where you on your way to? He say he left for dinner at a friend crib, and that's it He say "Tahj, don't do shit but smoke, honestly Saba, it" Give him sympathy, another of mistaken identity The news prolly' gon' run this, as two gangs different streets Police questionin' him like he shot at a trooper My boy walked unharmed, And we did Lollapalooza, Six pass by, everyday we celebrate, everyday a better day I just dropped Bucket List, Walter 'bout to a tape Everything perfect, couldn't paint a better way PIVOT is on the way, we just sold out Lincoln Hall I went to talk to Sway I got back home and got on it, 'Cause Walter was doin' dates Sendin' me links to songs he made, Kid Cudi, we are not ridin' no waves, aye Grandma us blanky plates, we played 2K, that's just a day before got a show tomorrow, he text me, "We in that hoe" I went to the barbershop, the first thing the next Then I got up with Legit, we to do some recording 10 into this session, I got a call from a number I don't got saved, but I answer anyways She says, Hello, Malik, have you or Talked to my son today?
