• I never knew you'd end up this way
    Thought it'd be a different time and place
    Had a strong life going
    Rapping, girlfriends, and everyone knows... you
    Until they shoved 'it" in your face

    You were addicted
    Had a life, a job, a car
    And now, you're dead
    You couldn't stop
    You were robbed
    Of your life
    By such a simple
    Problem...

    Baby photos
    Everybody loved you
    They wouldn't guess
    They wouldn't know
    And now you're through

    Honor roll
    Such a bright boy, they said
    But then it's gone
    Walking off
    Storming out
    Yelling, screaming all loud
    I was young
    But I knew
    What it's about!

    You were addicted
    Trust, and friends
    And now, you're dead
    You couldn't stop
    It wouldn't end

    I remember asking for you
    Homework was hard
    My skull is thick
    I couldn't get it through
    You were smart
    You were liked
    You fell apart
    Worked in a restaurant
    Trying to get by!

    Oh, you were addicted
    No life, lost your job, and your car
    Now, you're dead
    One with the stars
    Will you be missed?

    No, if only you hadn't done this...
