At the time this was rap was written Michael “Micky” Kaplor, 16, was in Hennepin County Medical Center in critical condition. He later died; on October 23. Codey and Tim wrote a rap to help deal with the grief.<\/p>\n
Its hard Im still tripping,<\/p>\n
Coulda went so far now u missin<\/p>\n
Soul flyin, wanna hold ur hand,<\/p>\n
Like a sis, im denyin it happened<\/p>\n
How could you be took, hard to look<\/p>\n
Im shook, I feel misunderstood,<\/p>\n
No one understands, turn back time<\/p>\n
Make a plan, see your eyes, try to<\/p>\n
Be a man, sit and cry, make demands<\/p>\n
Never wanna see your epitaph.<\/p>\n
Wish I could go back and change the past, but I know I cant, I try to adapt but micks<\/p>\n
Still in a trance, peeps are slippin to the atha side, cause of a crash<\/p>\n
anotha tear I cry in the mist getting the facts, goin crazy startin to snap<\/p>\n
Accidents happen, god why u got<\/p>\n
Me snappin, Its evident they’ll all live on through my rappin, its hard to face a<\/p>\n
Day when all u see is graves,<\/p>\n
In the light of the night and deep in the day 2 times<\/p>\n
If I could turn back time let it all unwind,<\/p>\n
I would never let you go<\/p>\n
I held you close like my little sista<\/p>\n
Even though your gone its still hard to miss ya<\/p>\n
Holdin your hand walking you home<\/p>\n
Ida never let you go<\/p>\n
Now that your gone its time that goes so slow.<\/p>\n
If we new you’d be gone we’d a never let you go<\/p>\n
You were thirteen leavin us behind.<\/p>\n
We wish you were here so you could wipe away all our tears.<\/p>\n
You were only thirteen it’s hard for us to dream<\/p>\n
Why does life have to be so mean.<\/p>\n
(Chorus 2times)<\/p>\n
Mky’s still asleep wishin you were here<\/p>\n
But all we can do is sit and wait anticipating<\/p>\n
Livin in fear<\/p>\n
Every time I hear name it makes me wanna just break down in tears<\/p>\n
Micky wont wake up he’s stuck in his sleep<\/p>\n
They don’t no whats gonna happen so<\/p>\n
All we do is sit and keep on rappin<\/p>\n
All we can do is sit and wait and anticipate<\/p>\n
I wish this all would end, wish it all away<\/p>\n
Cause we lost to more friends Thursday<\/p>\n
Man it seems like you wont make it<\/p>\n
But im prayin keeping my faith hoping you can take it<\/p>\n
Waitin with anticipation minds<\/p>\n
still racin<\/p>\n
Ur status is escalating<\/p>\n
(Chorus 2times)<\/p>\n
We was all so close like sista and bros<\/p>\n
Every body knew everybody no clicks that’s why it sticks<\/p>\n
When this happened and that’s we were sittin here rappin<\/p>\n
Its kinda funny how everything can be fine<\/p>\n
One second and bad the next we’s all depressed<\/p>\n
Its like a nightmare can’t wake up<\/p>\n
And I no life aint fair<\/p>\n
But why’d he take that girl she had her whole world and life in front of her,<\/p>\n
And wonder how he can take everything<\/p>\n
Mick’s still alive but not really with us<\/p>\n
Know that were done we hoped youd listen<\/p>\n
