The Letter (Explicit) Lyrics
The Letter - Bronze Nazareth
Even though we're apart
Yeah whutup baby
Your right here in my heart
Right here in my heart my n***a
When it comes to losing you I've lost a many a friend
That's why we've got to win
Meanwhile my dogg keep on writing
I'll keep writing these's letters
I'll keep writing these's letters
All right
RIP to Kirk Jackson Westside Detroit Soldier
Keep on writing
Yeah a real soldier
I'll keep writing these letters
I'll keep writing these letters
Oh ooooohhhh baby
I saw your life flash like the sky
I knew that it was time to say goodbye
I saw your life shine like the moon
I never thought we'd lose you so soon
So soon
I'll keep writing these's letters
Yea yea
Keep on writing
Yea
We haven't spoke in awhile so please bear with me
You on my mind my n***a I'm hoping you'll forgive me
I shoulda saw the signs it still lives with me
6-9-09 I climb a vine put
One in the air to lift him
Now listen
Physicians 'scribe the new heroing
Soma comas overthrowing new age Pharoah Kings
I was the worst friend
Couldn't see poison through veins
Losing you in vain
From making tracks I shoulda stopped the train d**n
We shared sunny days
Now memories outage your physical
Remember even if outlived we saved kids in the ghetto
Life is too slow for some to wait
Too fast for those who left
I once heard when a man's work is done
It's natural to rest
It crippled my n***a
Sipping the liquor wondering where you had been
I'm stuck in the kitchen cooking elixers
Your soul mixing with wind
Desert storm couldn't get you but
Detroit did you in
From the sand to the concrete a soldier wore thin huh
I'm at your funeral tears thrust from my wig
And when they carried you out
I told you my n***a just live
And we can build about the stars and the sun
'Cause like Donny sung I guess tomorrow's only made for some
I'm mad at you right now man
And I don't understand why
The good die mostly over bulls**t I don't understand
And it remains this way miss you my n***a to this day
Kirk if you let me continue
I'll make it worthy
Allah saw you needed to rest a little early
You never said goodbye it still stings surely
I fight my mind to write these lines hoping to
God you heard me
My own admission never imagined you were hurtin'
Didn't listen to your pleas
I shut the curtain knocking you back down on your knees
A change gon' come
But I was certain it wasn't this one
D**n I'm selfish
Shoulda developed the film different
I shoulda saw the light beams it spilled brilliant
6-9-09 I take my time spill my wine and kill it
May God forgive him
Powders of prison meant to stop the pain
Instead they tear a house apart ending the reign of a king
Still I feel I failed my friend in his illest days
You in withdrawals at the Lex I thought you a flu strain
D**n I'm blind I blame myself how could I not see
And here I go again making it all about me huh
Thought I had more time to reach you to talk and intervene
But Allah spoke so follow me now I'm walking for three
It shattered your dreams
Puffing G's while my wounded pen bleeds
You stuck in addiction
F**king affliction brought you down to your knees
The persian gulf couldn't drown you like these cement seas
The will of steel bent and crushed by a pill
Who could believe
Big Kirk Fuzzy one of the illest mouthpieces
I swear that you could talk the meaning of
Life straight outta Jesus
At your funeral I sunk in the pew searching for reasons
For every long harsh winter it's a change of the seasons
So keep breathing I missed you even before they put you under
Like Stevie Wonder
I never dreamed you'd leave in Summer
I saw your life flash like the sky
I knew that it was time to say goodbye
I saw your life shine like the moon
Like the moon
I never thought we'd lose you so soon
So soon
Aye aye
Deceased plans lotto tickets and beer cans
Smoke signals pills spoons and powder grams
He was guided by the streets and
It taught him how to die
And I never swam the ocean 'cept
The ones that I could cry
Hope you find the peace in death that eluded you in life
Detroit Zoo to Gun Rule Stars reflect the moonlight huh
Deceased plans lotto tickets and beer cans
Smoke signals pills spoons and powder grams
He was guided by the streets and
It taught him how to die
And I never swam the ocean 'cept
The ones that I could cry
Hope you find the peace in death that eluded you in life
Detroit Zoo to Gun Rule Stars reflect the moonlight huh kirk
I'll keep writing these's letters
I'll keep writing these's letters
When it comes to losing you
Keep on writing I'll keep writing these letters
Keep on writing I'll keep writing these letters
Keep on writing I'll keep writing these letters
Keep on writing I'll keep writing these letters
Keep on writing I'll keep writing these letters
Keep on writing I'll keep writing these letters
