So Long Friend

Today I wasn't even gonna take a shower

And then I got a call sayin that my cousin died in a fire

So I washed myself for what seemed like three hours

With tears and rusty water

I need some of that Calgon take me away action immediately

Before I start scrubbing my hands hard repeatedly

I'm stuck somewhere lethargic between reality

And a fuckin Tool video - WAKE ME UP!

I've said goodbye too many times in these 22 long ones

And here I am wavin again; so long friend

I should have told her how this town doesn't like it when people leave

So it finds ways to keep them

It sows seeds and reaps them

And now she's part of that harvest, but different from all the others

Ask her mother how her smile touched souls and warmed cold hearts

Monique I miss you

I wish I could've kissed you farewell

And given you that tattoo you always asked for

But when I'm done tattin Thug Life on God's stomach

You got next; I'm done, y'all take what you want from it

I'm goin to wash my hands

I miss you girl
