lyrics

This shit is dry
the world is dry
so why bother
I'll keep it moving
it's getting harder
status quo, like water
try to flow like water
can't let it go but I gotta

Man, looking back I was too young for all that
To put it to rap as a man, I'm trying to find the kid again
where I lost him.
It was a school night, awesome.
'Til he raised his voice, and it cost him.
I deal with it every way. My best friend didn't come to school the next day.
The man that gave him life took it away.
He never got old enough to say "this is who I am."
Good kid, would've been a good man. Never had the chance.
Most of my friends died from drugs, not their old man.
I bottled too much inside, this is a whole can.
Now people are listening, I don't give a whole damn.
I'll share my love and pain and scream "fuck Remi's deadbeat dad."
I'm just trying to keep it moving, intact.
Try not to interact with any more listless souls on their way to be damned.
It's Evil Key, and I finally got a plan.
I'ma live with love for the kid who could never be a man.

This shit is dry
the world is dry
so why bother
I'll keep it moving
it's getting harder
status quo, like water
try to flow like water
can't let it go but I gotta
This shit is dry
the world is dry
so why bother
I'll keep it moving
it's getting harder
status quo, like water
try to flow like water
can't let it go but I gotta

Moments of silence for the kids on and off the streets, it repeats.
Love undivided to all who have a missing piece, don't retreat.
Put your lighters up for the people who every day feel weak.
Blow it in the air and let it go like smoke, you gotta
face yourself and let it flow like water.
Flow like water.

This shit is dry
the world is dry
so why bother
I'll keep it moving
it's getting harder
status quo, like water
try to flow like water
can't let it go but I gotta
