This is Rest In Peace off a New Hope, verses - by Phantom Weight, chorus by Katisha Almeida. beat by Timmy Wadap
RIP NM & BD

Verse one :

The sand slides,
Down the glass,
Makin future,
Out of the past,
Clay to stone,
waitin by the phone,
it couldnt happen to me,
whats the worst case scenari-
Oh shit, reality hits,
now the doubts are ruled out,
no reason to believe
any different from
what the scouts found,
and above all else,
he had a mother and a brother,
pops looked all night,
thank god he didnt discover,
but regardless,
the garden never blossemed,
during this summers struggle
the hard ship,
was felt by the whole town,
everybody lookin around,
for an escape route,
hopin for the rays
but found only rain clouds,
still dont even know
if it was self inflicted,
or accidental,
all i know is,
it was preventable shit,
now all i can do,
is remember you.

Chorus :

The memories are faded,
I watch them melt away,
I see them through the stained glass,
in the colors of the day,
the light that shines is jaded,
my faith is caged and locked,
i saw your face my friend,
when i shed tears on your ash box.

Verse two :

The drugs may have been,
a bit to easy to find,
especially to the kind,
with a depressed state of mind,
when he checked the mirror,
he saw diamonds with no shine,
21 years young,
already past his prime,
and though it was true,
the ideas grew,
like weeds
in the garden of forbidden fruit,
lit the fuse,
pick and choose,
which conversation
he should listen to
switch the mood,
hit the road,
bounce down south,
to give the confidence a boost,
ordinance is due.
a portion of the clues,
were lost in translaton
but the obsession, the laughter,
the staring, distracted,
askin him how he was doin,
promised me that he was fine,
shook my hand and he left,
said hed be back after dinner time,
things were lookin up,
but he never came back no,
6 days later,
homie came through with some bad news,
his mental got the best of him,
never thought he was that dude damn.

Chorus

Outro :

(repeat 8x)
I can't help but think,
could they be connected?
