Me and You

Homie, I miss you - I have and I do
Cuz back in the day it was always me and you
Me and you

Rain running down the windowpanes
Like tears falling down my face
It's been fifteen years since I wrote the track
For you pleading with you to come back
We've been apart now more years than together
And it breaks my heart cuz we were inseperable - brother
From another mother - homie - childhood best friend
And I swore in twenty-ten we'd stick together til the end
But then I found shit teaching that promoted the idea
You were a bad influence; we must part - reverse Ikea
I should have stuck closer - I should have loved better
Rather than being afraid of some fetters (the Church's)
Plot twist - I only gave up the cigs in twenty-twenty-one
And swearing's returned - yeah, I'm still strugglin
So I ain't better than you - never have been - it's true
I'm sorry if I implied that God couldn't handle you

Homie, I miss you - I have and I do
Cuz back in the day it was always me and you
And for that I'm sorry that I fell away
Forgive me, I pray - I wanna relive old days
I'm sorry for pushing - probably pushed you away
I'm sorry for preaching when I should have just prayed
I'm sorry for leaving - I should have just stayed
Forgive me, walk with me - I wanna relive old days

Look homie, this may be too little too late
But I'm sitting, reminiscing on times that were great
The only reason I've got rap albums out is cuz of you
Cuz you taught me and inspired me -know that it's true
Even though they went Christian - that was also you
It was your baptism at church that inspired me too
The water made you God's child, declared us bros
Remember rapping "Jesus Freak"? - I do and it shows
It ain't enough to talk about him - I need you to know
That I want to look like Jesus - both to bros and to hoes (Revelation 17)
My arms are open wide - I'll accept you for you
And I'll walk with you too through this life that is cruel
I remember chatting once about being old men
Sitting on our porch reminiscing about when
We were younger and dumber and having lots of fun
Haven't forgotten, still longing - wish we were still young

Homie, I miss you - I have and I do
Cuz back in the day it was always me and you
And for that I'm sorry that I fell away
Forgive me, I pray - I wanna relive old days
I'm sorry for pushing - probably pushed you away
I'm sorry for preaching when I should have just prayed
I'm sorry for leaving - I should have just stayed
Forgive me, walk with me - I wanna relive old days

Homie, I miss you - I pray that's made clear
I pray life improves - I pray of jail you steer clear
Though I get it now, I didn't at first
Prison provides stability - answers to hunger and thirst
But we were made for freedom, homie, so I hope you strive
To make something big out of your life
Something positive - something truly great
I know you can - set your mind straight
And commit to a path that gives you some weight
Holding down a job, sobriety - improve on your fate
I'm praying for you bro as I pen this rhyme
I'm praying for you bro as I record this rhyme
I'm praying for you bro when I listen to this track
I'm praying for blessings - homie, fight back
Not against people or authorities - not them at all
But fight against the demons inside making you fall

Homie, I miss you - I have and I do
Cuz back in the day it was always me and you
And for that I'm sorry that I fell away
Forgive me, I pray - I wanna relive old days
I'm sorry for pushing - probably pushed you away
I'm sorry for preaching when I should have just prayed
I'm sorry for leaving - I should have just stayed
Forgive me, walk with me - I wanna relive old days

Look, homie,
You don't need to find yourself
You know yourself too well
Seek Jesus

Homie, I miss you - I have and I do
Cuz back in the day it was always me and you
And for that I'm sorry that I fell away
Forgive me, I pray - I wanna relive old days
I'm sorry for pushing - probably pushed you away
I'm sorry for preaching when I should have just prayed
I'm sorry for leaving - I should have just stayed
Forgive me, walk with me - I wanna relive old days

I love you, bro
Life is so different these days
Jobs, responsibilities, kids
When we were younger, we had no worries
And we had each other
There's always a place for you, bro
Hope to see you soon
