Kid Named Michael

Imma need your undivided attention Your full undivided attention Alright? Yeah [Verse]: He was just a kid named Michael Who one night was lifted off a high dose Drifted off the side road Car spinning, started screaming with his eyes closed Slammed in a benz by a light pole Found with his skin feeling ice cold Took a big risk downing all that Nyquil Last words were “I think I’m missing my pulse” That’s what the ambulance man said After that the kid was tragically pronounced dead Feds said that he took a fat amount of meds Must of passed out once he bled With no chance to recover Imagine all the pain that his family had suffered His mother, fainted when she actually discovered That her son has become another casualty among us Like a clip to her chest She’d rather be dead than to live with this stress Cause now every minute in her head will be filled with regrets Cause she knew that her kid had been livin’ depressed Ain’t spoke in a month She admits she wasn’t vocal enough Now her soul feels like it’s fuckin’ road kill, crushed And it won’t heal much Every morning she’s mourning till dusk People try to help but she won’t seem to budge Hopeless no feeling is lonely as such Still don’t believe that she won’t feel his touch But it wasn’t all her fault though His pops stayed buzzed watching car shows And cared more for a box full of Marlboro's Than his son livin’ with his heart broke At nine years old only Times at home made him feel like life was so phony So one day riding bicycles he told me “These psychos don’t know me” See Michael was my homie Like a younger brodie By the way he had an idol named Tony An uncle who would like to stay zoning Off of anything that could get his fuckin’ mind straight floating One night he forgot the Nyquil bottle by the microwave So Michael took it right away homie So he, could try it like it’s codeine Instead he took a vital drank and OD’d Right before he went and stole the keys Pulled out the driveway high going full speed Wants to hit the highway but there’s no need Slammed sideways right beside a pole and an oak tree So I’m asking you to listen To what can happen from a lack of supervision If his parents did better with their mission I bet it would have led into preventing the collision Instead it went different Now regrets leave them mentally imprisoned Not a set free condition As long as all the memories are with them They gon’ keep, reminiscing, cause they hella miss him Gave him money but they should have paid him some attention To maybe help aid him with depression I bet he could have made some progression Mental illness is a real thing And though it’s not physical you will still feel pain Like a still flame sitting on your lil’ brain Burning through you till your days start to feel drained I mean it this is serious Believe me if you’re curious I speak from experience I guess that’s the reason I seem so mysterious I had to tell the story In hopes to prevent an accident like my boy’s Preaching it with passion in my voice Think about your actions we all have a choice Whether you are young or you’re grown When times get tougher than stone Just know you’ll survive cause your strong But never leave your loved ones alone
