February

It's February, it's much different from the past year That was the worst time, the opposite of cashmere And you know when life kicks you all in your ass rear When you down to your last blunt While you downing your last beer Catching your close friends in every lie Had you wiping your hands clean 'til they were sanitary dry Then you noticed the snow was standing very high Because yesterday it fell from the January sky Now it's February and the world feels a lot colder You and your girl parted ways so you can not hold her She said she wanted to get married back in October Probably why in the month of May is when you got sober But in February you felt the teardrops slide Down your face when your faith began to lopside This around the same time my nigga pops died Dress shoes, suit, the tie up at the top's tied Look at all the drama it brung This time of year when I was young, snowflakes was on my tongue We played freeze tag or had a snowball fight 'til the curb on the streetlight would grow all bright Couldn't ride our bicycles, slippery sidewalks Icicles cold as a deli sandwich with the sliced pickles That's when advice trickles down from generation Like counting all your friends on one hand Or if you don't stand for anything, you'll fall for everything Because you wasn't smart, it plays a part in why your heart holds a heavy sting Oh February, February You took a friend from me who wasn't just some celeb you buried He inspired us all musically You came around and changed things, I want it how it used to be
