The Prince of Macomb - Brothers 4 Life Lyrics

July 23rd
Can't believe it for a sec
Best friends, second grade
And it made a big effect

On me
And your girl
And your fam
I didn't think summer
Right after your exams

I would lose you
I know you didn't choose to
But if you had a choice
Then I know you'd refuse to

It was never in my mind
You'd be gone
Right now
You were young
I was hoping one day
We could go to the bar
And get drunk

I'm sorry
That was harsh
It's just not fair
That it happened last March

Last spring break
Saw an ambulance
Coming right my way
For an accident

But it wasn't
Then I realized it for you
I think I saw one
Maybe two

But at the end of this day
You my bro
And we'll always be bros
And we'll never be foes

We brothers 4 life
And this isn't goodbye
But now that you're gone
Now you're up in the sky
It's been 3 weeks since
The Fourth of July
And now that you're gone
All I'm asking is why

Why it gotta happen
To a kid like you
Why it gotta happen
To a kid, why you

Cause you didn't deserve it
And no one prefers it
When I woke up in the morning
Then your girl confirmed it

That you're gone
It's been 2 weeks
Since I've seen you
I heard about the news
And I wanted to meet you

So I did
It was for a short time
And I gotta see you grin

5 years since the last time
Yeah, it was that time
Class time
I still can't believe
That you're in permanent nap time

We been friends
Ever since we were 8
And ever since then
Yeah I get a lot of hate

We brothers 4 life
And this isn't goodbye
But now that you're gone
Now you're up in the sky
It's been 3 weeks since
The Fourth of July
And now that you're gone
All I'm asking is why

Why it gotta happen
To a kid like you
Why it gotta happen
To a kid, why you

Cause you didn't deserve it
And no one prefers it
When I woke up in the morning
Then your girl confirmed it

That you're gone
