RIP

🎶 HOOK

Damn, it feel like yesterday we was ridin’ side by side,

Blink once, life changed, now you gone from my sight.

Through the bullshit and the stress, you was always gon’ stay,

You ain’t just take a job, nah—

RIP to my paycheck.

🎤 VERSE 1

Damn, it feel like yesterday we was just together,

Wild nights, bad decisions, swear that shit was forever.

House parties, loud laughs, runnin’ off no sleep,

Long road trips, deep talks, secrets we would keep.

If my mom needed help, you ain’t ask no questions,

You showed up every time, no second-guessin’.

When I was down bad, pockets empty, pride thin,

You came through clutch, like “bro, I got you—win.”

You might’ve been the only one that really stayed solid,

Seen me at my lowest, never judged, never called it.

Life hit hard, but we laughed through the pain,

Now I’m lookin’ at the past like—damn, what changed?

🎶 HOOK

Damn, it feel like yesterday we was ridin’ side by side,

Now I’m scrollin’ through memories just to feel you alive.

Through the chaos and the stress, you was always gon’ stay,

You ain’t just take a job, nah—

RIP to my paycheck.

🎤 VERSE 2

You was there when nobody else even knew my name,

Held me down through the storms when I lost my lane.

Seen me grow, seen me fail, seen me learn from scars,

Knew my heart before the world ever knew my bars.

Late nights talkin’ ‘bout life and what’s next,

Dreams too big for the city, plans way past rent.

You knew my struggle before I ever spoke it out loud,

That’s real loyalty—can’t teach that, it ain’t common now.

Now it’s quiet in the moments you used to fill,

Same phone, same roads, but the vibe feel still.

Ain’t just money that I lost when you walked away,

I lost a piece of me—yeah, that’s hard to say.

🎶 BRIDGE

Funny how life don’t warn you when it’s ‘bout to shift,

One day it’s normal, next day you missin’ shit.

Tryna understand why you left so quick.

Just want to save you one more day...

🎤 VERSE 3

You showed me what it mean to really keep a connect.

If I’m here today, part of that credit is yours,

You held me up when life tried slammin’ the doors.

So here’s to the memories, the laughs, the rides,

The nights we survived with nothin’ but pride.

Yeah, it hurt, but I’m grateful you was in my life,

Some people ain’t friends—

They family for life.

🎶 FINAL HOOK

Damn, it feel like yesterday we was ridin’ side by side,

Now I’m pourin’ one out just to keep you alive.

Through the bullshit and the stress, you was always gon’ stay,

You ain’t just take a job, nah—

RIP to my paycheck.
