Augie’s Anthem

[Verse]
Cruisin’ in the Chevy, cherry paint gleamin’ low
Dashboard dusted, memories in every glow
Stockton’s finest, realest I ever rode with
Voice still echoes, man, we had that bro shift
Fishing poles leanin’, lake still as my heart
Casts ain’t hittin’, man, it tears me apart
Augie’s laugh in the breeze, gone too soon
Sun sets slow, but it don’t light the gloom
[Chorus]
Augie, my brother, my rider, my kin
Still hear your voice when the oldies spin
Cruisin’ these streets, where the time don’t heal
Stockton’s finest, the realest, forever real
[Verse 2]
Hit the corner store, where you cracked them jokes
Now the clerk just nods, man, the vibe’s all ghost
Cigarettes burn slow, but the clock ticks fast
I’m stuck in reverse, tryin’ to relive the past
Remember the lakeside, tackle box full of dreams
Lines in the water, plotting life’s schemes
You were my compass, now I’m lost at sea
This world feels colder, Augie, you ain’t with me
[Chorus]
Augie, my brother, my rider, my kin
Still hear your voice when the oldies spin
Cruisin’ these streets, where the time don’t heal
Stockton’s finest, the realest, forever real
