Until We Meet Again

Memory lane, cracked pavement where we stood

Hoodie up, talkin’ dreams, puffin’ smoke like we could

Escape the maze, but the block held tight grip

Time ticked, watchin' stars through a chain-link script

Curbside sermons, preachin’ truths unspoken

Hearts open, but the world left ‘em broken

Yo, the system’s a beast, it feast on the poor

You said, “One day we’ll soar,” but that day never saw

Until we meet again, brotha, in the wind, brotha

Echoes in my pen, brotha, never dim, brotha

The streets’ll never forget your name

Forever etched in the cracks of the pain

Polaroids faded, your laugh still lingers

Gunpowder skies, we were playin’ with triggers

Your dreams were Picasso, painted big, no easel

Life took a turn, spun out like a weasel

Corner store tales, two sodas, one straw

Now it’s just me, reminiscin’ what I saw

The block still breathes, but it’s missin’ a lung

Every cypher feels hollow, every song left unsung

Concrete whispers, your voice in the breeze

Streetlights flicker like your soul’s tryna speak

I pour a little out, watch it soak in the dirt

Writin’ your name in the clouds where the hurt can’t lurk
