[Verse]
He laced up kicks, dreams on the pavement,
Hustle in his eyes, life full of amazement.
A flash, a spark, darkness invaded,
For a pair of soles, a soul confiscated.
[Chorus]
Gone too soon, his laughter echoes still,
A hole in the world, no shoes could ever fill.
Remember his name, his light, his thrill,
We need love, not blood, to rebuild the hill.
[Verse 2]
Streetlights flicker, shadows run deep,
Memories of my brother haunt my sleep.
A robbery took him, left us to weep,
For sneakers, a life no one could keep.
[Bridge]
We argue, we fight, over things so small,
But we all bleed red when we stumble and fall.
Hold each other close, stand up tall,
Violence breaks us; love builds it all.
[Verse 3]
Saw him last week, he had plans to fly,
Dreams in his pockets, reaching the sky.
Now candles burn where he used to lie,
Questioning why good souls must die.
[Chorus]
Gone too soon, his laughter echoes still,
A hole in the world, no shoes could ever fill.
Remember his name, his light, his thrill,
We need love, not blood, to rebuild the hill.
