Dedicated to my fallen friends and family members.

lyrics

Chorus:
It's not the way that I planned at all.
This is isn't how it's supposed to be.
When the night sings in the wind's voice
I listen close and I can almost hear my friend's voice.
I can hear him saying
"Live for me. Live for me. Live for me.
Avenge all of my misery.
Embody all my energy."

Verse 1:
I lost a lot of friends who ain't deserve to die.
Come where I'm from and you can ask around, I'm certified.
We built a sound these other clowns just strive for.
I live a life that many people would die for, so why don't I feel alive for?
Hard to focus on the right things through the hardships life brings.
When the night sings in the wind's voice
I can almost hear my friend's voice saying
"Do the things that I couldn't do. You've got a plan, now see it through.
I believe in you".
Peace to Nestor, bless Dimo too.

Chorus 2:
It's not the way that I planned at all.
This is isn't how it's supposed to be.
When the night sings in the wind's voice
I listen close and I can almost hear my friend's voice.
I can hear him saying
"Live for me. Live for me. Live for me.
Avenge all of my misery.
Embody all my energy.
Cause it's not the way that I planned at all.
This isn't how it's supposed to be.
So I need you to live for me.
Live for me
Live for me

Verse 2:
I had a uncle die when I became alive.
At the age of eight I watched another die on his bedside.
In '99 I saw another die from suicide.
A year after that his brother took his own life,
those we're both on my mother's side.
Know I'll see 'em on the other side.
The lost I've felt makes me come alive.
When I feel like I'm done inside I chase the dream, not run and hide.
I hear a voice when my eyes close saying "everything will be fine, bro".
When the wind blows hear my kin folks saying
"Keep going, cause a win is close".

Chorus 3:
It's not the way that I planned at all.
This is isn't how it's supposed to be.
When the night sings in the wind's voice
I listen close and I can almost hear my kin's voice.
I can hear him saying
"Live for me. Live for me. Live for me.
Avenge all of my misery.
Embody all my energy.
Cause it's not the way that I planned at all.
This isn't how it's supposed to be.
So I need you to live for me.
Live for me
Live for me

Verse 3:
Spent nine months inside my wife.
She never even got to see the light.
She came within about an inch of life.
We never even got to see her eyes.
This kind of thing will make you realize how real life can get,
but we can't give in, we can't submit.
And we will move on but won't forget.
Rest in peace, left a piece of my heart with you.
Saying "bye" was hard to do.
As I held you inside my arms I felt your blessing.
This world can never do harm to you.
A kink in the armor, but I'm a soldier.
I could do squats with the world on my shoulders.
Life's getting harder as I'm getting older.
I feel grateful that I got to hold her

Outro chorus:
It's not the way that I planned at all.
This isn't how it's supposed to be.
So I need you to live for me.
Live for me, live for me.
Live for me.
Live for me, live for me.
