As I walk I wonder, how do I do me?
As I walk, I think about what will I achieve?
As I walk, I think about the good ties and bad.
As I walk, I think about who to really call my friends and depend on.
As I walk, I know how big my friend circle is, but I only hang with a few.
As I walk, at the end of the day I only have certain friends.
As I walk, I think about how I’m missing a few.
Ty, Keyshaun, Grandma.
Keyshaun died because he was trying to protect his mother
Ty in jail, still holding on.
Grandma died, but was it just her time?
As I walk, I remember the picture of Shaun laying there in that hospital bed.
I keep hearing that sound, beep, beep
Hoping it wasn’t his time.
Beep, beeeeeeep, beeeeeep. Beeeeeeep.
As I walk, I think about my movement.
As I walk, I think about my future.
As I walk I think and also talk.
As I walk.
As I walk.
As I walk.
