i saw an old friend today

I saw an old friend today
We were never that close
Always had something to say
But never doing the most
He was grinding 9 to 5
Said he getting back in it
Said he quit the prescriptions
But them eyes still hollow
Like the ice on the linen
And that bag still empty
When you cop it
Or fill it

So I wonder what he meant
We all have definitions

Broke my back tryna help
In the same damn position
Lost my sight
Out of mind
When I made that decision
Should've trusted my gut
Yeah I had premonitions
Imma young dumb fuck
Never learned how to listen
So the words I sew
Never fully envisioned
If the shoe don't fit
Better make an incision

So don't wonder what I meant
We all have definitions

When I'm awake too late I get nervous
When I sleep too late I get certain
Spending time worried just a burden
Keep my flashlight behind the curtain

When I'm awake too late I get nervous
When I sleep too late I get certain
Spending time worried just a burden
Keep my flashlight behind the curtain

When I'm awake too late I get nervous
When I sleep too late I get certain
Spending time worried just a burden
Keep my flashlight behind the curtain

When I'm awake too late I get nervous
When I sleep too late I get certain
Spending time worried just a burden
Keep my flashlight behind the curtain
