Thursday in the Danger Room

Right for a right wrong for a wrong
This is clearly not life's design
Figure out quickly that nothing gets answered
When you ask the universe why
Life is a journey to live is to worry
To love is to lose your damn mind
But living's a blessing so I am not stressing
'Cause some of my friends ain't survived
That's the release but in much bigger pieces
I'm living on limited time
Like how do you look in the eyes of a friend
And not cry when you know that they're dying
How do you feel 'bout yourself when you know
That sometimes you had wished they were gone
Not because you didn't love 'em but just
Because you felt too weak to be strong
You couldn't bear to see someone who prided
Themselves on the strength to feel weak
You prove to your randomness hold it for ransom
That life will not fade in your dreams
You see that they're fighting and know
That they're losing but still you make jokes and you laugh
'Cause you know despite all the sadness
That you better get the good times while they last
Now every new word that they speak
You are already feeling like it's in the past
And when they all gone you just try to move on
'Cause the memory's hurting too bad
Grown up so much and I wonder who you'd've
Become if you stuck for a while
Just know that I love you good friend
Ain't forget you and when I remember I smile
And I guess I'd say I'll see you soon
But the truth is that I see you now
Still talk to you like you're around
And I guess I say you left too soon
But the truth is that you never left
'Cause I never let myself forget
An eye for an eye and a tooth for the tooth
Will leave us all mumbling and blind
So we stumble blind through depths of the dark
Looking for something divine
Life is a journey to live is to suffer
And I have been suffering through mine
But living's a blessing so I ain't no stressing
'Cause some of my ****** ain't 'round
He got no drama but his baby mama
Is still on my line and she cryin'
I searched for the words to give her some comfort
For her soul and spirit and mind
I tell her that it'll be fine
But deep down I know that I'm lying
The family came took rings and his chains
The bank took the house and the rights
The only thing left was his child
And she had a smile in his eyes
So much to the soul when the grandmama kept her
She'd look at her sometime and cry
The very next day she cried
And day after day she cried
Then called baby mama and told her
I'm sorry can't keep her no more I have tried
No killer was captured but I know he listening
So I'd like to tell you in song
The streets was a jungle
I pray that you made it
I hope that you righted your wrongs
I hope that you learn
I hope that you changed so your mama won't know this pain
So my homie's name will mean something
More than a ***** got killed for a chain
And I guess I'd say I'll see you soon
But the truth is that I see you now
Still talk to you like you're around
And I guess I say you left too soon
But the truth is that you never left
'Cause I never let myself forget
