Verse WuN

Yo, Writing this wasn’t eazy /
This is for my nigga D.P. /
We would often chill, play music, watch TV /
You know how we be /
I said I wanna be you, you wanna be me /

Same Jerseys, Toronto Raptors - VC /
But now you feel funny when see me /
I miss you nigga so at times to hear your voice I play your songs on our CD /

Word, Look, you was my best friend /
Remember the chicks we had up in the west end? /
Uh, yeah, she found her treasure /
Plus, she would always make the mission down for pleasure /

Eazy pimp, aha, fix ya collar /
Remember the older chicks would holla? /
Started flirting like “who is you?” /
“If ya’ll was a lil older I be booing you” /
“You couldn’t handle what I do to you” /

We left smirking and amp /
This the time we was working at camp /
Serving the kids while earning paper /
I went by Young WuN you was Terminator /

And them young boys and girls, they thought highly of us /
Bro, they really loved us /
They view us as the funnest fathers /
And we viewed them all as sons and daughters /

Then tragedy fell when shots rung out and your older brother died /
You stood strong every time your mother cried /
The block felt naked and dim /
How many times after did you get mistaken for him huh? /

Splitting pizza he liked in his memory /
Reminiscing saying things like “remember he” /
We pouring a beer can or a rum, it’s sad knowing that the man he’ll become, we will never see /

No doubt we would ball our eyes /
Remember he said “sometimes you gotta fall to rise?” /
I miss moms, your two nephews - all you guys /
If I hurt you, I apologize /


Hook

Will It Ever be the Same? /
We Came Up Together In the Game /
On a Mission for the Cheddar and the Fame /
Will It Ever be the Same Huh? /
Will It Ever be the Same Huh? /

Will It Ever be the Same? /
My Life got Better when you Came /
Ridin Thru the Storm - Weathering the Rain /
Will It Ever be the Same Huh?/
It’ll Never be the Same? Nahh /


Verse Two

Yeah, the streets is talking, requesting my view /
Rip and I go back further than the rest of the crew /
You was nice at ball but at your best when you drew /
This before 50 Cent rocked a vest and he blew /

Cops pulling us over for how we dress and our hue /
I use to think if I ever had a blessing it’s you /
On the block blowing hydro and sess in the blue (sky)
Possessing a brew /
Getting twisted, we ingesting a few /

You called recently, upset, on a quest to pursue /
Something you described being on your chest and it grew /
“Ima address it wit you” /
“why you taking Bang Em’s side” - suggesting it’s true /

I replied “you making false claims” like police when they questioning you /
If there’s issues let’s talk, assess and renew /
You was down but later send text messages thru /
Like “appreciate you trying but I ain’t messing wit you” /

I was hurt and I was stressing it too /
But I tried so I’m over it, it’s something I ain’t wrestling thru /
Nahh, so what happened? We dismembered and split ways /
But I choose to remember the lit days /

Houses on the beaches we dreamed /
When we played ball the girls in the bleachers would scream /
Remember grade 5 when we left the teachers in steam? /
Cuz we did our school dance to peaches and cream? /

You was ill wit the crip walk /
And you had skill wit the slick talk /
This before we was marked teens /
Grade 6 grad you and I rocked a button up and some dark jeans /

Inspired by the older niggaz that would stunt in a drop /
We older now on a hunt for the gwop /
Putting change together to get a blunt from the shop /
Drunk downtown on New Years and you pissed in front of a cop /

Us going to different high schools bred fears /
Samuel Hearne in front of everyone I shed tears /
Nigga this is all from the Heart /
Honestly, this is where it started falling apart /

Yet I’m inspired by your drive god /
Congrats on Team Canada and the Raptors 905 Squad /
we ain’t speaking - ignoring what may be /
Yeah you lost one like Lauren and Jay-Z /
