Leon

[Verse]
Leon this is your uncle
Your mother's brother
Unlike any other
Here to leave you gifted
Let this message come down shifted

If you're hearin' this as you're older
Know the world's got colder
Uncle's no longer present on this earth
Most likely I missed your birth

It's just that my luck has been bustin'
No discussion, livin' a curse of concussion
Born alive, just to live my own demise

I pray you don't hate me, for my consequences daily
Consequences that I know
Closin' on my time before I see you grow

Unlike your father, I didn't bother to leave you lost forever
If ever I'm present in a decade
Leavin' you will be never

Your mother had scolded me for leavin' my father behind
Just ask your grandpa how long it's been since we've spent some time

When your mother says she loves you
And hugs you
Never stop her, aight
Cause you'll never know if you never got the chance to say goodbye

Maybe you just might take the food and shelter for granted
Understand it
When you're broke and poor, you feel like you're stranded

Even though your mother was fumin' drugs
Bangin' thugs
My sister fed us over feelins'
Cause you feed family like children

Better respect her
And never neglect her love she may shove
Cause any day you may never get to see your mother's lover

I'm stressin'
I hope you don't lose your mama over drama
Don't end up like your uncle who's carin' less for his only mama

Been prayin' through sayins'
You're stayin' out of crime
Why do a sentence over dimes, when you could be spendin' time
With your mother, your lover, and every other in your bloodline
But I can't guarantee that we'll get a chance to spend time

I don't vision myself tomorrow
It's seemin' my time is borrowed
Write this rhyme
To leave part of my legacy for you behind

I don't vision myself tomorrow
It's seemin' my time is borrowed
Write this rhyme
To leave part of my legacy for you behind

Maybe I might be murdered as I'm-

[Hook]


[Verse 2]
Leon you're probably confused
Yet amused to know why uncle died
Honestly, death keeps warning me of my feeble time

Death keeps playin' tricky
Livin' risky
Then it hit me
Heaven knows it all well too
Death had took me way too soon

So if you're nearin' and hearin this message
Means I'm no longer present
Please don't end up feelin' dread
Just cause your uncle's dead

Cause I need you to listen
To my mission
No matter what, glisten
No matter what they say
There's always gonna be a brighter day

Don't end up like your mama
When she was younger, she was dumber
Her heart blossomed like the thorn
Her problems led to how you're born

Though she managed to understand the problems
She always solved em
And your uncle had problems too
Cause nobody's perfectly true

Like how your uncle was told to go to college
To gather essential knowledge
Now I regret not goin'
I don't see my future growin'

Your uncle had decided to cut the crap, focus on rap
Now I'm not sure if I'm going to make it out of where I'm at

Cause I'm stuck in a position
Between a transition, visioned in my fate
Promise your uncle that you won't make the same mistake

Be blessful
I hope you'll end up successful in your time
Remember to love your mama, and invest in every dime

Cause you'll never know when you'll have to kill
To eat a meal
And you'll never know, when it goes downhill
You're poppin' pills

You're poppin' pills on the daily
And addiction leads to fall
Now you wonder why your family won't even see you at all

And your lover never returns
Sittin' stressed, time's a mess
In your room
And you wonder what better your life could ever do

Trapped in an abyss
Of nothin' bliss
With the heat cocked tonight
Maybe you'll even reach the point of committin' suicide


[Verse 3]
I know that I no longer exist amongst this hist
I wish I could've been stronger to ask you questions that I missed

Even though I'm not present as a peasant in your time
Answer me these questions, I'll listen from the other side

Tell me how old you are as you listen to the emissions
This audio fission
Tell me the expedition of your thanksgivin'
Is our family still together
Did your father come back for the better
How tall do you measure
Have you been moody, how's the weather

Do you still love your mother
Have you got down with a lover
How many children you own
Or are you roaming this world alone

How many friends have you gathered
Tell me if friends really matter
How long did they last
Until you put those friends in your past

Are you turnin' and yearnin' for a brighter day
Which I sought
Tell me the truth, are you really seein' suicidal thoughts

Or did you pass away
Before you got to hear this scripture
Cause your deceased uncle is paintin' you a bigger picture

A picture, a paintin' of my desperate life
Livin' strife
Still bullied and mistreated by those I respected nice

Remember, you might never see tomorrow, be thankful for today's ride
Cause life's a bitch and then you fuckin' die
