Lyrics

If we all live to die what’s the point of living anyways

If life leads to death, what's the purpose of living?

Hoping when it happens, we don’t descend but levitate

Hoping to ascend rather than descend when death occurs.

Hopefully a better place but maybe it’s a cliche people say

Expressing a desire for an afterlife, acknowledging it may sound cliché.

In the heat of that situation

Referring to a challenging situation or moment.

Of you crying in their face

Describing a poignant scene of someone crying.

Death is ugly and uncomfortable

Death is depicted as unpleasant and awkward.

Like the coffin and the clothes that they put you in

Comparing death to the discomfort of a coffin and burial clothes.

When you lying stiff what happens to your consciousness

Questioning what happens to consciousness after death.

I wish I had a direct line wanna call my friends

Expressing a wish for a direct connection to friends.

If you know me you know the word friends is ill fitted

Acknowledging a different perspective on friendships.

Imma little different

Highlighting individuality or uniqueness.

I mean I haven’t had like too many yet

Not having many friends yet.

But especially in moments of glory and success

Reflecting on the scarcity of close relationships in moments of success.

Imma miss y’all until my motherfucking death

Expressing deep connection and the inevitability of missing friends.

Tell stories to my kids about how both of y’all were legends

Planning to share memories of friends with future generations.

Man I promise won’t forget you

A commitment to remembering and honoring friends.

Never my brothers

Never forgetting friends, specifically named Errol Glowaki.

Errol Glowaki you’ll survive by your name

Emphasizing Errol Glowaki's enduring legacy through his name.

Aidan Donovan you’ll survive by your name

Similar sentiment for Aidan Donovan, emphasizing legacy through name.

You'll survive by your name

Reiteration of surviving through one's name.

The fucked up thing bout it is it wasn’t supposed to happen like this

Expressing frustration at the unexpected nature of events.

I got moments where I could swear I’m psychic

Claiming moments of psychic intuition.

You were so close my bro, you could almost touch it

Highlighting the proximity to success or fulfillment.

Speaking of it, shouts to them Militia brothers

Shoutout to comrades or close friends in the Militia.

Shit, Uncle E it was running on 2 years that we didn’t even speak

Reflecting on a strained relationship with Uncle E.

Half of that was on you half was on me

Shared responsibility for the strained relationship.

Where to begin my motherfucking g

Pondering where to start addressing issues with Uncle E.

The fact that I found out 11 months after

Discovery of information about Uncle E 11 months later.

Does it even really matter, shit I missed your funeral

Questioning the significance of the timing of finding out.

Didn’t call your mama didn’t get to send her flowers

Expressing regret for missing Uncle E's funeral.

How I found out I had to google your name

Finding out about Uncle E's death through an online search.

Cuz them texts kept bouncing back

Difficulty in communication due to bounced text messages.

Imagine that

Expressing surprise or irony at the situation.

Bro I'm heart broken than you left without a notice

Expressing emotional pain at the sudden loss of a friend.

But shit, Polish people don’t sweat

Stating resilience in the face of adversity.

I’ll never forget man that first day we met

Recalling the memorable first meeting with a friend.

At Earl Sweatshirt in Chicago at the metro

Specific memory of meeting at an Earl Sweatshirt concert.

Helping me light my joint up, you the best

Acknowledging a friend's assistance in a casual setting.

I was like ahh this dude wants a hit but na

Initial misinterpretation of friend's intentions.

You just wanted to help and that’s it

Recognizing a friend's genuine desire to help.
