Mf Grimm - The Trees lyrics

rate me

(feat. Baron)

Lost a dear friend today

Passed in his house

Felt bad, died alone he had no spouse

Took him for granted thought tomorrow I would see him

If I live to his age, I wanna be just like him

Cuz he was an African King

Super knock on his door couldnt wake him

For some reason, God chose to take him

Now I dont have a chance to get closer

God, never told me that he had cancer

Tears, dropped from my eyes lost composure

Left, flowers at the door for

(?)

He was a cheerful old man

Who, always had a smile on his face

And, I could never understand

How every morning he could water the trees

He said inhale, exhale, you gotta give back

He made me so proud to be black

Educated, well in the 70's

Good person, out of tuned heavily

Told him about the street wars that Im a vet

He'd laugh, told me you havent even lived yet

Im a Yankee fan, he loved the Mets

Who would win the super bowl we would bet

See, in my family most the males are dead

It was cool to have a man who knew about life

He told me I had a good woman

And dont be a fool I better make her my wife

Although today is my birthday

(?) gift, yes I cried

90 degrees is the temperature

The dirt outside, is very dry cause

[Hook:]

You did not water the trees that's how we realized somethings wrong

I shoulda reached out but now its too late I took way too long

Im proud to have the chance to know you cause your presence was strong

You might not be famous but everybody deserves a song [x2]
