Dear Friend

[Verse 1: Tripple Mike]
Dear friend I have a problem and I hope that you can solve it
It's been a long time since we've talked or I've called you
It always really feels like that I'm mad at myself
Cause these questions that I have are for my own personal health
Mom says the praying God will always hear my call
But if you don't walk this righteous path you're bound to fall
Don't want to really die with the slug in my chest
Just this unknown soldier and his body put to rest
I try to bargain away the burns I have to pay
But I'm still really hungover from my issues yesterday
What is the purpose of life and the reason for existence?
When it all comes down to it we'll all die in an instance
Just do the right thing and try to make it though the day
But I'm the one who's hurting who's body's spilling tears
(?) and a stomach full of beer
(Yeah I hear that man, I'mma tell you this)

[Chorus: Grieves]
Yo it's funny how the time flies (?) showing distance between it
Ink spots scattered on the canvas a meaning
Life isn't supposed to be a pretty picture from the get go
Takes time to develop your style
Take the brush and paint the picture with the light lying in the distance of your passions
Love life and everything it fashions
And after a while you'll notice that you paint it exactly just how you see it
Or saw it
Life is what you make it be the artist

[Verse 2: Grieves]
Yo I'm sorry that it took me a minute to send a reply
Between work and studio grinds I spend my free time
Seeping slowly stepping forward toward another week
And I now just scored the time to sit and cipher though your feelings
Life hurts and knowing it is part of being human
If you're scared to see the future how the hell would you pursue it?
And I know that it sounds negative but actually it not
It's just I hate to see a homie have to battle his thoughts
And I agree it's been a grip since we connected like we used to
But sometimes I'm closer than you know
And I appreciate the fact that you consider me a person you can talk to
Friendships are supposed to be a safe haven to walk through so listen
Questioning reality is normal just keep your head up stand steady and be resourceful
I'm sorry about the length of this letter but I'm exhausted
Call me when you get this Markus and we can talk
