Seeds - Sid Sriram, La+ch

I woke up today and thought my.

my…

Been a while since I heard from you old friend

Not a text or a email to open

Let alone a phone call to answer

And ain’t nothing funny

But I thought you was stand up

But what is funny is the time it’ll take me to finish this verse

I could’ve called

And ask you ‘the fuck you been up to so long?'

See a part of me still got love for your player

Part of me is like ‘eat a dick you traitor'

But I suppose that’s how the game goes

When egos collide and dreams you let die

Come back to haunt you every time you see my shine

I’ve been

Doing well, doing great

I''ve been the best I’ve been since I’ve been solo

Since I’ve been focused

Still the same me

Don’t smile in my photos

Tell me where we, tell me where we

Tell me where we went wrong and faded

Split at the seems and can’t sew mistakes

And so it seems we can’t sew these seeds now

Speaking of seeds

I got a daughter now holmie

She’s only three, but she extra bossy

I got her bumpin that Kendrick, Outkast some classic Wu songs

That Nasty Nas shit that we grew up on

And I’m still getting used to this fatherhood stuff

Paranoid that might let her down

So I tell her everyday that I love her more than anything

And you wouldn’t believe what happened on the day she was born

We was on the 14 th floor and so proud

Hearts full of joy and beating so loud

My folks on their way to see their fourth grandchild, right

But then I get a call from my brother so vivid

Mom and dad just got into a head on collision

Right outside the hospital too, shit

So now I’m running down to the ER

Hoping to god that god ain’t this twisted

Hands shaking, heart pounding, head spinning

Thinking this can’t be how this day finish

But when I found out that they made it out alive

Shit I could’ve died, shit I could’ve died

Made me realize, made me realize

This life is so precious

Shit can change in a heartbeat

Ain’t no use holding grudges or

Waiting to tell you how much I loved you

How much you meant to me

I can’t fathom

Then I went back to the 14 th floor

Held Mimi so tight and gave thanks to the lord

Made me realize all this music shit is just bonus to me

I’ve been living in a heaven but ain’t know it to be

I guess its kind of why I wrote you this

And shared these thoughts

To let you know that I’ve never forgot

And even though we strayed and we went separate ways

I wouldn’t be me if I hadn’t met you

I wouldn’t be here if we never had met

Never had a dream, never planted those seeds

And maybe one day we can try to make amends

But until then

I’m sending you much love

Sincerely an old friend
