Dedication tribute to our fallen brother

lyrics

-DEKay-
(Chorus)
"For the bro I miss DeOliver Twist‎"/
"As your spirit never decay"/
"For the bro I miss DeOliver Twist‎"/
"To my boy DEK D-E-K-"/ [2x]

(Verse 1)
Dear DEK 15 years since you left/
Still hard to accept not here in the flesh/
A best bredren neighbourhood sibling/
Lesson teaching suicides crippling‎/

Mind stuck thinking why's and what ifs/
Did things dif reached out like glove mitt/
2 catch friend slipping true loves grip/
For riding selfish guilt is Spud's trip/

Like puffs of a spliff life became ashes/
Blaming my absence on tryna pass classes/
Graduated but failed as a friend/
Can't comprehend us not sailing to the end -

(Chorus)
(Verse 2)
Everybody hurts automatic for people‎/
Suicide raise pain infinity fold‎/
Just give me the phone that dials past chapters/
Swear I'll call sooner than two days after/

Math of passing by one's own hand/
Fams left damned forever broken/
Heart need rinse no repeat like lather/
Lack closure if last daps to cadaver/

Mad at myself for not being present/
Mad at you for what you kept in/
Mad at the world and how it off'd him/
Sad that it happens all too often/

(Chorus)
(Verse 3)
Know this fact health is essential/
Note to self remember the mental/
Wellness supply don't let it run dry/
Listen for cries behind friends sighs/

The brightest smile lied on Dwayne's face/
Can't keep it up w just masking tape/
Shame how me take people for granted/
And damaged minds are stigma branded/

Stranded in grief closet doors open/
Let it Go or Elsa Frozen/
Despair don't care what your melanin be/
No humans immune to mental fatigue/

Trust we must speak don't keep it caged/
Fore it detonates in dangerous ways/
Aim this blade as an aid to save/
Please learn from Dwayne or face decay-
‎(Chorus)
