byron henderson - tony lyrics
[intro: byron]
i remember when you asked me one of the most difficult questions ever. am i happy with my life? it was always difficult to answer because i never felt like i did anything. sometimes i still get that feeling, but um, not so much. i know it took a while; but actually yes, i’m satisfied. i got to help people. i got to be a positive influence, which i didn’t necessarily have before i met you. so, it’s a good feeling to know that you’re doing something right, and it’s working. people like tony
[verse: byron]
i remember it vividly
imagery of a discount zone sparking my memory
enemies move with caution
friends basically for infinity; what’s my calling?
glance at what surrounds me
can it be that i’m falling out with everything?
even you, even myself
f a mirror, my reflection is you in need of my help
and as much as i try to fight the feeling
i’m on the edge of this mental cliff
and i might just willing – nah
different path in the face of adversity
detrimental, cause these thoughts hurt me
and deep thoughts irk me
i like you a lot, but a reason to believe in me will haunt my psyche
i’ve got some inner demons to display whether you like it or not
what a sight, as i watch to my dismay a fight occur that changed my life
you asked why i never changed like one of them
i reckon they’ll never get to glance at some of this
i try to avoid cancer, they’re too busy becoming it
i wonder if yesterday was a sign
bullets go in any direction; idiots’ll pull the trigger and fire for what?
that’s why i hope this planet love you today
remember tony?
the homie used to struggle to pray
because he suffered a lot, faith was nonexistent
yesterday was a mess
we never noticed he was missing, cause when we’re together everything is different
it’s odd that not a single stray hit us, but the same thing leaves him out of commission?
now, i often wonder if i made the wrong decision trying to help him
even if he showed progress?
even if he had a conscience?
persistent in his efforts to show his deceased mom that he could have a better life than that simple apartment complex
she would live in the kitchen
he’d panic like, what’s worse?
his best friend leaving or p-ssing the rock like steve francis?
whatever guidance was, he never saw it
but when he met us, he begged for advice
i told him try to get rid of his vices
immorality might just make you spiral downhill like tyson
every bad influence ought to be expelled from your life
and we’ll be your moral support as long as you do right
so that fight i mentioned above taught me a valuable lesson
i used to say f whoever wasn’t marina
but if i can help somebody break the chain just before their soul leaves the earth
that’s one less polo being turned into a yeezy shirt
[hook: byron]
i know, i know, i know i shouldn’t be doing this
but i just want to help anybody that’s going through it like marina helps me, and vice versa
the last thing our people want to hear is we were murdered
what a way to go out
tony was trying to put on for his mother
just to find out he was dying all along
for the love of god
we’re destined to do this forever
so every day it’s love & peace as we go through it together
