ALI by Mustapha
Ali, you know our hearts were at their fullestAli, there were no words to stop the bullets
Concrete dreams, I could never leaveI go back to when we were thirteen and fifteen and seventeenFall nights with the coldest breezeAll that we hoped to beWhen we smiled with all our teeth
Ali, you know our hearts were at their fullestAli, there were no words to stop the bullets
You should've left your homeI told you to goI told you it wouldn't be safeI told you it wasn't the wayYou should've left your homeI told you to goI told you it wouldn't be safeOh, how I prayed and I prayed
And since the angel was at your doorI can't walk by anymoreYou slipped through my armsI see you on your sister's shirtAnd it's hard to mask the hurtAnd it's hard to mask your worth
Ali, you know our hearts were at their fullestAli, there were no words to stop the bullets
Now it's only me that needs to save himselfFeel like I can't be here while you're in that realmOh, I need time, oh, I need timeOh, I need time to mourn youTime to mourn you
Started off as nothing and became something (became something)No, I don't wanna get pushed around (pushed around)
