Kevin Maynor & Christine Brewer Follow

We shed all our hurt and tears
(And tears)
No matter what the weather, what the weather
We were always together
(Always together)
We grew up as time went on
We became separated
(Separated)

It was a sad day
(It was a sad day)
When my homie went away
(When my homie went away)
It was a sad day
(It was a sad day)
When Kevin went away
(When Kevin went away)

It was a sad day
(It was a sad day)
When my homie went away
(When my homie went away)
It was a sad day
(It was a sad day)
When Kevin went away
(When Kevin went away)

Kevin life ain't the same
Even though we got some change
See momma don't understand
How you died in the game

And grandma getting older
Little Kevin he's a soldier
We don't made it out the ghetto
Ain't no more runnin' for the rollers
Tattooed your face on my arm
So your legacy could live on

You said, "P, be strong"
Without you we are alone
I know it's been a few years
On your birthday we shed tears
And I don't wanna question God
But why He took you and left us here?

It was a sad day
(It was a sad day)
When my homie went away
(When my homie went away)
It was a sad day
(It was a sad day)
When my homie went away
(When my homie went away)

Just thinkin' about you, my nigga
It bring tears to my eyes
Yea, I'm holdin' on but even the realist niggaz cry
And when you left, part of me died too
And who ever knew Kevin
Like I knew Kevin, ya'll would cry too

Just thinkin' about you
And keep you stay here
How much different
Reminiscing on one of your pictures
Lookin' at the family
Thinkin' we always got one missin'

And I can still remember
The last words I should say
(And mine ain't even started)
Look your never forgotten
'Cuz on your birthday
I go and put flowers on your grave

I still remember when P and C
Broke the news to me
At school about your death
Told me, "Silkk, time would heal our wound"
It's been oh, five years and I ain't healed yet

Now for your son, I'm tryin' to be strong
I know mom, she's tryin' to hold on
Even though your here and your gone
I got so many questions that's why I can't move on
It's something about you

It was a sad day
(It was a sad day)
When my homie went away
(When my homie went away)
It was a sad day
(It was a sad day)
When my homie went away
(When my homie went away)

Now as I could remember
(Remember)
A couple of months before December
(December)
I still can't take the pain
We all are stuck in this ghetto rain

I learned my lesson, count your blessings
Watch your enemies and watch your friends
And if it ain't your blood don't show that man no love

'Cuz kindness make you weak
And they cause blindness in the streets
And the vultures coming to get you
When none of your real homies is with ya

And it's sad I can't break the cycle
Take a drink with my uncle Michael
And my momma will question my silence
But I blame this senseless violence

Don't wanna wake up 'cuz when I'm ma asleep
You still alive up in my dreams
A few seconds of happy thoughts
To keep my mind at ease

And then Kevin, it's like your ghost
My body freeze when ever I see him
If anybody got your ways, you know it'd be him

It was a sad day
(It was a sad day)
When my homie went away
(When my homie went away)
It was a sad day
(It was a sad day)
When my homie went away
(When my homie went away)

It was a sad day
(It was a sad day)
When my homie went away
(When my homie went away)
It was a sad day
(It was a sad day)
When Kevin went away
(When Kevin went away)

We shed all our hurt and tears
(And tears)
