PURPLE

She was a good woman, I met her at a pivotal moment in my life I had a friend, he was the best, he helped me, unlike the rest He introduced me to her, someone can teach you more in one year than you could get in Thousands from other people This was that woman Dear Mamaw, you was the heart of our town Every time I heard about you, it was always so profound I never heard a single negative A saint A letter for your letterman shaped us into better men You gave the world your everything, we'll never be forgetting it I'm eternally shamed that your final memory of me is something I can't change It's so sad to say I wasn't there for him when he needed me I should've put my shit aside and told him I was down to ride before he even needed me Your love and wisdom shaped a team and brought the crew together I just wish I did it different, cause I'm constantly reflecting Was it me that learned a lesson Absolutely not I was such a dumb kid It took a couple years for me to dry up all my tears and show myself the path that you made for me to follow So now I'm fortunate enough to still have my Memo's love But for those of you that don't, just know it's raining from above If you haven't picked it up Mamaw K, we miss your love And I regret that I didn't Here we go I just hope that you forgive me, cause this pain I feel is crippling, it's so close to boiling over Why'd the world just take away possibly it's strongest soldier It's not okay It's not okay I think I can confidently say, I've respected purple more than any color ever since that day When I'd visit, she would listen When you needed some conventional but not complicated wisdom It's the hardest road I think my friend has ever had to follow I seen hate and I seen love, but he felt all the above I sort of feel responsible because of what I did I wasn't able to be there when he was inconsolable Strip a man of everything and see how much he cares, but take away his moral compass and he'll never be repaired I never had a normal family, so I considered her my own Showing up and trying to fight over rumors wasn't right, but I'll never make it right All I do is live my life in a way that she would hopefully tell me everything's alright
