Absent by Afro American Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Check
Two geebs flow through my teeth before I hit the sink
Brushing shoulders with demons
It seems I've been out of reach
Professor calling my name, only to see an empty seat
The university needs an excuse so I'll make it brief
Like whitey tighties, I battle nightly with likes you've never seen
This shit ain't quite right, I can feel it in my spleen
The team saying that we could be Supreme
If I used my head like Jimmy, but I'm distracted like Sheen
To be or not to be, that is the question
I'm shaking spears off the armor, don't forget I'm the best in
The Head, even with the lack of bread but I ain't in a rush
Because I know at the end, it's just crust
And it makes sense that we'd resort, back to the beginning
We're in the thick of it, so fuck it I'm sinning
Pretending that I'm not taking minutes off of daddy's life
Send my condolences to the kids and wife
[Hook] (x2)
Old soul, young mind, same ol' depression
All three combine in my reflection
I hope I find what I've been missing
But if I don't, you'll have to start class without me
[Verse 2]
I haven't seen my family in a while
Maybe because I don't deserve to see their loving smiles
Been so busy fighting myself I forgot I was the man of the house
Fuck, wish I could help them out but I can't even assist Xavier
My behavior's got me feeling like Oscar's neighbor
Do me a favor and pull me out before sanitation does
The grouch never leaving the couch probably needs a hug
But affection never been the strong suit
Lovers trying to make him taylor made since we were bumping Taylor Gang in the backseat, Tre rolled that heat and passed it to me
I puffed that tree, then passed it to E who passed it to Jo
We smoked that dro around the same time Scott Free hit my cellular phone
He said I wasn't alone, then he sent me some beats
Rest in peace my brother, help me get off my feet
[Hook] (x2)
Old soul, young mind, same ol' depression
All three combine in my reflection
I hope I find what I've been missing
But if I don't, you'll have to start class without me
Check
