[Verse 1: El-P]
Right for a right, wrong for a wrong
This is clearly not life's design
Figure out quickly that nothing gets answered
When you ask the universe why
Life is a journey, to live is to worry
To love is to lose your damn mind
But living's a blessing so I am not stressing
'Cause some of my friends ain't survived
Death's a release but a much bigger beast
Is a living on limited time
Like how do you look in the eyes of a friend
And not cry when you know that they're dying?
How do you feel 'bout yourself when you know that
Sometimes you had wished they were gone?
Not because you didn't love 'em
But just because you felt too weak to be strong
You couldn't bear to see someone
Who prided themselves on the strength to feel weak
The cruelty of randomness, holding for ransom
Their life and their fate and their dreams
You see that they're fighting and know that they're losing
But still you make jokes and you laugh
'Cause you know despite all the sadness
That you better get the good times while they last
Now every new word that they speak
You are already feeling like it's in the past
And when they are gone you just try to move on
'Cause the memory's hurting too bad
Grown up so much and I wonder
Who you'd've become if you stuck for a while
Just know that I love you, good friend
Ain't forget you, now when I remember I smile
[Chorus: El-P, (Killer Mike)]
And I guess I'd say I'll see you soon (I'll see you soon)
But the truth is that I see you now (I see you now)
Still talk to you like you're around (like you're around)
And I guess I say you left too soon (you left too soon)
But the truth is that you never left (you never left)
'Cause I never let myself forget (myself forget, woo)
[Verse 2: Killer Mike]
An eye for an eye, and a tooth for the tooth
Will leave us all mumbling and blind
So we stumble blind through depths of the dark
Looking for something divine
Life is a journey, to live is to suffer
And I have been suffering through mine
But living's a blessing, so I ain't no stressing
'Cause some of my niggas ain't 'round
Right for a right, wrong for a wrong
This is clearly not life's design
Figure out quickly that nothing gets answered
When you ask the universe why
Life is a journey, to live is to worry
To love is to lose your damn mind
But living's a blessing so I am not stressing
'Cause some of my friends ain't survived
Death's a release but a much bigger beast
Is a living on limited time
Like how do you look in the eyes of a friend
And not cry when you know that they're dying?
How do you feel 'bout yourself when you know that
Sometimes you had wished they were gone?
Not because you didn't love 'em
But just because you felt too weak to be strong
You couldn't bear to see someone
Who prided themselves on the strength to feel weak
The cruelty of randomness, holding for ransom

You see that they're fighting and know that they're losing
