Jafaris Ghost
[Verse 1]
He never got to finish what he started yeah
He was out to change the world but he forgot himself
A couple burdens and addictions that he struggled with
He was friends with everybody, that was part of it
Too many parts to split
He wished he was a superhero so he altered it
He was good at giving glory to alter this
More than passion for the music, it was purpose to him
More than accolades and money, it was therapeutic
Singing 'bout a lot of things, he wouldn't speak of one light
How he makes his momma cry 'cause he ain't never home or
How his girl would be on edge when he not show he care
He was there but never there like he went really in himself
[Pre-Chorus]
I love this brother like my own, that's on everyone I know
I put everything I own down for him
I love this brother like my own, that's on everyone I know
I put everything I own down for him
[Chorus]
He was gone too soon
I lost a good brother, Lord save his soul yeah yeah
He was gone too soon
Then I realised I'm talking about my own ghost yeah yeah
He was gone too soon
I lost a good brother, Lord save his soul yeah yeah
He was gone too soon
Then I realised I'm talking about my own ghost
[Verse 2]
In and out of his relationship with God and Jesus
Luke warm and looked more like he just got religious
The best at giving advice but never taking it with him
The best at listening but never really paying attention
He was good for something, never passed a judgement
He gave everyone attention, never made assumptions
When he stood up he made sure that he was there for something
Expressed himself with a mode of language, left people wondering
All he wished for was people to find peace or something
'Cause he was peace or something
Trying to build a world around him just so he could leave 'em something
Open doors would guide a course but such a broken chord
Always rational but never satisfied
[Pre-Chorus]
I love this brother like my own, that's on everyone I know
I put everything I own down for him
I love this brother like my own, that's on everyone I know
I put everything I own down for him
[Interlude]
I wish I had another chance
Already given twenty three, the burn is over third degree
I wish I had another chance
'Cause I just wanna dance and go through with all my plans
I wish I had another chance
Already given twenty three, the burn is over third degree
I wish I had another chance
'Cause I just wanna dance and go through with all my plans
[Chorus]
He was gone too soon
I lost a good brother, Lord save his soul yeah yeah
He was gone too soon
Then I realised I'm talking about my own ghost yeah yeah
He was gone too soon
I lost a good brother, Lord save his soul yeah yeah
He was gone too soon
Then I realised I'm talking about my own ghost
[Outro]
Don't question me
Don't question me
Don't question me
