Light Up 
Hey man go to sleep aren’t you tired
“I keep thinking how you can you die from old age”
Wait what are you talking about? How can you-
“Yeah, but I’m a god damn missed target”
Hey are you okay? You confusing me 
“was that directed at Moi? Can’t be”
Hey bro, explain yourself.
“Don’t get impatient when it takes too long”
What?
“Drink it all even when it taste so strong”
Man you okay?
“I promised to give you me, the real me.”
Well I think you should go to sleep
“I’m sorry mama I promised they wouldn’t change me, I woulda went insane had I remained
the same me.”
I understand, good night.
