[El-P]
A right for a right and a wrong for a wrong's 
just clearly not life's design
You 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 livin'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 the living on limited time
Like how do you look in the eyes of a friend
and not cry when you know that they're dyin?
And 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 holdin for ransom
their life and their fate and their dreams
You see that they're fightin and know that they're losin
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
And every new word that they speak
You are already feelin like it's in the past
And when they are gone, you just try to move on
Cause the memory's hurtin too bad
I've grown up so much and I wonder who you'da 
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: Run The Jewels] 
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!)
Uh, but the truth is that you never left (You never left!)
Cause I never let myself forget (Never forget! Woo, woo, woo, woo, woo!)

[Killer Mike]
An eye for an eye and a tooth for the tooth
will leave us all mumblin' and blind
So we stumble blind through depths of the dark
Lookin' for somethin' divine
Life is a journey, to live is to suffer
and I have been sufferin' through mine
But livin's a blessin' so I ain't no stressin'
cause some of my niggas ain't 'round
And he got no drama but his baby mama
is still on my line and she cryin'
I searched for the words to give her some comfort
for her soul and spirit and mind
I tell her that it'll be fine
But deep down I know that I'm lyin'
The family came, took rings and his chains
The bank took the house and the rides
The only thing left was his child
and she had a smile in his eyes
So much to the soul, when the grandmomma kept her
She'd look at her sometime and cry
The very next day she cried
And day after day she cried
Then called baby mama and told her
"I'm sorry, can't keep her no more, I have tried"
No killer was captured but I know he listenin'
so I'd like to tell you in song
The streets was a jungle, I pray that you made it
I hope that you righted your wrongs
I hope that you learn, I hope that you changed
so your momma won't know this pain
So my homie's name will mean somethin' more
than a nigga got killed for a chain

[Chorus: Run The Jewels]
And I guess I'd say 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...)
Ayy, woo, woo, woo!
And I guess I say you left too soon (You left too soon!)
Uh, but the truth is that you never left (You never left!)
Cause I never let myself forget (Never forget! Woo, woo, woo, woo, woo!)
