Sorry Paps

Paps, I know its late for me to say this,
Coz the earthly soil has covered your ears,
But I know your soul still hears me,
So I hope you get this.

I just wanna let you know that you wasnt alone the night
you died,
When I heard the window break,
And rough foot steps,
I heard you run into my room to check on me,
calling my name and not see me

But I was hiding scared in the closet...shivering

I was peeping through the keyhole
When they held you and threw you down on the floor
Blind-folded, hands tied and mouth wrapped with a tape,
I heard them when they said "Lets kill this dog"

Tears filled my eyes when I heard that gunshot,
Seeing you on the floor,
Your blood on the wall,

I'm sorry paps,

I didnt know what to do,
I was young,
And I never imagined that happening to you
I'm never gonna forgive myself for letting you go through
it alone.

But I'm not gonna go get revenge,
You didnt raise me like that.

I'm gonna carry your legacy coz you brought me up to be
a good man.

Rest in peace my soldier
To me, you'll remain as my shoulder

Your soul is loved
And will stay loved
Sorry Paps
