Jeff

2013 freshman year at State
Just a kid from Carolina that was born to be great
Asian boy walking into Chinese class all late
Was where I met my best friend that day

We were just 19 years old up in Harrelson Hall
Back then, we used to hoop and play smash bros brawl
Laughing thru the whole semester, there was something we saw
In one another something special about that boy J Rawls

We made our way through school, and when I moved to the Creek
You made sure to come visit damn near every week
My dog Jerald used to say that white boy too clean
Us 3 you couldn’t beat us in a 3v3

They say your friends are your power, dog I swear that it’s true
Cause there ain’t nothing that could stop me when I knew I had you
When I moved to LA, you couldn’t be more proud
But that was us making moves boy you were always around

All those deep talks we had you made me a believer
That I could make a difference in this world through spitting that heater
9 years and through it all you kept it more than a thousand
When you got someone like Jeff, you feel like you could move mountains

You wasn’t made for that office, I could see something greater
I tried to tell you there’s a world out there bro what you afraid of?
Take my hand this time, you’ve held mine long enough
I’ll give you everything no one deserves it more than my bruv

But you let go of my hand, told me go be man
And bring it back to home plate everything that we planned
You’ll always be in my heart, don’t forget who you are
You’re a star, and I always knew that from the start

And that’s why I did all of those things I did for you
Man you always had value, I’m just reminding that for you
I’m so grateful in this life to have a friend like you
Rest in peace Jeffrey Rawls I’ll forever and always love you
