A Song For Lucy

A Song For Lucy

A Poem by Carla Vicknair
"

These are lyrics that were written a friend; She had really played a big role in keeping me alive.

"
I suck at rappin 
Have no beat 
plus no rhythm,
But as you read this in your head
I Hope a  bombass beat is what you're hearin'.

So many nights I sat up
Sat up wishin I could die 
It wasn't enough to cry 
But she introduced me to atmosphere 
So I sat and I vibed 
Mathematically and sporadically
Counted all the methods 
I would utilize to survive 
To live one more day half-way happily.

Slug always had a problem or two
And he had it bad over some b***h named lucy,
It's too bad he never met you.

And if a molecule 
of my life was changed 
 I bet I'm not the only one 
That takes pride in knowing you.
I'm not sayin I'm saved, 
I'm sayin thanks
Hopin this rap gives you grace 
At the very least puts a smile on your face 

So many nights I sat up
Sat up wishin I could die 
It wasn't enough to cry 
But she introduced me to atmosphere 
So I sat and I vibed 
Mathematically and sporadically
Counted all the methods 
I would utilize to survive 
To live one more day half-way happily.

If what I'm swimming through ends badly,
She'll be there to catch me.
Because she's only one that's ever been in my mind 
And in all my fights 
Long enough to save my life 

Never judged me and I am grateful
Talked me down til I was stable 
And I don't think I would have ever made it
If it wasn't for her
I need structure
I need order 
Nah you just need love
Go ask Lucy 

So many nights I sat up
Sat up wishin I could die 
It wasn't enough to cry 
But she introduced me to atmosphere 
So I sat and I vibed 
Mathematically and sporadically
Counted all the methods 
I would utilize to survive 
To live one more day half-way happily.

Slug always had a problem or two
And he had it bad over some b***h named lucy,
It's too bad he never met you,
Zeke and Xander, too.
