Sometimes I sit around
And think about you bro
Life is really hard
And I can't seem to let you go
What goes around comes around
But its taking to long
Wish I was their
If it meant you wouldn't die alone
Better days better days
You introduced me to that song
You set it'll come my way
And you weren't wrong
Yet every one says the same oh song
We miss you and can't let you go
But I already know
So I freestyle floh
To calm my soul
You saw my goals
And I saw your heart of gold
I just hate
How this story unfolds
Story's never told
Its all one sided
The same oh story
Like we reside it
Theirs two story's
To this violence.......
REAL TALK I DREAMT THIS WAS IT A MESSAGE
I saw who shot you while I was hiding better yet like spying not yet were you dying yet I was crying I saw to Hispanic males
Threw an alley way so I kept my pace one was in a bicycle a beach cruiser the other was on the handle bars with a shotgun in my dream I tried to catch them I had so much rage inside but as hard as I tried as fast as I ran I couldn't catch up..... This has been in my head for years I love you I always say I miss you we all do but we all say this because we regret the times we didn't spend with you when we weren't their in your times of need I know your free but I need the eaz of knowing who did this gets what they deserve but only god is going to really judge him in the end

Please if anyone's looking up his story because maybe you know something about that night please come forward. You can call anonymously and you'd be doing something more than you'd ever know for me & my family. He was my cousin and we grew up very close to eachother. Everyday since he's been gone I feel a void in my heart. Sometimes it just feels so heavy and I feel it down in my soul. I miss him so fucking much. He was a beautiful person with such a different outlook on the world and there isn't anything I wouldn't give to hear him speak about the future just one more time. When I think of the possibility of never seeing him again it drives me crazy.. I can't accept how easy it was for someone to take him from us. Now all I have are pictures and my dreams. And I hate it. I want so much more than that I want to call him midday to talk like we use to and have week sleep overs at my aunties house..

The night he was taken from us I saw him. We couldn't get to where he was fast enough and there was nothing I could do. Nothing. The image won't go away and I just wish I could've ran to him and held him in my arms and helped him.

It's been three years and we still don't know the reason why Isaac was taken from us..

I'll see you at the crossroads.
