You’ll Never Know.

She was a Ukrainian queen that grew close to me

For weeks I never spoke to her cuz I was fleeced

As I grew older and the soul became more weak

I figured I’d give it a chance and let me speak

So I did, and she liked me, we talked for a bit

Casual conversations about life and other bits

Even thought about her being my wife as a jit

But then again I was excited because I finally had

A woman that can talk smart and likes me back

I couldn’t ever let her get back to any men she ever had in the past

I’d go for her forever, it was like a bad addiction that passed

Met her at a church studying Christian religion

She new her business, I knew mine, we were both missioned

To be with each other, all the glances from her got me to listen

That she may be the one to heal my past frictions

Cuz I’ve been rubbing two sticks for too long

I need a flame to spark before I lose and move along

 

Time waits for no man

Rhymes can save a poor man

But don’t invest too much in that

Her name was like the gentleness of a dove's whisper

The pleasantness of the sound emitting from the scripture

We were both settled to make life with our pictures

Us both, we ain’t ever had a sister

But we had a brother, damn, not 1 mixture

She was a dancer and I had the answers

We twirled to my poetry, songs and my stanzas

She could light a fire under inside Holy Water

Something like Joan of Arc rising above the harbour

She was Presilica but better, Elizabeth but modern

Something about her was more than I could charter

But I was a baller and I went to school down south

So our relationship slipped and we went different routes

She cut me off after I told she couldn’t come down

Because her mother needed her safely around

That day I was heartbroken that she had lost me

But I had to move on before Satan crossed me

Years go by and my meaning of life has changed

It was about getting riches and making the most change

All I wanted then was a Porsche or a Range

Or a Gucci umbrella so I stay dry in the rain

My life then was full of wannabe rich with the glitz

I had many women popping in and out of my crib

Parties at my place, drinking till my mind flipped

Started relationships that went different scripts

Some I got abused, some others I was accused

Some turned me to the gym while others: the noose

I was smothered with rules and the laws I didn’t abide

And I knew somewhere in my life it’ll kick me on my side

I called my mother to tell her that I’m doing fine

She didn’t want to talk because I was to busy making dimes

And it seemed to her I lost my morals with time

So I had nothing to fall back onto accept writing some rhymes

Stopped having sex with women I don’t wanna be with

Because I know that they’ll give sickness and leave it

I thought back to her, Naomi, where she’d went

Down a different path probably better than many men

Better than me, I mean I’m in a life of sin

I started reminiscing on the life that could’ve been

And what it was before she ended it so abrupt

She was a must, so pure that I couldn’t even lust

She never tried to get me to get her stuff

And I never tried to even sneak a touch

Never even once did I make her think I wanted some

Cuz at the time she was more than my number 1

She was my water, my food and my living

But then things changed, I indulged in more sinning

I remember her momma was so happy and her father

Was a smart man, an educated school scholar

At the time I was just tryna find my roots, and dollars

Tryna find the truth beyond this life of blue collars

She told me that we could be the ones that can teach

Our own kids the way to live life without greed

And I agreed to her needs, all she wanted in her carriage

I even made a vow that I’ll wait until after marriage

But back to the present as I sit here with a ticket

On a plain back to Canada to give her a visit

Figured I’d go to her mom for a tip and shit

She loved me and hated her for leaving me flippin’

 

Time waits for no man

So I did exactly that and I had flew back

It was back to be in a place where no one slew crack

I went on the hill where I knew her mother stayed

And said “damn, I could’ve visited here everyday”

So much nerves filled my gut that day

I actually was so close from walking off away

But I stayed intact I knew this is what I had to do

Try to find a way to find her back to get to chat a few

Walked out of my car and hit the lock and ran a few

Steps before I slow trotted examining my stance and shoes

Knocked on her door and she had answered too

Gasping saying “Damn I cannot believe that it’s you”

I gave her a hug before we sat down and brewed

And conversed about her life and her profoundly news

We got to talkin as I almost couldn’t ask

About what I came here to do as my only task

So we kept talking as we waded through the waters

Talkin about corruption and the New World order

But her entire face changed when I asked about her daughter

Her mother opened up her lips and told me a date

Where her daughter had left her alone with a tape

On June 28th 4 years ago today

The coincidence was so real I broke down and played

She said “hey I am sorry about all that I’ve said

And if you are hearing this now, I am probably dead

But if I’m not than this will remain locked forever

And no ears can fathom the sounds of these endeavours

Josh I wanna say we shoulda been somethign great

And I’m sorry I cut you off, I wasn’t thinkin straight

But now it’s too late to turn the tables back around

So please listen to me, don’t break and fall down

My body is becoming less of healthy right now

I was just diagnosed with a severe pneumonic plague

That’ll leave me in the reapers hands in a couple days

So as I fade away, these are the lasts words I’ll say

And they’re to you if you didn’t catch that by the way

I wanted to tell you I will die a virgin because of you

I didn’t want to lose my innocence with anyone except you

Promise me you’ll meet me in paradise separately from the parasites

Come to me up in heaven, I’ll guide you through the lights

Live righteous so I can seek in my hands, maybe even tonight”

From the last words ever spoken from her stopped

I cried and flew back to my broke old block

This is the reason why I don’t fall in love people

I missed her mausoleum placement by the steeple

You never know whether you’ll get or miss your chance

Maybe you live long to get 2 of them in advance

To Naomi who lives until eternity and beyond

You never know the true importance of someone until they’re really gone
