(Yeah
Cam what up bro?)
[Verse 1: Vic Mensa]
What up Cam?
It's your little bro
It's been a while since we spoke but it's hidden fo'
The other day I saw your sister bro
Sad it had to be at another funeral
That was a wild summer, same one that took Rod from us
When I heard they stabbed him in his side
Swear to god I could feel that sh** in my stomach
Yo I heard it was some n***as from the wild hunnids
That sneaky b**h set you up man
f** man that sh** was tough man
Over some petty a** weed
I was like anybody but Cam
I called Autumn immediately
Needed someone to feed it to me
I'm I couldn't stomach it on my own
I wanted to throw up like I was chuggin' patron
Every time I run through your number in my phone
I think about bullet holes runnin through your dome
I just saw you that week on 53rd
I'm tearing up man it's hard to put this sh** in words
It's like Macklemore at the Grammys, man
I just feel like you got some sh** you didn't deserve
You was a good n***a, but the good n***as always die young, f**ing with them hood n***as
I know you had your hands in that dirt, but
They ain't have to end you out outside that Kenwood Liquors
Now sh**'ll never ever ever be the same for me
None of this money takes my pain from me
But still for whatever it's worth
I'm just writin' you this letter
Send it to heaven on earth

[Verse 2]
What up lil' Vic?
It's your big bro
It's been a while, what's good though?
I see you on the road like 10-4
I ain't surprised I knew you was gonna k** em tho
I heard your song Holy Holy
That sh** really touched me man
You were just a little bony homie
To see you in front of thousand times of people, screaming my name, man that sh** did a lot for me
Sometimes heaven gets lonely
I talked to your grandma, she said "Tell Vic I'm proud for me"
I got that little liquor you poured out forever me
I was drinking with Ryan, I know you you miss him
You really need to keep your squad closely, I mean Joey, Kanay, Smoko, Towkio
Your ride and die homies
Cause to be honest them other n***as is all phony
But you know you got to stay off them d** man, they no good for you
I see you in that bathroom stall suicidal with that gun in hand
How could you wanna die? sh** is so good for you
Heaven ain't that bad though
Just a lot of fun to sunny days, mad dope
I smoked with Kurt Cobain yesterday, he said he liked your sh**
And to tell you that you on the right path though
You got a lot off to people counting on you
HOV would probably put the house up on you, just don't lose focus
I know that this sh** get dark, but when it feels the farthest
Sometimes, it really be the closest
Don't cry, I'mma see you when it's time
And it ain't time, so keep on your grind
Cause trust me you're gonna get through the worst
Sincerely k**a Cam
From Heaven on Earth

What up young Vic?
You don't know my name
I'm just another n***a caught up in the street game
I been through things, seen things
I know this was might sound crazy but let me explain
It was a dark night, I got call from this broad right
She said I'm hittin you about this sh**
Because I know you got stripes like off white
I got a lick for you, you got a car right?
You'll need it for my crib in an hour
He just got out the shower
"Nothin' I'm just talkin' to my momma"
Now listen close, I can't talk any louder
He got 20 pounds in his trunk
He's bout to take it up north from my crib to drop it off to the plug
You could get a bit of the cash if you quick
And I know he ain't strapped because I just hid his gun
I asked her who the n***a was she ain't say a name
I just had a baby man I had to make some change
I was hurt, how could I turn away a stain
So I called up my brothers like Damon Wayans
We piled up in my Monte Carlo, pulled up to the b**h crib
Seen a white Ford Explorer shorty just told me to follow
He was sittin on 75th, he bent on Stony and made a stop at the Kenwood Liquors
He ran in to grab something drink
And when he stepped out he had a bottle of Jameson in his hand
We rolled up and put that banger to his face
"Give me everything in the car, n***a everything"
He start stumbling like "I-I ain't got anything"
I said "Shut the f** up man, open the trunk up fam
Before I gotta let this hammer bang"
He reached for the keys and put him in
The trunk popped open I saw the weed in Saran
I said step back, he ain't listen though
I saw his hand reaching again
I was scared, I ain't gon lie
That's what it was
I thought he had a gun, my eyes went black
I let two shots go (two gunshots)
He was layin in the ground in a puddle of blood
I know it ain't right
I think about it every night
I ain't even mean to take his life
We livin in the hood where ain't sh** free and your man just had to pay the ultimate price
A week later I saw your post on the 'Gram
RIP DARE with a picture of him
I recognized the face from somewhere and then I realized
Damn
It was your n***a Cam
