Dial Tone

[Intro]

"The number you have dialled, has been changed. The new number is... Please note, the new number is..."

[Verse 1]

Hey man, I know it's been a long time
Since we last spoke but I've always kept you in my mind
Ever since you passed away over two years ago
I keep you in my heart always, hope you know
Not letting my dreams go yet, won't let you down
Still making music, I've done 6 mixtapes now!
Hope you're proud of me, and all of my energy
I'm actually doing a new album in your memory
I wonder if you've met my grandfather up there yet
You're gone from this world, but I never forget
That you were my best friend while you were alive
Even if your death so weighed heavy on my mind

I’m doing my damn best to keep out of drama
If someone starts, they’ll be facing karma
Your family's packed up and moved elsewhere
To this day, I have no idea who now lives there
I've done performances at local open mics
I know if you're still here, then you'd be by my side
I still get angry with the bastard that did you dirty
And made your young life end so early
Debbie still misses you, even after so long
And Maureen still cannot believe that you're gone
Sorry if I ramble, I've got a lot on my mind now
Especially with my life here on this solid ground

I miss you bro, I think of you nearly every day
Hope I see you again when I pass away
Along with my family once their time’s through
They cannot wait after so long, to see you
If you see Granddad Ted, please tell him I said hello
I'd love to talk some more, but now I've got to go
Wish you love and peace in your new quiet home
And when we speak again, you'll hear more than a dial tone

[Break]

(*3 rings*)
"We're sorry, the number you have dialled is not in service at this time."

[Verse 2]

Hey Jack, it's been a while since we last spoke
I understand that right now your spirit's broke
But please don’t let my passing be your kryptonite
Please don’t let that be why you don’t sleep at night
In fact, I spoke to Lil Peep recently
He responded to your music rather decently
Jahseh believes that you’re a smart young man
Even Mac Miller’s heard you and said he’s a fan
I wish you can see Heaven here, you’ll be amazed;
I've been smoking with Bob Marley & Kurt Cobain
I saw Elvis & Michael perform a few days ago
2Pac, Biggie & Proof were also at the show!

Don't worry about my family, just look after yours
I know they'll be 'round to help you open doors
I hear you and I'm proud of the lyrics that you spit
I also wish nothing but the best for the other kids
I understand both you and Luis have your issues
But don't cry when you reminisce, I also miss you
And keep your head up man, 'cause you never know;
You might see me a lot sooner than you think, bro
You're on your 6th mixtape already? I'm impressed!
If I worked as hard as you, I'd only end up stressed!
I've always been a fan of your music, that'll never stop!
And I'm so excited for when your album finally drops

Anyway bro, I'd love to chat to you some more
But I've got a few things up here to perform
A concert, maybe some skateboarding after I'm done
So tell my family you had a message from their son
And tell yours there's no need for any more hurt
Tell my girlfriend I miss her if you ever see her
Until I see you up here, I hope you get well known
And next time I call, you'll hear more than a dial tone
