Текст MC Lars – Twenty–Three (2011 Remix)
Текст:
Weerd Science
I know these kids
And they love to get high
Probably to try escape the same things that I
And now steamed into our psyche
At one point or another we’re all convinced that we might be
Just a tad bit broken
And only hear the bad even when good things are spoken
We find solace and find patterns in bottles
And a lot of us become the demons that we can’t abolish
So we apply the polish
Put up a front that say’s we’re okay
But in reality we’re demolished
See there’s a lot of different ways to kill yourself
While some of them are blatant others are hidden well
And when your family can’t tell
And it’s you against the world
But your whole world’s a living hell
And if you’re anything like me then you’ve gotta known that you’re not alone
And we’ve all been twenty-three
Chorus
And I wish that you hadn’t done it
Could have won it and moved on from it
Now we’ll never grow old together
But you’re in my memories…

Remix!
I wrote this song four years ago
A lot of healing has taken place since then
A girl in London told me that her boyfriend took his life
He was twenty-three
I said it hurts but it’s alright
I told her not to worry
He’d be up in Heaven waiting
I don’t have the answers
But listen this is all I’m sayin’
I’ve seen the demons too
They wanna take me down
I felt the darkness closing in like no one is around
I’ve battled with this feeling even though I keep it quiet
I miss my homie Pat
And I can’t deny it
I’ve wrestled with the guilt like maybe it was all my fault
And so I write these songs
Because it’s all I’ve got
It’s such an honor rocking mics with Science every night
Making music, touring Europe
Keeping his memory alive
We raised a grand for the AFSP
Pat, I see you homie and I hope you’re proud of me
You said that rap was magic every time I did my vocal takes
It’s funny how the heart can heal, even when you’ve felt it break
Chorus
And I wish that you hadn’t done it
Could have won it and moved on from it
Now we’ll never grow old together
But you’re in my memory
As twenty-three
MC Lars/Pat
«Ladies and gentleman, I want you to meet a good friend of mine, this is Patrick Wood»
«What’s up, Lars?»
«What’s up Pat?»
«How’re you doin’, man?»
«Good. What do you think about my recording equipment
taking up three-quarters of our small room in the Kimble dorm?»
«It’s no problem man, I love you.»
«I love you too, Pat.»
«Thanks, Lars.»
«Pat Wood, hey, that’s you!»
Chorus
And I wish that you hadn’t done it
Could have won it and moved on from it
Now we’ll never grow old together
But you’re in my memories
And I wish that you hadn’t done it
Could have won it and moved on from it
Now we’ll never grow old together
But you’re in my memory
As twenty-three
