You’ve watched these cars
and raised these bars to levels
not exceeded or repeated
by anyone until you say so.

You’ve screamed more times
and wrote more rhymes than I have
ever gasped for breath, in death,
I will not mourn you.

Until your lies subside
these flies will not go away,
they’ll stay unless you tell the honest truth
of how you keep on living.

And when I watch your cars and bars
fade away, you know I’ll stay
unless you lie, and still,
I will not mourn you.
