I was so high, words could not describe this feeling. The worse part about it was I was at the hospital by Jamal's side. I sat looking at him with my hand over his.

A- Jamal if you can read my mind then say hey

Kim

A- Jamal!

Kim

A- Jamal.

Kim

A- Jamal. Jamal you can stop saying my name now.

You really can hear me?

A- Yeah. You're like in my head forreal.

Am I dead

A- No you've been in a coma, just wake up

You don't think I've been trying to get out of this

A- I don't know what to tell you. I didn't mean to say that. Yo Jamal everything I'm saying in my head you just hear.

We thinking out loud.

A- no, never. I visit you almost everyday.

You always cared about people. Always put others first

A- stop Jamal. I just need you to wake up

I'm trying. You  just need to keep doing what you do

A- and what's that?

Singing, performing, just making this world happy

A- this world is fucking cruel. I mean look at what they did to you and then look where you're about to end up when you wake up
