Ron Tas - Tryna Stay Awake

A nine news update to a homicide investigation
At the fairgrounds of Baton Rouge
The victim is being identified as 17 year old
Sejaray Franklin Jr
According to the Sheriff’s office
Franklin was shot and killed there on Airline Highway just before 10 last night
Yeah
This song is for
Everyone that is grieving a loved one that they just recently lost
Even if they been gone for a long time
I just hope that you can still relate to this
R.I.P
Yeah
I’m just tryna stay awake tonight
Don’t wanna go to sleep and see who died
I’m just tryna free my mind
They motivate me to grind
I’m just tryna stay awake tonight
I’m just tryna stay awake tonight
Don’t wanna go to sleep and see who died
I’m just tryna free my mind
They motivate me to grind
I’m just tryna stay awake tonight
I done lost a lot of people but in different ways (different ways)
Evan, Nique, Uncle Darrell, Florence, Sejaray
I seen better day
But I can’t get away (I can’t)
From all the pain
It’s insane, but I gotta stay awake (I do)
Don’t wanna die young
But I think I just might
I know it’s people sayin’ not to speak it on my life
But it’s only right (it’s right)
That I tell the truth (the truth)
What else can you do
When the people that you love leave you
It’s a cycle, it repeats (it does)
They either die or they leave (they do)
I’m takin’ time to grieve (I am)
Can you see, how I bleed (I do)
I just need a lil help
Too many lives on my belt
Too many people I met
Can really say I’m a vet
And it hurts to my core, why you leave me (why you leave me)
I was hopin’ one day you see me on TV (see me on TV)
But I guess, I’ll see yall in heaven
I’m cryin’ but I’ll get better
These tears can’t get no wetter
Here’s my letter
Nah, nah, nah (Ooo)
I’m just tryna stay awake tonight
Don’t wanna go to sleep and see who died
I’m just tryna free my mind
They motivate me to grind
I’m just tryna stay awake tonight
I’m just tryna stay awake tonight
Don’t wanna go to sleep and see who died
I’m just tryna free my mind
They motivate me to grind
I’m just tryna stay awake tonight
