Pink Laces Lyrics

[Verse 1: Deante' Hitchcock]

It was a blessing just to meet you
The girl behind the smile man even cancer couldn't beat you
Pink laces in my favorite sneakers
X and O's to my favorite girl
I know a lot of people know your story
Girl I promise Imma tell the world

Pink laces in my favorite sneakers
It's hard coping but we staying strong
They say angels walk amongst the living
But God gotta call his angels home


[Hook: Deante']
[?]
I can't believe my ears and what everybody's saying
Boy I tell ya folks don't know the half
I would give it all just to take one ride
How I used to kick it on the front porch, you
How I used to lay back and smoke weed with you
All the little things and all the joints we'd do
Now I'm just missing you

[Verse 2: Deante']
Pink laces, air Jordans and pink laces
Ain't no doubt Mrs. Peters, see your daughter's amazing
See the dreams she affected, see the lives that she changing
With a smile that contagious, with a smile that contagious

Every night I was tripping, every night I was praying
Trying to talk to my angel, hope she hear what I'm saying
Felt like God wasn't listening, pain pills and resentment
Ever since you departed, felt like something was missing
Our Brianna was different, our Brianna was gifted
Our Brianna was special, my Brianna was silly
Our Brianna was loving, still feel her in spirit

Hope there's music in heaven, I'm hoping God lets you hear this
Still remember the day I met you
Girl I swear I'd never forget you
Goddamn God blessed us
If you fell from the sky I'd be right here to catch you
Damn, you know it hurt to see you go though
But baby you gone and you ain't got to struggle here no more
Looking up I can feel it when you smiling
Hope you know I'm thinking bout you, I got us, I pinky promise

[Hook:]


[Verse 3: Deante']

Pink laces in my favorite sneakers
X and O's to my favorite girl
I know a lot of people know your story
But girl I promise Imma tell the world

Purple laces in my favorite sneakers
It's hard coping but we staying strong

Proof that angels walk amongst the living
But God gotta call his angels home
Looking back on all the crazy nights
Looking back on all the endless days
All the things we never got to do
All the shit I never got to say
Lights low riding through our city
Your Christmas picture on my screensaver
Girl I swear I'll never say goodbye
For you and me it's more like see you later


[Outro:]

It was a blessing just to meet you
The girl behind the smile, man even cancer couldn't beat you
The girl behind the smile, man even cancer couldn't beat you
The girl behind the smile, man even cancer couldn't beat you
