pwettybernicee: "This song is tearing me apart. Alex just reminded me of my late sis, a woman who would always ask if you’ve informed God first before coming to her. A woman who was my god on earth, a lot of widows depended on her. A mother and father to we her siblings. Sometimes i wonder if there’s God. This kind of pain n last forever… RIP Champ"
