I just listened to that song for the first time. And as wandering said, it's absolutely masterful lyricism. That said, I didn't even come close to shedding a tear. Not even close. I know the emotions and feelings he's talking about, but I've made my peace. And I'm not all that close to anyone anymore. Growing up, I lived around a lot of military families, and so most of my friends ended up moving away after a couple years of knowing them. Hurt every time. And over time I've clammed up. I imagine it's going to take a very special person to be able to make me give a damn about them. And I guarantee I'll cry my ass off if they leave. But other than that, I imagine that no matter who it is that leaves, I won't feel a damn thing. To this day there's really only one or two people who I really miss and want to get in contact with (but can't). Great song though. I really enjoy songs like that (lyrical raps with more emphasis on story than bitches/hoes).
