[verse]
How often do you meet someone with something you can learn,
who gives you everything expecting nothing in return,
I was just a boy, life was nothing of concern,
he opened up the door and showered me with the word, I
was saved before I knew I was in danger,
he took this blank canvas and painted something sacred,
gave me a nation I could never repay him,
I would never betray him, fuck is you niggas thinking,
on the kitchen floor wailing, my brother gone,
he use to tell me "yo I see this shit already God",
I stood in front of your body and quoted lessons,
your head was cold as ice, the last image I'm left with,
carry this heavy load, down separate roads,
cuz we don't kick it like we did without you to hold,
it all together like the glue you was known to be,
you taught that a man stands on his own feet,
a helping hand to people who truly need it,
an intimidation to niggas tryna mistreat em,
early in the am, gym then rain dance and back on streets, we'll meet up on Shelia,
yea
going thru the science of life over a 6 pack,
You accepted folks as is I finally get that,
told me to teach cuz out of all the seeds he planted, i'm the only one able to give back,
late night, elbows bent, speaking candidly,
laughing at this world that we in, and it's insanity,
you were not a friend you were family,
so when I gave the eulogy I spoke from understanding G,
tears in my eyes as I listen, to Broadway prescription,
and my mind starts drifting, to the tates creek day and basement on Mt McKinley,
when everything was different,
a room full of potential, if only we knew,
24 years of rolling wit you, even when you did ya bid I was there,
got the letters for proof,
so many memories they often run together in truth,
I could go on forever from the present to youth,
I could write a book on all that you taught, all that you gave,
cuz it's so many people you touched and lives you saved,
and here's when you'd say that it's all peace and love,
the primordial God force pulsating above
