lyrics
[Verse 1: Fellowman]
When you hear about what happened, even if you knew it was close,
there's a piece of you that won't believe it's true & think it's a joke,
like any second now, they're gonna walk through that door there
& say "surprise," I'mma say "yeah, you gave me a good scare,
but don't do that shit again! Never again! Don't you dare
play with my feelings like that, it's not fair, I wasn't prepared,
but ok, let's get some food. If you're not hungry we can share."
Then they disappear & you realize you were talking to the air,
& it's real--your whole world tips & the past tumbles away,
the last time you made them laugh & what you never got to say
& the future spools out in front of you like a sad movie,
birthdays gon' be the worst days, the first year or 2 or 3.
Then one day, you realize a full 24 hour day went
by without you thinking about them, you feel like you betrayed them,
cuz you don't want to move on, even though you're attempting to,
somehow it feels like that would negate all they ever meant to you.
But they'd want you to make use of the time that you've got left to use,
plus there ain't no way you could ever truly forget the dude.
This is for Norm & Tom, Courdeja & my uncle Jerry,
ntate Mabooe, Jacob & Jackie & uncle Terry.
They taught me some of the hardest lessons, and mourning an artist
is cool & all, but the people around you got your back regardless,
so this is the end of putting entertainers on pedestals.
The heroes in my life deserve to get a few--
in the name of the fallen.
[Verse 2: Remy St. Clair]
Cheers to the ones who came before you & I,
for every battle fought & every mile they walked they kept they stride.
Moments & memories will keep your name alive,
the flesh may die, ashay, but the energy survives, now.
Now they reside stress-free on the other side,
vibing with the ancestors, scenic views in the sky.
You walked with pride & wore your heart on your sleeves,
lessons learned are as vital as the air that you breathe, so
[Chorus: Remy St. Clair]
Light a candle for the fallen,
put your lighters up high.
Don't you hear the angels calling
as the saints testify?
[Verse 3: Remy St. Clair]
Manky & Max, we miss you, guide us with shining light,
Busta I know you cooking, chefin' the afterlife,
so many called home like Buddha & auntie Jo,
Money Monroe, Bootsy Collins on the radio.
Ronald & Pearl set the pace on how to keep the faith,
place an L in outer space for Laced Up Grace,
Rinker, Tinky & Morgan, all taken too soon,
& only god knows when we'll sing our final tune.
So I value all the disciple & cherish the affection,
every bit of nourishment, time & direction.
I wanted you to hear this while you cloud-hoppin',
you may be physically gone but you'll never be forgotten.
[Chorus]
