In Loving Memory

In your memory,

I’m going to hold our family down.

In your memory,

I got to stand tall and on solid ground.

In your memory,

Loyalty over respect and money.

In your memory,

No longer moving like a dummy.

I knew you’d leave before me.

I warned you damn near everyday,

Told in every single way

Placed demands on you,

Even put my hands on you.

Not to hurt you but to stop you,

Had to grip you up before the cops do.

I must have slipped or I simply failed,

Still got caught up in this streets over drugs sells.

Now I see why Pac say aint no g’s in hell.

Your heart was so big.

Held ya peops down; no gig.

Give’em the shirt off your back.

Didn’t care if they was White, Rican , or Black.

In your memory,

I’m going to hold our family down.

In your memory,

I got to stand tall and on solid ground.

In your memory,

Loyalty over respect and money.

In your memory,

No longer moving like a dummy.

I got to let you know that we were trapped,

And god chose you to take the rap,

Now I’m supposed to live thinking this way.

Missing you every minute of the day.

You were my other half before I had a wife,

But you still had respect for my life

And you loved her like I do.

The minute she heard you died ,she cried too.

And sped through the traffic jumping in and out the lanes.

Your leaving us only added to her pain.

And mommy was insane.

In the kitchen on the floor

And you can see that she don’t want to live no more!!

And our sisters didn’t believe the police,

And all I could scream was what about my niece?

In your memory,

I’m going to hold our family down.

In your memory,

I got to stand tall and on solid ground.

In your memory,

Loyalty over respect and money.

In your memory,

No longer moving like a dummy.
