[Intro: Whitney Houston]
You make me smile with my heart
[Chorus]
Rest in peace to Whitney
Sitting and reminiscing it finally hit me
Childhood legends don't ever make it to fifty
Whitney, Heavy D, Michael Jackson, Pac and Biggie
Making me think about n***as who rocking with me
I pray to God this music sh** can keep them alive
'Cause childhood brethren don't make it to twenty-five
Trayvon to Freddie Gray
Still wishing for better days
[Verse 1]
Back then my friends would grab me to play
Now the hoods flooded with burners n***as grab it and spray
Don't get caught up in the rain
My momma told me on the phone
It's 2:30 in the A.M
You still not at home?
All my friends dropped out like it's true that school do k**
You hustle like they hustle you gon' end up in the Schuylk**
That's why we do this music
Cooking up this soul hoping that my n***as use it
Don't take for granted or lose it like
[Chorus]
Rest in peace to Whitney
Sitting and reminiscing it finally hit me
Childhood legends don't ever make it to fifty
Whitney, Heavy D, Michael Jackson, Pac and Biggie
Making me think about n***as who rocking with me
I pray to God this music sh** can keep them alive
'Cause childhood brethren don't make it to twenty-five
Trayvon to Freddie Gray
Still wishing for better days
[Verse 2]
To all my n***as whipping in the kitchen
Don't ever lose that rider ambition
And this is for my brother's brother
Though I never met you
Know your brother loved you
Pray you looking down on him
I know you gon' smile
They let us onto stages and you know we goin' wild
Momma I know that I'm your only child
But this sh** is my destiny
Just peep the recipe
All the trust my brothers invest in me is bring out the best in me
I mean that
