[Verse 1]
Time been running out the clock hath runneth down
I'm done fighting to be free the inner being found
And trying to be me, creating unique sounds
R.I.P the MC who used to rock the crowds
And when he was alive, he always kept it live
He put himself aside, live or die, bust or ride
Don't even try to wonder why
They called him Father L because he was that type of guy
He'll always love his girl, he wanted to see the world
He paid attention to detail, complete and thorough
The poetry and prose like Henry David Thoreau
That's how he viewed his flows, that's how he chose his words
He always kept it real, I keeped it strong like steel
Sometimes he realized it hurt how others feel
A chef in the kitchen, he good at making meals
And when it came to spitting he didn't want a deal
[Hook]
That was Pro, yo he had big dreams but didn't pretend
He was a son, a brother, lover and a friend
He was a man amongst men, reminisce and
Celebrate his life now that it's after the end
Now that its after the end, reminisce
Celebrate now it's after the end
[Verse 2]
He hoped you call his name when he's long gone
And make the hip hop hall of fame with one his songs
He wasn't into playing games, kept that minimal
Tame, didn't need a cage like wild animals
He always liked good things, appreciated beauty
He tried to do the right thing, that was his call of duty
Plus he had big dreams but wanted to do them duly
With prudent movements, avoided traps like b**by
A family man, and he really loved his grams
He had high demands, sometimes he'd repremand
Then generously approach with open hands
He wasn't afraid to speak up or take a stand
And if you didn't know, he'd help you understand
And all he wanted was a home and a plot of land
To travel across the globe walking on the sand
He was Pro, L-Productions, Head Of Command
[Hook]
That was Pro, yo he had big dreams but didn't pretend
He was a son, a brother, lover and a friend
He was a man amongst men, reminisce and
Celebrate his life now that it's after the end
Now that its after the end, reminisce
Celebrate now it's after the end
[Verse 3]
Sometimes they called him Pro, sometimes they called him L
Appreciated solitude all by himself
And as a ghost he hoped his soul wouldn't go to Hell
He never needed to be famous wanted known well
And if you shared a secret, he would never tell
A lion with loyalty like no one else
Brought good ideas, worked real hard, tried to earn his belt
Would never wish his worst rivals have to go to jail
And when he said goodbye, he ended it with peace
He was hard-headed when it came to enemies
Could hold a grudge for eternity
Loved opportunities to instruct and teach
The food critic knew the right places to eat
Each and every blue moon he'd make a new beat
And he believed in honor plus he wished to succeed
That's who he used to be
He never made a promise that he wouldn't keep
That's Pro
[Hook]
That was Pro, yo he had big dreams but didn't pretend
He was a son, a brother, lover and a friend
He was a man amongst men, reminisce and
Celebrate his life now that it's after the end
Now that its after the end, reminisce
Celebrate now it's after the end
Ain't no more...
