[Intro]
This is dedicated
To our fallen soldiers
The ones that had our backs like a spinal cord
We gon keep you alive forever
Ain't nothing anybody can tell us
See when you was here
You showed us the way
And now we gonna run with it
And you the realest n***as I know (huh!)
[Verse 1]
This is dedicated
To the realest n***a I know
DeShaun Holton
We holdin' it down for you
That's for sure
You a brother that touched lives
God called you home just to sit by his throne and watch over us as we roam
This cursed earth
I wish you burst outta that herse
When I got word
I swear that was definantly the worst day of my life
It stung
Just like it happen with Bugz
A grown man crying
Drowning in alcohol and d**
You kept to 100,000 to that ninth power
It hadn't been for you I'd be hollerin at these cowards
But I gotta keep it cool
And handle it like you would do
True to the game's your middle name
n***a you the truth
Six brothers that followed their dreams
And its because of Proof
Irreplaceable
You the mayor
Full perspective there ain't nothin' they can tell us
So I'mma keep you closer to my heart than a blood vessel
That's Big Proof forever
[Hook](Repeat X2)
To my guardian angel (To my)
I'd like to say thanks for (Guardian Angel)
Showin' us the ways to the game you irreplaceable
This is dedicated to our brothers for sure
Never fake the realest n***as I know, I know
[Verse 2]
This is dedicated
To the realest n***a I know
I poured a shot of vodka
He downed it before the show
Everywhere I go
I'm repping you to the fullest
If I was there
I woulda jumped in front of that bullet
Since day one
We battled in your Grandmother's basement
Listenin' to tapes by J-Dilla
I was wasted
I shook your hand
You replied with a smile
Since that day
I wanted to learn how to freestyle
Determined to put the words together without jotin'
Mobbin' to that hip-hop shop to get live
You sacrificed your time and energy gladly
Just to keep everyone up in the circle remain happy
Your family is stronger than ever
Keeping it cool
Thanks to God
Time heals wounds
I'll see you soon
Sometimes it gets hard
My heart is still scarred
But I'mma be reppin' Proof forever
'Till I'm gone!
[Hook]
[Verse 3]
This is dedicated
To the realest n***a I know
I don't question our creator
On why you had to go
Everything is for a reason
It taught me about these people
And how they didn't care
Faking while they grieving
And I'm seeing things I didn't even see when you was here
It's funny how God used you
To make my vision clear
Some n***as claimed
They really knew you but they didn't
If they did
They wouldn't have been dissin' us in the system
My eyes wide
I listen
I'm steadily ducking and dodging these Jedi Mind Tricks
They dishin'
It ain't pissin' me off no more
Cuz I'm stronger
A brighter glow
I take control of the sitution
And watch them haters fold
If the rains turn to snow
Your name will be kept alive consistent
'Till its time for me to fly them skies
I'd like to say thanks for the time we shared
And now
I'd like to thank God I keep an Angel by my side
[Hook]
