Papoose - 2006 Obituary lyrics

{Hook} 6 Obituary Take these bars and play'em in the cemetery Sit the ashes on the speaker if they wasn't buried Ask me if life is short I say very This is the 2006 Obituary {Verse 1} I was hurt when I heard about Gerald Levert Put in a lot of work gave fans they moneys worth The cause of his death He died from a heart attack Had to put his heart in his music to sing like that Born July 13th, 1966 Out in Cleveland, Ohio a lot of folks wasn't rich Formed a group with his brother Sean And friend Gordon They had 4 platinum albums on the charts scorin' As a soloist his music had a great feelin' R.I.P. to him he left behind 3 children {Verse 2} James Brown was born in The Great Depression era May 3rd, 1933 gets no better The cause of his death He died from pneumonia A godfather of body and soul a true soldier Originator of funk rock n roll hall of fame Of the most sampled artist of all times none greater {Hook 2x} Take these bars and play'em in the cemetery Sit the ashes on the speaker if they wasn't buried Ask me if life is short I say very This is the 2006 Obituary {Verse 3} Saddam Hussein was born in Iraq Birthplace to Tikrit District to be exact The cause of his death He was executed They hung him at the gallows He asked him to shoot him Dictator for 2 decades ain't die silent Machine overthrown his last word was Mohammad Born April 28th, 1937 US invasion cause they said he had weapons Of mass destruction but they captured nothing They gagged and hung him That's disgusting {Verse 4} Gerald R. Ford was the 38th president In 74 he was a White House resident The cause of his death They say it's not given 93 years old was the oldest president livin' The only one elected in the nationwide position He came in office after the resignation of Nixon {Hook 2x} Take these bars and play'em in the cemetery Sit the ashes on the speaker if they wasn't buried Ask me if life is short I say very This is the 2006 Obituary {Verse 5} R.I.P. to DJ Carl Blaze Sound good in the clubs and the airwaves The cause of his death 13 shots Carlos Rivera New York miss you a lot {Verse 6} Coretta Scott King The cause of her death Respiratory failure claimed her last breath Graduated with a BA in music Won a scholarship to go to school Out in Boston, Massachusetts Following her goal is to sing That's when she met a young man Named Martin Luther King Eventually got married Had a couple children Marched by his side in the civil rights movement Targeted by racism and hatred In 68 out in Tennessee Martin was assassinated {Outro} 2006 Obituary I swear I hope I don't have to do this again next year {Hook 2x} Take these bars and play'em in the cemetery Sit the ashes on the speaker if they wasn't buried Ask me if life is short I say very This is the 2006 Obituary
