LOST SECRET - Requiem For The Fallen lyrics

rate me

To a place, I recall

I was there so, long ago

What we have done for ourselves alone will die with us

What we have done for others and for the world remains and is immortal

Dear Weldon, you told me ya reason for rhyming was only to reach the children

But now that you gone I pick my mic back up and carry on

Your mission even though you didn't rhyme with precision

It's my decision to perpetuate your vision

And now I'll never rhyme the same

I'll always have a message and no matter the temptation

I won't misuse my blessing manifesting

The truth in a positive light and spread knowledge

Spark domes and infuse the wisdom within my poems

Nobody knows why you went out like you did

But that's in the past and now we just gotta try to live

Without you, but you affected so many heads

We relied upon you never once imagining you'd be dead

I heard you left a note saying learn from my fall

But how can I learn from what I don't know and can't call

I'd rather remember you as a war-torn soldier in your prime

Who took his own bullet and just went out before his time

Weldon Irv' not bein here with me

When a soldier ends his life with his own gun

Beef is tryin' to figure out what to tell his son

Yo Weldon, if you was here you'd probably say

So many dreams, so many seamless fights

So many fiend for pipes, with schemes

Dope fiend leans in exchange for life

The vice of beef with the rights to heat, what lives we lead

The wounds of Christ bleed and incite blood rights to greed

They feed off pain, parasites of gain, with they sights on fame

Got ice in they veins, and not enough light in they frames

No shackles and chains, just bullets and brains

And lost souls with the caskets closed from the birth pangs

Where the thugs hang, deep in the drug game

And the street wars where the street whores look like mustangs

And they bust thangs, the dust claims it's own

Momma singin' that sad song on how he "lived so fast and died so young"

What's left to overcome? Who's left to tell my son

Of a requiem of a father who really loved them?

So I'm a pour libation, relate the holy wisdom of Weldon Irvine

Divine Mind of Holy Vision now

This to those whose spirits transcended, physical no longer holding your essence

From the footprints y'all left we've learned the most valuable lessons

We salvage the blessing of your undying force

I carry this torch for every stray bullet, life support plug pulled quick

Suicidal thought, that was acted upon with a full clip

Living this life and we living it trife

But beyond it all we gotta try to be living it right

Cause uh, the lessons of those who passed away

Give us, reason to be more than just ash and clay

Until my last of days, I'm a represent a little bolder

Gotta admit your death made this heart a little closer

So rest in peace, to both my grandfathers

The rest of this verses authors, you looking down upon us

And I'll see y'all, when my spirit levitates

Cause whom virtue has united, death shall never separate
