[T.I., Trae Tha Truth, DJ Frank White - Doe B Eulogy lyrics]
I'm up here to celebrate the
Life of a young man
Who's path I crossed I say about
A little over a year
Ago and the story Doc told
Was 999 percent accurate i'm
A tell you what happened from where he left
Off i get a call doc say "you
Gotta meet my cousin, he on his way up
To see you" I said "alright man
Tell him to meet
Me over here at I was at I think
's mall, plaze or something so me, Doe
Frank
White and Frank said to me "alright, what we
Need to do to get out of Montgomery, alabama
I say "well aif you look
Around man you'll see
That you already done made it out of
Montgomery, Alabama we ain't enough
Man you guys done
Did a pretty good job so far, already
We sat here man, you know
We sat here for about
An hour then we went out to the truck man
Doe playing some unreleased music
So i sat there and I said
"so y'all really got something huh?"
From that day forward, I admire Doe
Because as a young man
The age that he was he
Always presented himself to be
More mature it’s very rare that you find
Somebody at the age of 20
21 and sit them down, in front
Of you know, someone I guess
They aspire to be
Like and they are as composed, they're
Poised and posture like and looking
Eye with
This person, like you know, I got the
Same ability and the same talent
And the same potential to be
On the level that you are
Right now it's very rare
That you find that somebody the age of 20
21 and you could walk them into a room with a
Nelly, or you could walk them into a
Room with a Timbaland or Jay Z
And they not lose their
Cool, they’re composed
Postured, with the morals, the standards
And the principles that
Were instilled in him from
His family: his mom, his dad, grand mama
Brothers, sisters, aunts
Uncles he walked like these
People are watching him
All the time you know what I'm
Saying? Like he had people to answer to
So he can't carry himself nothing less than
Know what I'm saying? And I saw that
In him day one, off the top
And that is what drew me to him
Even more so beyond the music
Over here at Hustle Gang
We have a host of artists
All of them know that I tell them ‘listen
Your talent is only going
To get you so far’ it’s
The things that you learn, the
Things that you are able to
Do outside of the booth, is what's going
To separate you from the rest i
Said the same thing to Glen
He never left the studio… he said
‘I’d rather be here than the club
Simply because I know this is
Going to pay off' Remarks
Like that man, it was extremely
Rare to hear a man, at
A young age, speak in that
Manner over here man
A lot of people look at
Us like a record company
A lot of people look at
Us like a entertainment house
To be honest with you, this is a family
This is a family business i
Will never let his
Life be lived in vain all of my resources
All of my relationships, all of my efforts
All of my energy will be put forth
To make sure that his dream lives
On and I speak on behalf
Of myself, I speak on behalf
Of the entire Grand Hustle
Hustle Gang family i speak on behalf of
Blueprint i speak on behalf of anybody
Who got any love for me show
Some love for Doe B love
