The Left - Homage lyrics

Dedicated to those who no longer with us man
When you have that special
Someone that's in your life
They help shape and mold you
And you realize they're no longer with you
You start to - just appreciate life a little
More you know what I mean?
Make the best outta what you
Got for right now you feel me? Lemme explain

I flash back as I start to drift
Pondering on the days of my
Youth as a reminisce
That rare love is a special gift
That's why I treasured the moments that
We shared in the days abliss
I can't remember when we first encountered
'Cause real recognize real off sight ain't
No need to doubt it
We ran cyphers, challenged any competitor
Who thought he could do better


And got his head severed
You schooled me on the laws of life
Embracing me like only a brother
Can and you sacrificed
A true soldier, for the lack of a better word
You got an honorable discharged
Your time's served so I pray for the day we
Meet in a better place and we can do it all
Over lookin' at yesterday
But, I'ma keep you in my
Prayers till' that time arrives
You were a blessing in disguise
To so many lives


Comin' up in the 80s
A lotta families withered
Main due to the crack sales and mass killings
When my moms couldn't carry on the marathon
You picked up the baton and kept pushing on
Raising me with the values
Only a mother gives
Gave me a reason to strive
Forth for the positive
I can remember on the early years - how you
Taught me about Abraham and you came to tears
I never thought I would live to see
That I'd be the one that's
Responsible for you're well-being
It was the least I could do
For all you did for me
I could never repay you with any type of fee
You left us in the best
Condition someone could leave
Bearing witness erasing all of your bad deeds
So I pray we enjoy each other's company
Before the face of our
Lord blessed with eternity
