R.I.P. Pops, Auntie, and Matty G,
The latter 2, tragedies,
Mad about, how it had to be,
Auntie I know you're happy we,
Found our footing so gradually,
Knowing societies mad at we,
Just for how f*cking black we be,
Théo she been popping,
But her children you'd have to see,
Gravitational naturally,
And my dog is they daddy see,
Former Black Panther,
Friends with Afeni,
I'm a Biggie fan, but loved that you used to watch her baby,
It takes a village and you were a superstar in mine,
You were so New York, I had to fall in line,
Remember when you used come and visit from the city,
Couldn't sleep, couldn't wait, had this kiddy giddy,
When you passed I couldn't cope like I died inside,
Then you visited me in my dream and I just cried and cried,
Never said a word, but I know we're unified,
Still miss you, looking for you in the bluest sky,

I'm on my ship, we're 2 ships that pass in the night,
We wave the same flag, under mine I'm getting right,

I'm on my ship, we're 2 ships that pass in the night,
We wave the same flag, under mine I'm getting right,

I'm on my ship, we're 2 ships that pass in the night,
We wave the same flag, under mine I'm getting right,

I'm on my ship, we're 2 ships that pass in the night,
We wave the same flag, under mine I'm getting right,

Mattylicious delicious my mother f*cking dog,
Taken too soon, never made it through the fog,
I thank God we reconnected before you were selected,
Bottle after bottle was how my monument for you was erected,
More unhappy than I knew, fool not to detect it,
Life of the party, never took the time to dissect it,
Worst advice you ever gave me was "*ss is *ss",
I got in so much trouble, I did not pass the class,
Stephanie still loves you, she posts it every year,
Iambii's still my peoples, to me she's very dear,
And it's very clear,
That life ain't very fair,
Otherwise, you'd be here,
Planning trips, for the new year,
Last time I saw you alive, we hugged and cried and cried,
Almost fell out, hadn't spoken on foolish pride,
Never said a word, but I know we're unified,
Still miss you, looking for you in the bluest sky,

I'm on my ship, we're 2 ships that pass in the night,
We wave the same flag, under mine I'm getting right,

I'm on my ship, we're 2 ships that pass in the night,
We wave the same flag, under mine I'm getting right,

I'm on my ship, we're 2 ships that pass in the night,
We wave the same flag, under mine I'm getting right,

I'm on my ship, we're 2 ships that pass in the night,
We wave the same flag, under mine I'm getting right,

How do I start, head or the heart,
Can't lie, sometimes I felt like, we was better apart,
Moms told me she knew she'd be single when she had me,
Knew the strength of a woman, plus you chose you a baddy,
But I ain't mad see, and I'll keep it classy,
Went to therapy, ain't got no issues with my daddy,
You weren't there, some other kids were and it went badly,
Learned to be good with what I got up in your absence sadly,
Reconnected when we both lived in FLA,
Shortly after I moved away you married another Bae,
Visited with Théo, learned we weren't alone,
Got 12 other other siblings that we've never even known,
Well actually knew a few you, you said they was just our cousins,
Not even moms knew, for 13 years you fronted,
Put myself in your shoes, and I could barely stomach,
Skeletons in your closet to the point it's haunted,

What a life, what a rolling stone,
But ain't no use in being mad, I'ma hold my own,
Gotta thank you for my island boy golden tone,
And I think we got the same libido,
In a zone we own,
Wish I knew about your life like back in Jamaica,
How you immigrated, into where they hate you, for your nature,
I know you saw some things, did it make or break ya,
Immigrant, activist, mover and shaker,
I remember you used to rock rings like Laker,
In the corvette, banging Sade then Luther later,
Then i remember when I saw you in your last days,
Didn't recognize you, knew it was your last phase,
In the moment, wasn't thinking about your past ways,
Plus feeling my mortality as my dad lays,
We said our last words just between you and I,
Hoping next time we connects, up in the bluest sky,

I'm on my ship, we're 2 ships that pass in the night,
We wave the same flag, under mine I'm getting right,

I'm on my ship, we're 2 ships that pass in the night,
We wave the same flag, under mine I'm getting right,

I'm on my ship, we're 2 ships that pass in the night,
We wave the same flag, under mine I'm getting right,

I'm on my ship, we're 2 ships that pass in the night,
We wave the same flag, under mine I'm getting right,

Still miss you, looking for you in the bluest sky
