[Intro: Mantra] Yo so this is a song that I wrote for our good friend Hani Galeb Jabar Who was taken from us in 2003 He was an amazing boy and an amazing friend and we miss him every day Every day Now it was Hani who encouraged me to start rhyming in the first place back in the day so If it hadn't been for him my life would've been completely different We love you bro [Verse 1: Mantra] You went from a face in the crowd To all this craziness now Regardless you're still making us proud What this ain't about is y'all standing down from a brawl You were small but you were always standing tall Its one of the many I admired you for The height of your gall Left to center thinking either ride or you fall And you were right with it all Stood directly in the eye of the storm Spitting rhymes in the face of the lord Like acid A blank page presented an open door Represented exactly what you were doing this for New facet of fascination a wholeheartedly explore Much more than beats and the verse it was the whole cause Any mic in sight was there for the rippin' Incredible insight written on texture was flippin' Your response to the heads that were dissin' Ill rip your motherfucking rib cage out and make shreds of the ribbons Any audience was destined to listen The one that was destined to be one the best in the business Subscribed to the school and never no rest for the wicked So you ran along And barely slept while they kept to their linen Facing degradation kept your position We kept it kicking till the morning was upon us Keeping it real honest And sometimes I feel I ain't gotta a lot of that in me It's times like this I wish you were still here with me [Hook: Mark Pearl & Mantra] If it hadn't been for you Reaching out for me then I would not be here Its times like this I wish you were still here with me If it hadn't been for you I would not be me so This is all for you [Verse 2: Mantra] I was working in the lab when it happened Revelation relay of a phone call happened Face slap collision with stone wall happened The cynic in me refused to believe it had happened It was a lead though To follow in tow by the HAM (??? name in the headlines and it sounds like your man) Shivered twice at the prospect Calm down son this is precaution That preposterous option will be laid to rest One step that was clear to be taken next Confirmation Acquisition of information (Yeah I just heard too) And that was all that it took Ill never forget the way that his voice quivered and shook The minute it took For me to fully understand The shock was horrible Not having you around seemed impossible An awful concept was living life like that Not before nor since have I ever cried like that Images of your body beneath the sheet still disturbs my sleep Knowing the pain you went through on that cold street The grief of a family First born child second heartbreaking tragedy Recipe for insanity A travesty Cold blooded and callous Unbelievable people capable of such physical malice But the scars left by your death Are nothing next to the years of legacy I'm a devote to ya memory [Hook] [Verse 3: Mantra] So as life without you Continues Its still you Getting me through And yes it is true I'm less confused And so much seems trivial I question my spiritual All thanks to one individual It was your power Your voice Your passion for life That drives me Provides me With my passion for life There's no overstating the impact you've had on my life That's why I'm thankful So as life without you Continues Its still you Getting me through And yes it is true I'm less confused And so much seems trivial I question my spiritual All thanks to one individual It was your power Your voice Your passion for life That drives me Provides me With my passion for life There's no overstating the impact you've had on my life That's why I'm thankful That's why I'm thankful kid
