Legends Never Die (Daddy's Halo)

[Intro] [Hook] I can see your halo [Verse 1] Yo, my heart feel like it's suffering from strangulation Tears flying outta my eyes, my heart racing and my hands shaking The last days of your life as a cancer patient I'm staring at your corpse praying and waiting for you to awaken 21 gun salute for the hero, the burial was beautiful Both Green Berets and Screaming Eagles attended the funeral I was mad at God like he murdered you As a father you couldn't have done a better job All six of your children basically worshipped you If I needed advice I always came to you to discuss it You was the only person since the day I was born I ever trusted Through poverty, death, disease and sickness You always somehow found a way to turn the situation optimistic I was a big fat kid overweight So to clown me you bought me the Fat Boys, it was my very first rap tape In the neighborhood you had a name, you was feared and respected Other fathers walked out on their kids and left them neglected My only regret about not selling out and getting richer Is that if I made millions I could've shared it and spent it with you I miss you, I love you daddy [Hook] [Verse 2] Yo, part good samaritan, part criminal, a master with weapons Nice with his hands, he was Rugged Man the original As children we saw you losing your sanity Even though we watched you struggle financially You kept the love in the family Daddy, I'm thinking about you every day though I can see you holding a machine gun in heaven with angel wings and a halo You was always quick to pick a pocket You're the only one in heaven Probably slick enough to pull off stealing God's wallet In life the Lord ain't really deal you a fair one I watched you bury your baby boy, your daughter and your grandson You lived one hell of a life from being highly decorated To being homeless sleeping in the park with your pregnant wife If I acted up in the restaurant I knew I was being brave Cause you'd take me to the bathroom and spank me 'til I knew how to behave Taught me prayers at night and you'd tell me Bible stories Taught me history, Crazy Horse and his tribal glories How many times as a kid I seen you handcuffed by the cops? You taught us black music, Sam Cooke, The Drifters, The Four Tops Taught me about boxing, Ray Leonard and Larry Holmes Around the same time you left my mother for Debbie Jones I told the world your true story and after the record got made Uncommon Valor, some said I dropped the verse of the decade Everywhere you went you would tell the world about your son Rugged Man You was so proud of me, daddy, you was my number one fan You was always bragging about me to no purpose On your deathbed you'd play my Mayweather interview for the nurses Losing you, daddy, it hurt more than any physical pain You was too young when the cancer went from your throat and into your brain You was my teacher, my idol, I worshipped you, you was the best, daddy You lived a tough life, now get some rest, daddy I love you daddy [Hook]
