O.D.B./Luther Tribute

[Intro: Solomon Childs] Dedications... we love ya'll [Solomon Childs] Another lost icon, I can't believe O.D.B A/K/A Ason, is gone... A brother, a friend and a father A scholar, a wise man and a doctor A pioneer, that influenced the minds of many Family orientated, the God's face should of been on the gold penny The whole Wu at the Arena, we repped for real that night But I knew something wasn't right, that night at the reunion It's like the fans was so tuned in Chanting "O.D.B.!", waiting for the moment he moved in I remember when I first the God With RZA and Popa Wu, at the studio in Brooklyn That was the first time, I saw the definition of Brooklyn The heart, the soul, and the hunger of Brooklyn [Peace] Dirty, Ol' Dirty.. Oh how we loved to rhyme It's a shame, he's gone from us... He was one of a kind... one of a kind... [Solomon Childs] A voice of gold, that echoed off the neighborhood poles With Supreme Father figaros Then watched some of the livest thugs break down And sing Luther songs... To the jazz players, blowing "Hear & Now" Out the horns, such an icon I wish I could of done a song with him, before he was gone My mother can't believe he gone What a phenomenal man to the music world Love songs, that could of changed the world Charisma, with the smile of God I know we gotta go, but it's funny That the lord chose Luther's card But now when I hear the angel sing in the sky Or see a beautiful star cross You can believe that that's the late great, Mr. Vandross [Shellz] Luther, Luther... You set the world on fire, world on fire... He can touch and heal your heart, heal your heart... Now he's up above, up above... [Outro: Solomon Childs] To the families of O.D.B. and Luther Vandross Let God be with you... check that out...
