It's been a few years now, time flies

It was like yesterday, I was wiping my eyes

From my cries of you leavin' my life

But I realize when I cry, well you up in paradise

Don't get me wrong, I still miss you to this day

And I wish you could witness

your little cousin on the stage

But some things change, it's the way things go

21st birthday probably got your wings and halo

But you always been an angel in disguise

Now stuntin' to an angel in the skies

Step back put your picture to the side

Close my eyes with my head up high reminisce your life

Thinkin' 'bout the times we had way back we were reppers

Flashbacks to the past ain't as bad as I expect it was

But you ain't gone, you just live in the sky

You had one life to live

and you were too sick to die

Take my hand and hold it tight,

I will never let go no not for life

Take my hand and hold it tight,

I will never let go no not for life

Take my hand and hold it tight,

I will never let go no not for life

Take my hand and hold it tight,

I will never let go no not for life

Hey boy, how you livin' up in heaven cuz?

Even though you ain't here you know

that we still sending love

Now I know you stay true up there

'Cause I look outside, the sky's blue up there

Recall the night I have you a ride in my car

You said, "Keep on rhymin' in no time you'll be a star"

Well, you don't know this but I took that to the heart

And I use the word to motivate me to get this far

And now I'm doing big things like you said I would

And I now I'm gonna make it one day

'cause you said I could

'Cause if I want it bad enough it'll end up good

You supported me, not too many understood

I don't think you understand how much you meant to me

But things happen for a reason, this was meant to be

Cause no there's nothing hard, you livin' heavenly

And since life goes on, I hope you rest in peace.

Take my hand and hold it tight,

I will never let go, no, not for life

Take my hand and hold it tight,

I will never let go no not for life

Take my hand and hold it tight,

I will never let go no not for life

Take my hand and hold it tight,

I will never let go no not for life

Hey Slim, you weren't like anyone else

When I called for you, you never hesitate to help

So the day you left I can't express how I felt

That it hurts to talk to you

'cause it's like talking to myself.

But I know you hear me loud and clear

'Cause the only thing between us is the clouds and air

Man, I can't wait to see you again

Great granddaddy way up high, I know you with them

And your great uncle too, the one that past from cancer

I know you up there with them now, as happy as ever

And not to mention your sister you lost

when you were younger

Who'da thought, a few years, you'd be together

I'm done mourning your death, I'm celebratin' your life

Whenever darkness falls, eventually it gets bright

So yeah, I'ma make it through, I'll manage

And by the way, I don't love you to death

I love you past it.

Take my hand and hold me tight,

I will never let go no not for life

Take my hand and hold it tight,

I will never let go no not for life

Take my hand and hold it tight,

I will never let go no not for life

Take my hand and hold it tight,

I will never let go no not for life

Take my hand and hold it tight,

I will never let go no not for life

Take my hand and hold it tight,

I will never let go no not for life

Take my hand and hold it tight,

I will never let go no not for life

Take my hand and hold it tight,

I will never let go no not for lif
