[Part I]


[Intro: GRIP]

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

And the eulogy read (Oh, oh, oh)

And the eulogy read (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh), hey

(Oh, oh, oh, oh) And the eulogy read


[Verse: GRIP]

And the eulogy read

"In front of us lies a man that was truly ahead

Coulda died in a shootin', but ended up a shoo-in instead

And when they said hip-hop music was dead, your ears, he fed

Shed sweat, tears, and bled, peers, they fled and veered for bread

He kept steerin' straight and made sure all of the children ate

Food for thought, fools who thought dude would halt and threw salt

It only made 'em more seasoned, nigga, here's a plate

"Porch" started payin' bills and it was never level playin' fields

But had major label deals on the table still

Streaming was low across the board, they wanted to touch the numbers

Like they do up-and-comers that bump for a couple summers

Wasn't fuckin' wit' it, never been with the boostin'

Stayed independent, signed with HR for distribution

J Erving kept shit a hunnid, he showed the most love

Threw him his first bag, he started recordin' "Snub'"

Ran through that shit with ease with bills and two kids to feed

He knew he had to make a classic, and he did indeed

Labels callin' again, same song and dance

But crackers literally want you to do a song and dance

One label was cool, talks about a strong advance

Plus a cool mill', and then they pulled the deal

But he wasn't shattered, broken, he just had to focus

Ashtray with scattered roaches, bounced back with a magnum opus

So before the casket closes, let him have his roses

I'm pretty sure he'd be glad you noticed, uh

The sword was his pen, he waged war wit' his men

Anybody part of the Stray fam is more than a friend

This where all the choruses end, they pour 40s for him

Tell you how we got to this point, let the story begin"

Begin, begin

Uh—


[Part II]


[Outro: Wiley from Atlanta]

Every day (Yeah), yeah-mm

Every day for you, mm

Every day

Mm-mm-mm-mm (Every day)

Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm

I'll be

Dyin' every day, mm-mm (Ooh-hoo)

For you

Every damn day

Every damn day for you

Every day, oh no, mm (Ah)

Mm, I know, hey

Every day for you (Every day)

Every day (Every day)

Really, I'd die for you, mm-mm
