[Intro]

For my brothers that I lost

I'ma put my lighter in the sky

I promise not to cry

I'ma ball for you, hey

(Buckroll)

I'ma ball for you

For my brothers that I lost

Dear God, let me be strong

I'ma ball for you

Oh, I'ma ball for you


[Verse 1: Marnz Malone]

I promise I'ma ball for you, bro

Risk it all for you, bro

All this money don't mean shit, I'd trade it all for you, bro

This is all for you, bro

I'll go to war for you, bro

Give this all up just to hear you talk to me, bro

Cried enough tears to fill up a cup

Like some stitches, bro, I'm still in the cut

I'm thinkin' 'bout you when I'm billin' it up

That's why I rap about you on every rhythm I touch

Bro, I'm fightin' back tears when I speak to your mum

They don't understand when I say it's deeper than songs

Quick to reach for my gun

You know me, bro, I don't play none of that

Got your sisters new Jordans, but they just want their brother back

Wish that you could holla back, got so much to tell you

Never knew it'd be the last time the last time I belled you

But, I guess that I'ma see you at them crossroads

Even if I win I'll feel you loss, bro, it's that real


[Interlude: Kris]

What up, Marnz? It's Kris

I just wanna say I really appreciate the consistent love and support you've given me for the last few years

Durin' a time that I felt extreme pain for my boy Nas

You might not have been the only one that coulda did that, but you were the one that did that, so for that

I'm-I'm grateful and I just wish you nothing but blessings on blessings


[Verse 2: Marnz Malone]

'Member when we robbed them pushbikes and neek jewels

I was like ten years old, they chased us all the way back to sides

For hours, bro, we had to hide

Why my bro have to die?

Kept it real to the end, but that's just bro so I can't act surprised

Lost his life in pursuit of this plastic

But no one else could do it like Nas did

Cut a hole in my heart, on the day that they stabbed him

If I had one wish, I would've already cashed in

It's been three years, still feels like it's yesterday

At any given moment, they could come and take my breath away

Forgive me for my sins, but sometimes I forget to pray

Put love into my heart and prepare me for what I'm yet to face

Put my lighter in the air, oi, this one's for you, bro

Remember you would come with me every single studio

Told me I'ma blow and I believe you, my friend

This was just a little letter till I see you again


[Outro]

For my brothers that I lost

I'ma put my lighter in the sky

I promise not to cry

I'ma ball for you

Oh, I'ma ball for you

For my brothers that I lost

Dear God, let me be strong

I'ma ball for you

Oh, I'ma ball for you

For my brothers that I lost

I'ma put my lighter in the sky

I promise not to cry

I'ma ball for you

I'ma ball for you

For my brothers that I lost

Dear God, let me be strong

I'ma ball for you

Oh, I'ma ball for you
