[Chorus: Meek Mill]

Come on y'all, Light up a candle

This ones for everybody that lost somebody

From the cribs to the grave to the end of the road

May god bless they soul but life goes on

I know it's probably hard and you might go through it

But life don't stop you got to keep on movin'

I'm blowin' wishes to the sky and for all of my niggas

I'm blowin' lines to the sky and I'm pourin' out liquor

Hey


[Verse 1: Meek Mill]

This for my niggas on the other side

That died young and didn't make it out to see 25

Fell victim to a homicide

Murder scene yellow tape

Family members momma cry

Same scenario, it's scary though

Happenin' in the hood every day but we don't fear it though

Rest in peace to these obituaries like a merry-go

Cause it's goin round and round

State to state, town to town

Every minute on the clock somebody heart stop

And every day that's in the year someone disappear

Thinkin' on the days they coulda hit me there

No religion prayin god was good enough to keep me here

My dad died when I was young

Seen the casket rollin down into the ground, I was done

Dark nights their, turned me into a moon instead of sun

To goon instead of young nigga with a school dream


[Chorus: Meek Mill]

Come on y'all, Light up a candle

This ones for everybody that lost somebody

From the cribs to the grave to the end of the road

May god bless they soul but life goes on

I know it's probably hard and you might go through it

But life don't stop you got to keep on movin'

I'm blowin' wishes to the sky and for all of my niggas

I'm blowin' lines to the sky and I'm pourin' out liquor

Hey


[Verse 2: Ms. Jade]

Me ask me was I gon' cry, motherfuckin right I will

I was cryin in the parkin lot, tear on the steerin' wheel

Shades on so no one would see my eyes puffy

2 months since I'm changin', I still ain't over it

No I ain't finished mournin', cryin like every morning

Think about her everyday, wishin I was in the moment

Wishin she was still here instead of these lame niggas

Why the fuck they still here, why he have to take my sister

To see you on, yeah I know I gotta do it

So I drink to take the pain away, stop me from goin' through it

But it don't and it can't and they never understand

They shot my best friend in the head, she ain't even have a chance

Ain't never get to get married, never get to give birth

Never get to see me make it and man this shit hurt

Uh but ride along, lay up song

Ain't plan on gettin on this song but I did it for her

R.I.P


[Chorus: Young Steff]

Come on y'all, Light up a candle

This ones for everybody that lost somebody

From the cribs to the grave to the end of the road

May god bless they soul but life goes on

I know it's probably hard and you might go through it

But life don't stop you got to keep on movin'

I'm blowin' wishes to the sky and for all of my niggas

I'm blowin' lines to the sky and I'm pourin' out liquor

Hey


[Chorus: Meek Mill & Young Steff]

Come on y'all, Light up a candle

This ones for everybody that lost somebody

From the cribs to the grave to the end of the road

May god bless they soul but life goes on

I know it's probably hard and you might go through it

But life don't stop you got to keep on movin'

I'm blowin' wishes to the sky and for all of my niggas

I'm blowin' lines to the sky and I'm pourin' out liquor

Hey
