Rest in beats from Heavy D to Eazy E

The Notorious B.I.G., we have lost so many

Still wonder in my Adidas why

Jam Master Jay had to die and Lisa Left Eye

Off top no rehearsal, R.I.B. salute

Gifted Unlimited Rhymes Universal, my man

Still in shock of the loss of Afeni & Pac

His spirit lives on, it won't ever stop

Scott LaRock heard a dope story about him from the Blastmasta

Out west R.I.B. Mac Dre & The Jacka

When we die it plants new seeds

For new Big Bank Hank's and new MC Breed's, remember?

And the Sean P's who speak that raw

J Dilla got all beat makеrs still in awe

I'm not a pimp but Pimp C forever UGK

Rеst in beats is they way that we say salute

Salute in tribute, light a candle, play a song

As their legacies continue on and on and on (Rest in beats)

Salute in tribute, light a candle, play a song

As their legacies continue on and on and on (Rest in beats)

Salute in tribute, light a candle, play a song

As their legacies continue on and on and on

Salute in tribute, light a candle, play a song

As their legacies continue on

We've lost brick and mortar record stores

And really dope diverse tours, R.I.B. Rest in beats

Original flavor and more

We've lost the art of everyone being in the same studio, rest in beats

The love for the art now dipped into dough

We lost real flows to mumbles and memes

We've seem to lost the ideas that we were kings and queens

Where are the groups? Too many going solo

We lost streets, teams, promo, YouTube and Vevo

Man I miss the time when you really had to rhyme

When lines weren't reduced to ghetto studio and crime

For all that we've lost still the essence is preserved

Through beats, sound, stages, dope energy and words (And words)

Salute in tribute, light a candle, play a song

As their legacies continue on and on and on (Rest in beats)

Salute in tribute, light a candle, play a song

As their legacies continue on and on and on

Salute in tribute, light a candle, play a song

As their legacies continue on and on and on and on

Salute in tribute, light a candle, play a song

As their legacies continue on

Never cared how doves cried till I heard you died

Now I wanna forget and God knows I tried

I wished you heaven, I hoped that you heard me

We were undisputed there was no controversy

Tired of the changes that life seems to bring

Never feared for silence, the dead still sing

And we can celebrate by dancing in the streets

Your music, your legacy, rest in beats

I'm sick of this scenario, man, I'm buggin' out

So let's go, let's get loud, let's shout

Nothing but love, yes, the good die young

Forever finds a way your songs will be sung

September now always got me thinking of you

Remembering hard times you helped me through

It wasn't your move but the way you moved me

Your music, your legacy, rest in beats

Rest in beats, rest in beats, rest in beats, rest in beats

Rest in beats, rest in beats, rest in beats, rest in beats

Rest in beats, rest in beats, rest in beats, rest in beats

Rest in beats, rest in beats, rest in beats, rest in beats
