[Verse 1]

Seems like yesterday me and my man was chilling

Kept a smile on his face no matter how he was feeling

Why is it that the good are the first to go

Word is bond sun my heart can't take no more

I be trying to maintain but the pain is a strain

Memories of dave forever stain my brain

So you'll never be forgotten shirts with your name on it

They gonna be rocking til they're mildewed and rotten

Coping with you passing on has been rough

It even brought tears to eyes of guys that played tough

So we're thinking about you from lunar to soular

Can't believe we came so close but yet so far

What did you have to die for it hurts more

When i think of all the things that you had in store

Cause that latter of success you were steadily climbing

When you began rhyming you were shining like a diamond

And you just started now you're dearly departed

I'm feeling heavy hearted and i can't disregard it

Whenever i rhyme i can feel you in me

Now you're in a better place to watch over us and Jimmy


[Hook]

Why do we live and die

Why do we flip then cry

When we all know that nothing is forever on this earth

We try to cure the hurt though it seems nothing really works

Why do we live and die

Why do we flip then cry

When we all know that nothing is forever on this earth

We try to cure the hurt though it seems nothing really works


[Verse 2]

Mother's day morning when it all occured

Remember when i first heard i thought that it was obscurd

And it couldn't be true anybody but you

Sun you had so many unfinished things to do

And to call him talented was an understatement

You could wait around for years and never find a replacement

They'll never be another who can take his place

I know his fam would give anything to see his face

It's so hard to say goodbye yet so easy to go

And before you know we will soon follow

To the otherside when this brother dies

Man it hurt in side when i heard his brother's cries stand strong

Why did death have to pick you and come and get you

Best believe as long as we breath we'll still miss you

Every single day someone else is deceased

I done lost my pops, my uncles, my niece

My grandfather, friends and i'm possibly next

It feels like we're born to die and it's getting me vexed

DJ if you're watching be my armor through the drama

Because it don't cease David Ross rest in peace!


[Hook x2]

Why do we live and die

Why do we flip then cry

When we all know that nothing is forever on this earth

We try to cure the hurt though it seems nothing really works

Why do we live and die

Why do we flip then cry

When we all know that nothing is forever on this earth

We try to cure the hurt though it seems nothing really works
