Artistic Intelligence - Final Flowdown (A rapper's funeral) Lyrics

Yo yo yo we gather here today
But this ain't a mourning it's a beat parade
The man's gone but the rhythm stays
So let's rap it out send him off with praise

Alright y'all welcome to the show
He ain't really dead just went with the flow
The beat stopped here but he took it upstairs
Now Heaven's got a rapper with legendary flares
"God called him home" - nah he hit him on FaceTime
Said "Yo bring your rhymes it's about that time"
Now angels up there they're noddin' their heads
While Saint Peter's spittin' bars by the pearly gates spread
He freestyled through life now he's spittin' in the sky
And we all know legends like him never die


Hands in the air wave 'em real high
This is the last show but he didn't say bye
No tears tonight just beats and laughs
The priest's got the mic and we're droppin' some raps
Amen to the rhythm forever it flows
Our brother's in peace but his bars still glow


Now y'all might expect a moment of silence
But where's the fun in that? Let's honor his defiance
He flipped the script turned the world on its head
Now Heaven's got a cypher goin' with the dead
Yeah he left us quick but yo don't be sad
He's up there now making Paradise rad
"Life's short" they say but he lived it long
Every bar he spit felt like a timeless song
So don't drop your heads keep 'em raised high
He's rockin' the clouds a legend in the sky


Hands in the air wave 'em real high
This is the last show but he didn't say bye
No tears tonight just beats and laughs
The priest's got the mic and we're droppin' some raps
Amen to the rhythm forever it flows
Our brother's in peace but his bars still glow


Now before we dip let's raise a toast
To the rapper who always did the most
A moment of respect - psych let's drop that bass
He's gone up to Heaven but he's left us a trace
His rhymes still echo his flow won't fade
Even Saint Michael's gettin' fresh cuts on the fade
So play it loud let the speakers blow
The final track the ultimate flow


So here we stand sayin' our last goodbye
But his beats stay bangin' even in the sky
One day we'll join we'll all reunite
With a mic in our hands keep the afterlife hype
Yo that's it for today my friend
The rapper may rest but the flow don't end!

Amen!

Hands in the air wave 'em real high
This is the last show but he didn't say bye
No tears tonight just beats and laughs
The priest's got the mic and we're droppin' some raps
Amen to the rhythm forever it flows
Our brother's in peace but his bars still glow

AMEN bro!
