Bro, R.I.P., Gone, never forgotten. Gone, but never forgotten
Robert Brian Brodie, lost my brother, lost my homie
Watchin' over us now, can't say that we lonely
Never questioned your loyalty, say that you fake or phony.
Take me back to the days at your crib, just playin' Sony
You swore you was the Madden King
That's not how I imagined things. But I can say my boy really had a dream
Just to make it out, you started workin' hard, playin' ball.
Joined the service and took the safest route
I look back like, damn, where'd the time go?
Manhunt, football games round Lenna Conrow
Lord knows what I'd do for just a convo.
Can't wait until I'm gone, I need it pronto
Wanna rewind time like life had tivo.
Long rides on the handlebars of your Deebo
Just to go to O.E. House
You been the same since playin' them video games on O.E. Couch
Even on the hottest days, we be cool.
We used to take trips, take a dip in B.G. pool
Run around, smack each other yellin' out '"open neck"
Still laugh to this day, cause Esco really broke the steps.
We done been through the rain, walked through puddles together
Got in scuffles together, got in trouble together.
So I mean it, bro, I really love you forever
I don't care if it's sunny, I'm still under the weather.
Your teammates miss you, you was a star in the field
The pain cut deep like a knife in the scar, thats for real
I admit, it's gone be torn for a while.
What makes it worse is that you couldn't meet your unborn child
It don't even matter, whether it's a boy or a girl.
Either way, I know we're bringin' joy to the world
But most importantly, it's gon' bring joy to your girl
Sorry your wife, she gotta fill that void in her life
Listen, bro, do you know what you mean to the branch?
We all gon' fly one day, you just got your wings in advance.
We did our dirt in the past, I wish it was a little cleaner
The good die young, I wish you could've been meaner
So you can be here just a little bit longer.
Even though you gone, your fam a little bit stronger
God gained an angel, but we lost a brother, father, son.
Uncle, nephew, and cousin all bottled in one
I ask myself, like, why we had to lose you at an early date
I love you, bro, until I meet you at the pearly gates
I love you, bro. Nah, it's so hard
I love you, bro
It's so hard. Rest in paradise
It's so hard. To say goodbye
It's so hard. You will never be forgotten
It's so hard. It's sad to see you go
It's so hard. Rap sessions in the cafeteria, why did it have to be ya
It's so hard. Got me worried about my brother's, Long Branch took another hit
It's so hard. Bro-bro I know you watchin'
It's so hard. Just know you're never forgotten
