Never Fades Away (feat. Atwell)

I couldn’t believe it when I got the word nah man…

I just saw him post the other day, I don’t understand

It took awhile to sink in

I just sat there with my eyes blinking

I call him my friend truth is that I barely know him

But it was like everytime we connect our friendship growing…

He always had this big smile so infectious

Swear you could feel his energy just reading his text messages

You could be a skeptic

Til you kicked it with him one time and see the lifes he affected

If he was here, he’d be talkin that shit

Bout tis next big idea… he had no time for gossip

Might sound silly though playin billy joel

Only the good die young, guess we never really know

I don’t know what to say to ya

Cut from a different cloth, I just hope to have the same tailor

For anyone you ever lost

There memory is not forgot

Everytime we talk

Never fades away

I’m sitting with my cousin reminiscin bout some legends

It’s not no sad though, we know that they up in heaven

Looking at the pictures over on the mantel piece

Getting deep, Ain’t nothing like family…

Can’t wait for the next reunion, we sippin likes it communion

Dippin over to cuz house, you know how we doin

Lately I be getting sentimental

Cause I know they getting older and I don’t want to ever see it end though

That’s why we have them BBQs in the summertime

Playin that old school you gotta love the vibe

Or maybe we out in the kitchen…

Find a seat When family speaks you gotta listen…

I just want my children to grow up with that tradition…

And learn about legends like Sonny Gibson

I heard when you say their names you can feel spirit

So in that case I say it loud so all of them hear it
