Rest In Peace Prodigy

Another day and sadly another Hip-Hop legend passes One half of Mobb deep and he's responsible for a few classics Juvenile hell came out in 93 when I was 1 years old The infamous which they released in 95 is when they started to reach the masses Drink away the pain makes me think of my dad Prodigy is one of the reasons I'm fearless when I write on my pad He was 19 years old when he wrote his verse for shook ones At that age did he know how legendary that verse would become? He instantly became an idol with his lyrics From shook ones to survival of the fittest When he rapped over a Havoc beat It was unmatched and usually a masterpiece He was always one of the best on the microphone He had beef with Nas, Tupac and Jay-Z, and held his own It was heaven for ears when they released hell on earth Always amazed by the stories and messages he would put into a verse They made Murda Muzik so they became America's nightmares I wish Prodigy was still here He spoke out about the evil in the music industry Your music will live on and you'll always be in our memory How could anyone compete with yours and Havocs chemistry? I know we all go one day but why did it have to be your time? Its crazy how someone can inspire you so much through rhymes I didn't even know you personally but I have a tear in my eye Now you're in heaven with Big Pun and Big L about to write H.N.I.C is one of my favourite albums of all time Thank you for sharing your words and showing us your genius mind Mobb Deep are one of the greatest Hip-Hop groups of all time, you will always have our love You taught us there's no such thing as halfway crooks I've never met you, but this has got to me We will always miss you, Rest in peace Prodigy
