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
