Thank You Dmx

This hurts, although I'm sad you're gone, I want to focus on the time you were here
I always felt inspired when I listened to you talk and had your rhymes in my ears
Even when walking alone, your music made me feel like you were with me in every step
You always gave your all and never less

I can't express the love I have for your album flesh of my flesh, blood of my blood
We had different journeys, but your poetical words were understood
You were always open, honest, and vulnerable in your songs
Even at your weakest, you inspired many people to be strong

You barked in songs and we'd accept it as the most normal thing ever
We've lost a legend, heaven's gained an angel, now you and Aaliyah can sing together 
Watching the video of you singing Rudolph the rednose reindeer is a Christmas tradition of mine
Your music will always live on, you're a Hip-Hop king forever 

You always spoke from your heart, never a lyric wasted 
Where's the hood at, Ayo Kato and Lord Give me a sign will always be my favourites
The honesty in your music made me feel like I know you even though we never met
Rest in peace legend, sincerely thank you DMX

Thank you, yeah this one hurts a lot. X is one of the best ever. He was so unique and different from the rest. This is a huge loss for Hip-Hop
