Og pressure - Stay Down

For all my people that we lost, I carry the cross
So every minute that I floss I dedicate to yall
To all the soldiers man its hard to stay sober
Pour a shot into the soil hoping that could hold you over
Til the next toast
cnd through your memories we still close
Sometimes I still feel your presence and its hard to cope
My day 1s, some left behind sons
Know that we gon hold you down til the day that Kingdom Come
Some of us lost mothers
Some of us lost fathers
The moments we need guidance hit harder
Friends died on the corner
On the swivel, only gotta move smarter
Every year we come together just to honor your aura
It's crazy
One minute you here with us and then you're gone
The best way to share my feelings is to write a song
While I'm alive, we'll be showing you love
Take a quick moment of silence for the homies above.

Between the violence in the streets and the natural causes
We can't stop, somehow we try to move forward
Just know I'm here with you
Some people suffered in silence and now they're finally free
No matter what I'ma stay solid as I can be
Your family is mine
That's why I'm on the grind
So when they need me it ain't nothing to give em some time
I'm sticking to the code even when the weather's cold
Man I could never fold
We taking flowers to the grave
Taking photos in your name
Doing everything we can just to show you we remain
That'll never change
Just know I'm grateful for the time you was here
When I really think about it, I be shedding a tear
It's one life
One chance to get it right
cnd when it's said and done, we all standing in your light
Can't control when it's time to go
But we still gotta honor your soul
Fulfilling dreams on your behalf, standing 10 toes
Holding vigils with candles to let you know we care
cnd even those that ain't religious join us with a prayer
Paying respects
Your time on this earth was worth more than a check
We hold you down in the flesh
See the love is real
We gon show up for you every year
Singing out into the heavens, hoping you can hear
To everybody that we lost, they were all special
So I had to let it be known that we'll never forget you.
