Hes a great man
Yeah
He wasen't a bad man
He was a good grandfather
A good dad
Mentor
Friend
Shit
He turned all our lives around
Atlest he tried to
Some people u just can't help
But he was a great man
He wasn't cold
Shit he wasn't old
He was young
He always told me to be good
Don't do anything stupid
Shit
I did anyway
But he tough me to put others before me
Threw the good times
The bad times
He tough me to put others first
It was pitch black
Shit
He showed me the light
He never hurt nobody
Yeah
He was a nice man
[Chorus]
He was a good guy
Bad things happen to good people
But then every thing happens for a reason
Its just some thing we have no controll of
Thats just fate
[verse 2]
He was always glad
Never mad
He tried to mold me into a man
It did'int workout
Look at me
I'm a rapper
I;m a fighter
That's just who i am
But
Yeah
He was a good guy
Shit he was a great guy
Bitch he wasen't no bad guy
He was like a dad to me
Shit
He did more for me than my dad ever did
[Chorus]
He was a good guy
Bad things happen to good people
But then every thing happens for a reason
Its just some thing we have no controll of
Thats just fate
[verse 3]
He was a great man
He did'int hate
Yeah
He dated
Yet his fate
He never found a mate
He was a great guy
Bad things happen to good guys
Maybe it was just fate
Shit
He lyed in a state of pain
He had a good job
The fam
They were like leaches
The all took advantage of him
Till he lyed in a constant state of pain
Shit
He had no estate
We all can relate
We could restate
He spent his whole life tuning
Tuning from fate
[Chorus]
He was a good guy
Bad things happen to good people
But then every thing happens for a reason
Its just some thing we have no controll of
Thats just fate
[verse 4]
His whiole life
He got token advantage of
His whole fam used him
Shit i'm the only one that never asked for nothing
He was a good guy
Bad things happen to good people
But then every thing happens for a reason
Its just some thing we have no controll of
Thats just fate
It was his date with fate
None of ous could stop it
We couldn't evan rel;ate
It was his date
With fate
Shit
Cuz of the fam
He had no estate

Now he's gone
He's up there
Awaiting
At the gate
He's waiting at the gate
For the date
[Chorus]
He was a good guy
Bad things happen to good people
But then every thing happens for a reason
Its just some thing we have no controll of
Thats just fate
Mow he's at the gate

He's waiting for the date
The date that fate get's me
But i'm lucky
He gave me some traits to help
He gave me his strength
His height
Shit

Await for me at the pearlly gate
Awate for my date
