Dear Rikhado, Love Riyadh

[Intro: Riky Rick & YoungstaCPT]
In a hundred years from now we'll be gone
(Salute)
All of this, you know, it will disappear, it will disintegrate
Maybe it will burn down, it will freeze over
You know?
This board will stop working
These mics will be useless
When that time comes
What do you want the people to remember about YoungstaCPT?

Bismillah rahman and rahim
I miss you already broer
We miss you

[Verse]
Yeah, dear Rikhado, your loss cut a youngin' deep
I used your intro for the beat 'cause it help with the grief
I got it from the king of the niche whom I always admired
I never really knew you felt that exhausted and tired
I cried for four days
Saw you in Joburg when I could just for those short stays
I wish we could have collaborated in more ways
Even did a performance for free at my born day, event
I know we all pawns on this board game
But your death got me crying out in the Lord's name
Heart sore on the floor, is there really more pain?
Jerry phoned me, I felt death when that call came
A lot of people knew you longer than me
Had tighter and better friendships
But I had to write my feelings down in order to express this
I should've begged for that verse, didn't wanna sound desperate
But I thank you for you time, your energy and your efforts
Always suspected there was a method to your madness
You called me late at night when you were overcome with sadness
I could hear it in your voice, so I just tried to cheer you up
You seemed larger than life but still as real as one of us
It's been depressing me for weeks, I'm questioning beliefs
Smiling on the surface, you were hurting underneath
I called Stilo on the phone, we haven't spoken in a while
I dialled 'cause there were things that we just had to reconcile
I called Ganja, started crying
Spoke to Stogie and Shakes
'Cause not many people in Cape Town could really relate
I told Rolo the same thing, I felt alone in that moment
Not sure who to reach, or to send my condolence
So I took what I was feeling, bottled it up and closed it
Did the five shows and slowly found the words I need and wrote this
Your mother climbed Everest in less than twenty days
It amazes me to see all the strength that she displayed
On the day you passed away Joburg had some heavy rains
But when you get to Heaven's gate say "Salute" to Jessie Raines
Looking at our photographs, many laughs were shared
Among these industry guys, none of them compared
Good lives end young, I wish that yours was spared
Your family and friends are always in my thoughts and prayers
You gave us a stage to showcase and perform on
Come to think of it, in some ways you put us all on
Salute to Boyz N Bucks, I hope we're gonna see more of
And rest in peace to DJ Dimplez, damn you're all gone!
Riky knew what to tell us, he knew what to give
Y?Gen and Cotton Club, we were building the bridge
I know you mean the world to your wife and your kids
And they mean the world to you, so it is what it is
You did what you did but I wish you didn't have to
And everything you've done for me
I'm grateful and I'm thankful
You did it big, a true one-of-one, never cancelled
We never die we only multiply, light the candle
I'll see you on stage at the Cotton Fest, I hope it's annual
I thank you for teaching us all about Family Values
Love, Riyadh

[Interlude]
Yeah, I had a dream about you on the
On the 23rd of March, broer
At least I got to see you
I-I cried with you, I hugged you, I...
I said good..., I said my goodbyes broer
But it's just for now
I know it's a temporary existence
I'm sorry broer
Lord have mercy on you, safely

[Outro: Riky Rick & YoungstaCPT]
