Tribute to Big Proof and J Dilla by Detroit rappers MarvWon and Fatt Father.
The song samples The Jackson 5’s “One More Chance”
[Michael Jackson]
Everybody loves the star
When he's on the top
But no one ever comes around
When he starts to drop (Big Proof)
You were someone special (My guy)
You stuck trough thick and thin
I'm crying outside heavens door
Won't you let me back in?
[Verse 1: Fatt Father]
P to the R, O to the O, F
Dont wanna see you go, but to know you I was so blessed
Kept the fresh cango and some moet
You ain't really shoot that dude, Detroit know that
I cry for days, wishing that I could go back
I smoked a whole back of (?) to one of yo tracks
Looking at ya face trough the eyes of a Kodak
Hoping you in a place where somewhere to go rap
This is ya brothers (?) this is no act
5 children lost their father, this is so wack
Now they wanna use your honor for a doormat
Stomp all over your name, I can't ignore that
So what, you stole a car a 100 years ago
And had a couple a fights outside the local liquor store
You also paid (?) forget the doe
And thats what I love you for, all I really need is
[Hook: Michael Jackson & Fatt Father]
(One More Chance)
To let you know how I feel, and when I say your my brother its real, I need
(One More Chance)
To let you know your the truth, inside and outside of the booth, Give me
(One More Chance)
To play a song I wrote, and you tell me if its wack or dope
I'm so hurt I don't know what to do, from the bottom of my heart I miss you Proof
[Michael Jackson]
Everybody loves the star
When he's on the top
But no one ever comes around
When he starts to drop (My nigga Dilla)
You were someone special (Dilla Dog, Jay Dee, John Doe)
You stuck trough thick and thin
I'm crying outside heavens door
Won't you let me back in? (It's Ya Boy, yeah)
[Verse 2: Marwvon]
D to the I, L to The L, A
The illest nigga making a beat, fuck what they tell me
But you was more then just making a beat
You was the voice of the hood man, the face of the streets
7 Mile and corners, see niggas don't know that
(?)
And the way you left us fam was so wack
Im glad you ain't in pain no more, I want you to know that
I'm selfish, I wanna hear you killing a song
Won't forget when Shoes called and said my nigga is gone
I'm like "No not Dilla, your wrong", mean I knew you were sick
But I though LA was getting you strong
I remember those dinners back at baby sisters
I would be lying if I said I didn't miss ya
But I know you and P (?) together
Up in heaven acting some fools, FC Forever
[Hook: Michael Jackson & Marv Won]
(One More Chance)
To let you know how I feel, and when I say your my brother its real, I need
(One More Chance)
To let you know you were sweet, (?) on the mic or on the beat, I need
(One More Chance)
To play a song I wrote, and you tell me if its wack or dope
I'm so hurt I don't know what to do my nigga, from the bottom of my heart I miss you Dilla
[Michael Jackson]
Everybody loves the star
When he's on the top
But no one ever comes around
When he starts to drop
You were someone special
You stuck trough thick and thin
I'm crying outside heavens door
Won't you let me back in?
