Tribute to His Aunt

[Iman Shumpert:]

Auntie I'm sorry if I ever felt sorry for myself
You knew it was something wrong, you ain't complained about your health

But losing you, that hurt me, and at the time I was on the crutch
Some trouble hopped on the bird, was a wizard with the dutch

It was heavy on my mind, I started listenin' moms
Started missing the shot versus the Celtics had you sitting courtside and I love you for it

And now my life crazy traveling with things to do
And every time I see a flight attendant I'mma think of you

If you were still here we could have a bed, Cheers
With Rozay and OJ for New Years

Don't worry about Vince I got him
We go back to training wheels on the bike when we started ridin'

Can you believe your nephew is on the Knicks, Auntie?
And everywhere I go, got brand new Kicks on me?

You always said to be a man with at least dollar
And when I get rich to always wear my blue collar

So I go harder than the 9-5 Guy that got his degree
But he's no smarter than me

I'm clean cut cause Ahrii is my Barber
Now I get the full course, ain't no more ordering starters

I just want to come over for twizzlers and cream soda
My signature tight cause you made me write it over and over

Always hated you smokin' so now when Ed grab a square I tell him leave the room
Cause thats gonna make me think of you

And seeing you battle cancer was a nightmare
I don't know how my pops could spend nights there

I know you was trying to fight but they don't fight fair
I'm gonna get inside-a here
I swear with my right hand to a stack of bibles at Agatha with all the disciples right there

And everyone stand and witness my bold statement
You taught me self motivation with no procrastinatin' or over-exaggeratin'
And thats why I think I made it

So R.I.P Auntie
