angel in the sky

there's an angel in the sky watchin over me

watchin over me yeahhhh

ooh-ooh-oooooh

there's an angel in the sky watchin over me

watchin over me yeahhhh

ooh-ooh-oooooh

they say it's always darkest before the dawn

and that you don't know what you got until it's gone

i thought i knew what i had but i was wrong

and that's why i gots to write this song

now c'mon

say man i thought it would of been a long time for us

and many more years on the grind for us

i thought the future held a lot for us both and it was brighter

we were super tight but finna be super tighter

i guess i just assumed we had more time

for us to make more music and write more rhymes

but never in my life could i ever have seen

that i would ever have to lose the other half of my team

you take away the glitter

the gold and the gleam

say man i wonder to myself what does it all really mean

nothin without the people you love

say man i miss my brother

but i know he's lookin down from above

and there's an angel

it all began on shreveport ave. sittin off in the den

makin beats and puttin paper to pen

we was determined to win

and you couldn't tell us different

mama west was cool with it but monroe kept trippin

it seems just like yesterday sometimes

sittin in ya bedroom writin dumb rhymes

you makin beats on the insonic

and we was smokin dirt weed cause it wasn't no chronic

i still remember when we started the crew

it was me

mitchell

queen

jamal

jackson and you

started out as 4bm but then we ended with two

that's when we introduced the world to the u

to the g to the k

underground kings

dj byrd

pimp c and bun b

we kept it g

say word

who woulda known back in '92

in 2008 i'd have to write a song sayin i miss you but it's true

just for the record let me go ahead and say

i love my brother pimp c and man i miss him every day

yeah my heart still hurts and the pain's still fresh

but i'ma put god first

to keep that pressure off my chest

and remind me that i'm blessed to have had him

as a friend

a ride or die homie that was with me 'til the end

real talk

man we was closer than kin

and i know

that i'll never have a partner like that again

so chad butler i just want you to know

i keep ya memory close

i'm never lettin it go

and they gon' always remember that you was here mayne

cause i'ma make 'em remember

that's why i'm here mayne

yeah it's still hard and i still cry

but you and god keep me strong so i'ma still try

reppin this ugk now won't i

cause through your music you live forever so trill don't die

i know your watchin over me

last night i saw you in my dream

at the crossroads i'll see you there

at the crossroads

i'll see you there

my friend

my brother 'til the end

can't wait to see you again

save a place in heaven for me

save a place in heaven for me
