I woke up one morning
And the light had gone out
I was left in darkness
I was numb and cold
There’s no sunshine
If you are gone
What will I do without your sound advice?
Remember when we used to sit and talk about life
Remember listening to Eminem and trying to freestyle
Recording on my karaoke machine in the bathroom
At your mothers house
I was super loud and loved to sing
But you didn’t interrupt
You let me do my thing
We fought like siblings
But you had my back
You saved my life
And there ain’t no trophy for that
I will miss that goofy grin and the way you joked around
I Guess the ones who died before you
Will get to enjoy your laughter now
I guess God needed a rapper for choir
And he definitely took the best
Rest in heaven Manurk
You had my love
But you earned my respect
