Generate meaning
1
(Verse 1)
2
I left you outside the gates of heaven - They wouldn't let me in
3
I waved goodbye as you stepped within
4
It's like hell on earth without you near
5
I named my daughter after you
6
So when she smiles it's sorta like you're still here
7
It's kinda crazy how time flies - 25 years since my grandmom died
8
But it feels like just yesterday when we was all laughing together
9
Those happy memories are so vivid, they'll last me forever
10
and yet you're still here somehow - I still feel your presence
11
I credit you for my inner strength - I feel it in my essense
12
In my soul, in my inner being, in my genetics
13
I wouldn't exist if you hadn't persisted through the trenches
14
I wouldn't have been a lyricist, I owe you every sentence
15
Every verse I've ever written - Your energy is kinetic
16
Though I've grown up, I'm still heartbroken, aching to cry
17
Hoping you're the one holding open those gates when I die
18
(Chorus)
19
My guardian angel flies
20
These tears I cry, asking for mercy
21
It hurts so deep inside
22
But I hear your cries
23
Asking for mercy
24
(Verse 2)
25
I left you outside the gates of heaven - They wouldn't let me in
26
I waved goodbye as you stepped within
27
It's like hell on earth without you near
28
I named my label after you
29
So when I rhyme it's sorta like you're still here
30
It's been a year - Still in shock about exactly what happened to you
31
Made a song for you called "My Uncle"
32
I was just rapping to you, just talking to you
33
I just saw you at my mother's house
34
I can't believe I just bought a coffin for you
35
We always feared that you would die from an overdose
36
God knows you loved to do drugs, it swallowed you whole
37
But in the end, drugs didn't kill you, cancer did
38
Why do good people die young? I don't know what the answer is
39
All I know is I worshipped you as a scrappy kid
40
Being around you made me feel cooler than rapping did
41
and that's pretty fuckin cool, trust me
42
I was embarrassed when you started smoking crack
43
Honestly, it crushed me - Swept in under the rug
44
Started smoking weed and popping acid but managed to not do the uglier drugs
45
We grew apart after my grandmother died
46
Homeless, in and outta jail, we stopped relating to each others lives
47
But years later, we connected once again
48
Not just as nephew and uncle, but as homies, we were friends
49
Though I've grown up, I'm still heartbroken, aching to cry
50
Hoping you're the one holding open those gates when I die
51
(Chorus x2)
52
My guardian angel flies
53
These tears I cry, asking for mercy
54
It hurts so deep inside
55
But I hear your cries
56
Asking for mercy
