Lord these were no fallen angels--they were holding it down for You.
Lord we sending You up a lil prayer /I know You can hear us You never don't care/ You keepin my family up in heaven right there/ all my homies that passed fly up high in the air / calling like angels that took every dare / and held it down for You even though life's not always fair/ I miss every one gone I see ghosts everywhere/ I can even remember the smell of their clean hair / and how when we cookin some grub we got somthin to share/ barbecue chicken wings and steak grilled up rare/ I remember these guys like they still are right there/ 'bout to strip off their shirt, get tattooed, then go bare/ then jump in the truck and find someone to scare/ they ran circles around me til I felt like a square/ remember how foos would imitate Sonny & Cher/ while downloadin mp3s from Napster and Bearshare/ I look at their pictures, sometimes I just stare/ and it feels like my heart pumps so hard it gonna tear / it's hurting so bad I feel pain everywhere/ and except in you, Lord, I have no hope anywhere/ I try to get going, but I just don't know where/ even tho I know somewhere can't be worse than nowhere/ I don't trust no reverand and I won't pay a sooth-sayer/ so I go out to feel sunshine, warming in daylight's glare / cuz I ain't one to hibernate long like a lonely ol' bear / I got to hear music and put songs in the air/ I got to run free like a stallion to a mare/ I got to live my life and brighten up this dark lair/ before I sleep and get chubby with a shape like a pear/Imma exercise a bit and run up the stair/ fittin to work for my homiez like Iam running for Mayor/ til all my muscles start achin, then I'll swallow a Bayer/ I don't need a razor and I'd never use Nair/ these hairy legs are the bombest cuz I got a strong pair / like the sideshow strongman str8 from the World's Fair/ tho Iam an ol' softie inside just like a CareBear/ or like Rix's Valentine's plan for his girl's "Build-A-Bear"/ I feel like Eminem saying "Where's My Snare" / as I play on my drumkit and beat rhythms from Slayer/while Im living my life clean now, cuz Iam so debonair /prayin my music gets broadcast on radio air/ Yes, all my homiez and You, Lord, know Imma tru down young playa.
Damn, Lord, I hope You have a sense of humor...Lord, please forgive me, I just ran out of rhymes. Do Your Holy-est thang and please keep ALL our soldiers safe.

I can't help thinking whoever wrote it must have known my dad the hard way back in the day. He was a Native American/Scandanavian Viking paratrooping vet of WW2 and the Korean War and came home to fight hard for all kinds of workers' rights. Nothing but death stops a crazy tough as nails soldier, and I still feel his presence watchin my back always.
