O Block Halo

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The block still talkin' Your name in the wind White candles burn slow By the corner store grin Cold August faces Head down, hands tight Little ones ask why And the old heads sigh [Pre-Chorus] We keep that fire lit We keep that pride alive Your voice in the ropes When the pain gets loud They can't take that piece That you left behind Every scar on the block Still says your line [Chorus] Rip king von, we salute you Rip king von, all this love is for you Rip king von, the ones who knew you Say your name, say it true (say it true) [Verse 2] From the old apartment To the fame and the smoke You made pain sound sharp You made truth hit folks Now the young ones play that Like a prayer at night Trying to hold their people Trying to stay upright [Pre-Chorus] We keep that fire lit We keep that pride alive Your voice in the ropes When the pain gets loud They can't take that piece That you left behind Every scar on the block Still says your line [Chorus] Rip king von, we salute you Rip king von, all this love is for you Rip king von, the ones who knew you Say your name, say it true (say it true) [Bridge] No more running No more fighting shadows Just the memory And the morning after If love can carry What the rain can't wash Then you still live on In the ones you taught [Final Chorus] Rip king von, we salute you Rip king von, all this love is for you Rip king von, the ones who knew you Say your name, say it true (say it true) Rip king von, we hold you Rip king von, in the heart of the city too Rip king von, they won't forget you Say your name, say it true (say it true)
