Rest in Peace - Snak the Ripper

Lee Matasi

I still can’t believe that you’re gone

I hope you hear me up in heaven man I wrote you a song

It’s only been seven years, but it, seems so long

I remember stealing paint with you and learning to bomb

I still got your artwork hanging up on my walls

Still got your number In my phone hope you give me a call

And when I see your little sister, I see you In her face

You were a real good friend I know you’re in a better place

Yo I miss you big homie, you changed mad lives

You always had a big smile, never had bad vibes

You used to share your forty with me drink it in the summer heat

Never followed any rules skateboarded in the street

I’ve never seen you serious, always had a joke

Remember when you leant me money, rent was due and I was broke

You always had support for me right from the start

Then that motherfucker went and put a bullet in your heart.

RIP

I still can’t believe that you’re gone

I hope you hear me up in heaven cause I wrote you this song

I heard you wrote a poem for me

But I never got to read it

Well I’m a writer too I guess that’s history repeated

You knew me as a boy

But I’ve grown to be a man

I look exactly like your youngest son I even got his hands

I worried for my brother and my dad everyday

Cause when it comes to drinkin' liquor all of us are the same

Got an addictive personality, it runs in my veins

I pray for the power to overcome the things I could change

I know you did your best to fight it

You had a big heart

You used to let my mother rest and take the kids to the park

I wish I knew more about you

Bet you work real hard

Sometime I think about you while I’m doing work in the yard

I was only three years old so I don’t remember the day

You drank yourself to death and god took you away.

RIP

«I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: «If today were the

last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?

«And whenever the answer has been «No» for too many days in a row,

I know I need to change something

Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever

encountered to help me make the big choices in life.

Because almost everything

— all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure —

these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly

important.

Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to

avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose.

You are already naked.

There is no reason not to follow your heart."
