Angel In The Sky
Bun B Feat. Razah Lyrics

There's an angel in the sky watchin? over me
Belief in someone watching over and protecting me

There's an angel in the sky watchin? over me
Belief in someone watching over and protecting me

They say it's always darkest before the dawn
Difficult times often come before positive change

And that you don't know what you got until it's gone
Value what you have before it's too late

I thought I knew what I had but I was wrong
Assuming I had more time

And that's why I gots to write this song
To honor the memory and cope with loss

Now, come on, now, come on
Encouragement to continue on

Say man, I thought it would?ve been a long time for us
Anticipated long-term friendship and success

And many more years on the grind for us
Expecting to work together for many more years

I thought the future held a lot for us both and it was brighter
Expecting the future to be bright and successful

We were super tight but finna be super tighter
Expecting to become best friends forever

I guess I just assumed we had more time for us
Assuming I had more time

To make more music and write more rhymes
Expecting to make more music together

But never in my life could I ever have seen
Unforeseeable event of losing a friend

That I would ever have to lose the other half of my team
Unexpected loss of a friend and musical partner

And take away the glitter the gold and the gleam
Without loved ones, material possessions are meaningless

Say man, I wonder to myself what does it all really mean?
Questioning the purpose and meaning of life

Nothing without the people you love, say man I miss my brother
People you love give purpose and meaning to life

But I know he's looking down from above and there's an angel
Belief in someone watching over and protecting me

It all began on Shreveport Ave sittin? off in the den
Reflecting on how the friendship started

Making beats and puttin? paper to pen
Creating music together

We was determined to win and you couldn't tell us different
Driven and confident in their abilities

Mama West was cool with it but Monroe kept trippin?
Family support and opposition to their pursuits

It seems just like yesterday sometime
Belief that time has passed quickly

Sittin? in your bedroom writing dumb rhymes
Reflecting on creating music together

Man, you makin? beats on the Ensoniq
Remembering how music was created together

And we was smokin? dirt weed ?cause it wasn't no chronic
Recollecting on shared experiences and small pleasures

I still remember when we started the crew
Reflecting on their beginnings

It was me, Mitchell Queen, Jamal Jackson and you
Recalling the original group members

Started out as 4BM but then we ended with two
Group membership changes over time

That's when we introduced the world to the you
The group's evolution and introduction to the world

To the G to the K, Underground Kings, DJ Byrd
Reflection on the group's name and members

Pimp see and Bun be we kept it G, say word
Recalling the group's music style and sound

Who would?a known back in ?92, in 2008 I'd have to
Reflecting on the unexpected journey and loss

Write this song sayin?, ?I miss you? but it's true
Honoring the memory and coping with loss

Just for the record let me go ahead and say
Stating something for the record

I love my brother Pimp see and man, I miss him everyday
Expressing love and missing a friend

Yeah, my heart still hurts and the pain?s still fresh
Continued pain from the loss

But I'ma put God first to keep that pressure off my chest
Reliance on faith to deal with grief

And remind me that I'm blessed to have had him as a friend
Grateful for memories and friendship

A ride or die homie that was with me till the end
Reflecting on the strength of their friendship

Real talk man, we was closer than kin
Reflecting on the closeness of their friendship

And I know that I'll never have a partner like that again
Realizing the uniqueness of the friendship

So Chad Butler I just want you to know
Addressing the friend directly

I keep your memory close, I'm never lettin? it go
Honoring the memory and cherishing the friendship

And they gon? always remember that you was here, mayne
Belief that the friend made an impact on the world

?Cause I'ma make 'em remember, that's why I'm here, mayne
Honoring the memory and legacy of the friend

Yeah, it's still hard and I still cry
Continued pain and grief from the loss

But you and God keep me strong, so I'ma still try
Belief in a higher power and strength to cope

Reppin? this UGK, now won't I?
Honoring the group and friend through music

?Cause through your music you live forever, so Trill don't die
Honoring the legacy and impact of the friend's music

I know you're watchin' over me, last night I saw you in my dream
Belief in the friend watching over and protecting me

At the crossroads, I'll see you there
Belief in an afterlife and being reunited in death

My friend, my brother till the end can't wait to see you again
Cherishing the friendship and anticipating a reunion

Save a place in heaven for me
Belief in an afterlife and being reunited in death
