Take My Hand
Lil Crazed Lyrics

It's been a few years now, time flies
It has been a few years since you left, but time passes quickly.

It was like yesterday, I was wiping my eyes
It feels like it was just yesterday when I was crying over your departure.

From my cries of you leavin' my life
I cried when you left my life.

But I realize when I cry, well you up in paradise
When I cry, I remember that you are in paradise.

Don't get me wrong, I still miss you to this day
I still miss you every day.

And I wish you could witness your little cousin on the stage
I wish you could see me performing on stage as you used to support me.

But some things change, it's the way things go
Things change, that's just how life is.

21st birthday – probably got your wings and halo
You probably got your wings and halo on your 21st birthday in heaven.

But you always been an angel in disguise
You have always been an angel in disguise.

Now stuntin' to an angel in the skies
You are now showing off to the angels in the sky.

Step back put your picture to the side
I'm stepping back and putting your picture aside.

Close my eyes with my head up high reminisce your life
I close my eyes and remember your life with pride.

Thinkin' 'bout the times we had way back we were reppers
I think about the good times we had when we used to rap together.

Flashbacks to the past ain't as bad as I expect it was
Thinking back to the past is not as painful as I thought it would be.

But you ain't gone, you just live in the sky
You may be gone, but you are living in the sky.

You had one life to live and you were too sick to die
You only had one life to live, and although you were ill, you never gave up on living.

Take my hand and hold it tight, I will never let go no not for life (x4)
I'm holding your hand tightly and I will never let go, not even for life.

Hey boy, how you livin' up in heaven cuz?
Hey boy, how are you living in heaven?

Even though you ain't here you know that we still sending love
Although you are not here, we still love and miss you.

Now I know you stay true up there
I know that you remained true up in heaven.

'Cause I look outside, the sky's blue up there
I know you are in heaven because the sky is blue up there.

Recall the night I have you a ride in my car
I remember the night I gave you a ride in my car.

You said, "Keep on rhymin' in no time you'll be a star"
You encouraged me to keep rapping and said I'd be a star in no time.

Well, you don't know this but I took that to the heart
I took your words to heart, even though you didn't know it.

And I use the word to motivate me to get this far
I used your words to motivate me to get to where I am today.

And now I'm doing big things like you said I would
I am doing big things like you said I would.

And I now I'm gonna make it one day 'cause you said I could
I believe that I will make it someday because you said I could.

'Cause if I want it bad enough it'll end up good
If I want something badly enough, it will eventually turn out well.

You supported me, not too many understood
You supported me when not too many others did.

I don't think you understand how much you meant to me
I don't think you understand the extent to which you meant to me.

But things happen for a reason, this was meant to be
Things happen for a reason, and your departure was meant to be.

Cause no there's nothing hard, you livin' heavenly
There is nothing difficult for you now, as you are living in heaven.

And since life goes on, I hope you rest in peace.
Even though life goes on, I hope you can rest in peace.

Hey Slim, you weren't like anyone else
You were unique, Slim, unlike anyone else.

When I called for you, you never hesitate to help
Whenever I called for help, you were always ready to assist without hesitation.

So the day you left I can't express how I felt
I can't put into words how I felt when you left.

That it hurts to talk to you 'cause it's like talking to myself.
Talking to you hurts, as it feels like talking to myself.

But I know you hear me loud and clear
I know you can hear me clearly.

'Cause the only thing between us is the clouds and air
The only thing separating us is the clouds and air in heaven.

Man, I can't wait to see you again
I can't wait to see you again, Slim.

Great granddaddy way up high, I know you with them
I know you are with our great granddaddy up high in heaven.

And your great uncle too, the one that past from cancer
You are with your great uncle who passed away from cancer.

I know you up there with them now, as happy as ever
I know you are now up there with them, as happy as can be.

And not to mention your sister you lost when you were younger
You are also with your sister who passed away when you were young.

Who'da thought, a few years, you'd be together
Who would have thought that after a few years, you would be together again.

I'm done mourning your death, I'm celebratin' your life
I am no longer mourning your death, but instead celebrating your life.

Whenever darkness falls, eventually it gets bright
Even though it may be dark now, eventually things will get brighter.

So yeah, I'ma make it through, I'll manage
I will make it through and manage, no matter what.

And by the way, I don't love you to death – I love you past it.
I don't just love you until death, Slim - I love you beyond it.
