[Vocal Sample] In that silver city I know you're dressed up smartly And when the bells ring, yours the life of the party Yeah (the life of the Party) [Spoken] The universe gives us certain people who touch our lives in deeper ways than we can ever imagine. And when they leave us... We're forever changed. Uh [Background Loop] "Life... Of the Party... Life" [Rapping] Hey grandma, I don't know if you'll hear my words If you do though, take a closer listen to what I said I hope grandpa welcomed you when you crossed over Same love in his eyes even though you've grown older, Keeps you warm on days when heaven's gone colder Holds you closer, your head on his broad shoulders. Hey granny, life's been a bit of a spin, holding on to my seat. Tryna keep my feet on the ground and my thinking deep. My cousins still rowdy and running these streets Sometimes I worry they don't see how fast life speeds One moment you're young, healthy and free Next you're old, responsibilities are coming quick. Oh granny, the reunion with your children must've been sweet All the children you brought to this world and now we left with three Mom getting married at her age is something you should've seen Auntie Promise is holding everything down like you taught her But loneliness still lingers in her heart, that part is torture. Dear granny, you know I have to mention your youngest Y'all were always close even though his decisions weren't the brightest. My uncle is fine but still struggling with the drink. Outbursts of anger, he's hurting more than we think. Kinda sucks coz he's the only oldest male figure left Which leaves everything to me, I gotta pick up the slack. Hey grandma, I got a job and I credited you for that Not much but it's better than where you left me at Spoke at your funeral, made promises that I hope I've kept. Trying to repay you for all the dinner tables you ever set. I know it's not enough to remove the pain you felt All the anguish and the tears that you wept. Oh granny, tell my cousins, uncles and even my dad We remember them, their names in our hearts and heads, As I wrap this up, I cast a line tryna catch a fish. Reflection of the sky in the water, I'll make a wish. I wish that you knew how much you meant to us. I wish that every move we make makes you proud. So that you'll sing about us in a voice that's too loud... Yeah... [Vocal Sample] In that silver city I know you're dressed up smartly And when the bells ring, yours the life of the party Yeah (the life of the Party) Life of the party [Background Loop] "Life... Of the Party... Life"
