“Walk In Style, Uncle Pink” (Full Gospel Tribute – Performance Version)

Intro (spoken → organ swell) Mmm… Some people don’t just live… they leave something behind. And Uncle Pink… you left us laughter… style… and a whole lotta love. Verse 1 March fifteenth… yeah it changed everything One day after his sister’s birthday… we felt the sting A heart so big… a soul so bright A man who could make wrong feel right Everywhere he went you knew he was there Clean from his shoes to the cut of his hair Didn’t matter the place, didn’t matter the scene Uncle Pink stayed fresh… stayed clean (ad-lib) So clean… yeah… He walked with a pride you just couldn’t fake Turned every step into a statement he’d make And somehow with laughter and just one line He could lift your spirit every time Chorus (Lead + Choir) Lead: Rest easy… Uncle Pink… Choir: (Rest easy… rest easy now…) Lead: Your work down here is through… Choir: (Your work is done… we’re missing you…) All: Though our hearts feel heavy today Your love will never fade away Rest easy Uncle Pink Rest easy now… Verse 2 He had two lawnmowers, yeah that was his style Said one a Mercedes… the other BMW just to make us smile Riding through town like he owned every street Waving at everybody he happened to meet Didn’t need no car, didn’t need no keys Just him and them mowers riding with ease If somebody tried him, he’d stand his ground Drop a little wisdom then move around “If you feel mistreated… take up for yourself” That’s how he lived… that’s how he felt And when life got tough and pressure was high He’d look you dead in your face and say with pride— “Ice water melt… I don’t.” Sometimes he’d laugh and wave them away “Shoo-fly niggas… stay out my way…” And when he talked about folks and them He’d grin and say “thang and them…” Then hit you with that smooth little grin— “I’m pretty Ricky baby…” (choir echo) Pretty Ricky… baby… Verse 3 And he always spoke about his favorite niece Lisa stayed there for him… kept him in peace Taking him places, making sure he was straight Showing up every time… never late That kind of love don’t need to be loud You could see it clear… you could feel it proud And that bond right there don’t ever fade It lives in the love that was always displayed Spoken Tribute We remember the laughter… the style… the wisdom he gave… The way he could turn a regular day into something unforgettable. And we thank God for every moment we had with him. Bridge (Heaven Scene) Now he’s walking streets where the pain is gone With his mama and daddy… where he belongs And somewhere up there where the light shines bright His brother Roddy saw him that night I can almost hear it… clear as day… That laugh… that voice… that thing he’d say— “Welcome… you pink summa bitch…” (soft choir swell) And heaven smiled… ‘cause love came home that day. 🔥 Final Chorus (Key Change) Lead: Rest easy… Uncle Pink… Choir: (Rest easy… rest easy now…) Lead: Your journey here is done… Choir: (Your victory is won…) All: Though we cry… we still believe Your spirit lives inside of me Rest easy Uncle Pink Rest easy now… 🙌 Vamp Ending Choir: Rest easy… Rest easy… Rest easy now… Lead: Still dressed sharp in heaven… Choir: Rest easy now… Lead: Still walking proud… Choir: Rest easy… Rest easy… All: Rest easy Uncle Pink… Rest easy now… Outro (fade) (soft voice) “I’m pretty Ricky baby…” (choir fades) Pretty Ricky… baby…
