“God’s Blessed One”
by Derek Felix AKA D Flex
There you still are
Standing way above
In your own dimension
Moon shining on our star
You smiling like the sun
On a hot summer day
All the while chuckling
Like God’s blessed one
P was right
The present was a gift
Who spread his wings
Making everything dynamite
Fourth of July
Every day fireworks
With funky ass beats
Yet here I am still wondering why
Everytime I see your face
My heart dissolves
Heartache and sadness creeps in
Though I know you owned the place
Lighting up the sky
For all to see
Showing off Atlanta swag
Blazed up so high
Everything’s still futuristic
Without you around
Reminded even more
What made ya super fantastic
I order your sandwich
At the bagel store
Enjoying every last bite
Yeah kid you sure were rich
A style all your own
Lighting it up on fire
Our Bob Marley
Sitting perched on his throne
Still dancing and rocking out
Like the shining star you are
Making us smile and laugh
While leaving no doubt
I’ll always be down
That you’re not here to chill
But when I look to the Heavens
Can see you standing so proud
There you are
Letting us know
It will be alright
Just keep going far
That I take with me
On this journey
Everyday has more purpose
Fantasy meet reality
I owe you
For how cool you were
Honest with strong points
Always so true
It’s that kinda spirit
That made you the man
Easy to respect
Reminding us never to quit
As I sit here
At this late hour
Still hard to believe
Even if I know you’re there
You’re in the air
Every day all around
Watching over us
With your message so clear
Sharing all the good
For your many friends
Who witnessed magic
That much was understood
It was your special way
Of getting our attention
Thank you for being real
And always brightening our day
