“Futuristic Swag”
by Derek Felix AKA D Flex
From the time you rolled
You rocked it under such control
Making shit hot as can be
With you, there was no such thing as misery
Your swag raised it to a whole new level
Kool Aid smile like a dancing devil
Smoking blunts and blazing a trail
Rockstar personified cause you never failed
Life was your work poetry in motion
All the hollering was for love and devotion
You saw the future through a different glass
Filling it up with theatrics and kicking ass
Brought da fire 24/7
It was like God sent ya straight from heaven
A player who never bsed
The present was a gift always so blessed
Making chronic beats
Like Rice Krispy Treats
Bringing da futuristic swag
That made us envision ya on the cover of a mag
Futuristic from the time I knew you
Never twisted as if you flew
Floating across the sky for all to see
Standing oh so high like a G
Rocking the Marley hair
You were top dawg around here
Even if it only lasted over a year
Felt like an eternity know you’re still near
Watching proudly from your perch
Preaching ghetto gospel in your new church
Making futuristic believers above
Turned out you were a God of love
Born and raised in Atlanta
Wore your roots over here
Making your Mom so proud
Can still hear your voice above in that mushroom cloud
Making it clear that our journey is far from done
Time for us to raise it and have some fun
Just the way you wanted it always da party
Dancing, grinding, playing dem shawties
Elevating your game
Into another domain
Creating magic beats and futuristic swag
That came from the street wihout any lag
Futuristic a kid with the biggest heart
King of soul always played your part
Reigning supreme in your own league
Cool as the blue sky filled with intrigue
Dyayago Escobar you came to be known
Nayelly inspired ya into a different zone
Doing shit big with P Kohlz and Sheist
Shaolin’s version of Montana to Rice
Ya ‘ll combining for the Pop Off team
Hustling hard to achieve your dream
That’s why you were brought here
Bringing your futuristic swag without any fear
Yeah, you did your thing
Leaving it all out while spreading your wings
Literally repping NYC as the city that never sleeps
Cause you never did always playing for keeps
Even got your own sandwich named for ya
Da futuristic I eat to honor you
Right blend of spices that made you unique
Your kicking it smiling with a wink
You raised the roof to the fullest
Setting it on fire like a flamefest
Futuristic swag always around
Damn right, Lyndz you got down
Still see ya on my TV
At the VMAs on MTV
Teaching the posers what the game’s all about
A reality check by my nigga with clout
You’re the brightest star I always see up in the sky
Creating a spotlight that’s oh so fly
Making us wanna blaze to a new high
Even if I get down can’t even cry
I love you like a brother
Part of my Jew roots along with the others
Holding ya forever in my heart
Rising up you was a sweet tart
Serving Kool Aid to your extended fam
Jamming and mugging for the cam
Ya had your own style
Marley and Hendrix a true voodoo child
I know you’ll be watching this Thanksgiving
Am plenty thankful that we still living
Your futuristic swag can never lose its place
You were like Ali always the bright face
Tears of joy for all to be had
I’ll be thinking of ya you were rad
Futuristic swag shall live on
Shining through every dawn
