Gawou...le combat continue frere

Today I feel somber yet complete
one would think that a funeral would make you sad
I wouldn't know because I didn't go
as you may know my homie Ishmael went home
as I feel sad that he had to vacate the spot and leave
I am somewhat relieved by his passing
I spoke to his brother Ali and Ish is not suffering at this time
He was really struggling so he’s with god for all time
there will never be another
For what he brought to the table, a friend like him I will never have a better
I can only hope to be
as compassionate, colorful, and philosophical as he was
I am glad he knew how I felt though
his whole family knew that I loved his crazy ass so
and I knew he loved my stupid ass unconditionally
it’s as if we were from the same lineage
twins from different moms yet the same age
you’ll never be forgotten my dude.
R.I.P. Gawou…
Le combat continue frère…on bouge sur le terrain like never before.
Prince B vas le faire…hope you’re proud man.
