Good Man Is Gone
Joell Ortiz

[sample of Monk Higgins' A Good Man is Gone]

If he had left here in a natural way

I would feel better when I hear me, say

A good man is gone


[Joell Ortiz]

In a natural way, then what? Haha

What? Uhh, uhh


A half a G and E&J out in the big park

When it got dark we occasionally let the fifth bark

You was a hustler, I was a rhyme writer

You would serve customers, I would ignite cyphers

We rode around, try and get ass in a white Mazda

'til one day you just disappeared like my father (hey)

'Member you talkin 'bout that out-of-town dough

You was drunk, most of the time I ain't think you'd be out yo

You was drunk, most of the time I ain't think you'd be out yo

Sure did, took your wife and your kid out to P-A

Right around my B-day; guess you had it mapped out

Always knew the crack route

Had them kids in that small town shook rollin dice with your gat out

I visited time to time, I had to check my dude

You had the hoes on a string, they always blessed the crew

A shotgun shell turned my man flesh to stew

Damn Jizz, we miss you


[Chorus: Joell Ortiz]

A good man is gone {A good man is gone, gone, gonnnne}

Gone, a good man is gone {A good man is gone, gone, gonnnne}

A good man is gone {A good man is gone, gone, gonnnne}

A good man is gone {A good man is gonnnnne}

Gone, gone, gone {A good man is gone}


[Joell Ortiz]

Uhh, I met you at Sue's Rendezvous on a Tuesday

Flex spinnin, I see it like it was today

Block Royal emblem on your Polo tee

Handsome nigga, no homo B, you had that glow though see

I 'member you asked why I'm so low-key

With such a fire mixtape I need a promo V

You introduced me to the family, took it out to Jers'

Studio in the basement when I pronounce the words

Studio in the basement when I pronounce the words

I 'member you goin crazy, Told you he get his flame on

Right after that's when you introduced me to Akon


We 'posed to get a track that was nuts like acorns

Years since you gone I'm still gettin my wait on

Anyway, your boy gettin his fame on

Aftermath gang, got my Eminem and my Dre on

Still rep B-R, know I carry the name on

Damn Screw, we miss you


[Chorus w/ minor variations]


[Joell] Uhh!


[Interlude: Joell Ortiz]

This is for anyone who's ever took a loss

In bed, lights out, you just turn and you toss

It wasn't they turn, it wasn't they turn

Listen, we all got somethin to learn


[Joell Ortiz]

Two things is certain, you live then you die

And I'ma do a lot of livin 'fore I get to the sky

'Fore I sit with that guy and repent for my sins

On my knees hands together and I pray to get in

On my knees hands together and I pray to get in

But until then (what) man I'm playin to win

I came in this game po', I'ma say YAY at the end

You ain't super duper nice don't be displayin your pen

I'll expose it, none of your friends'll claim you again (who?)

Joell Ortiz is the name I defend

In the streets, on beats, on every stage I attend

I'm official! God forbid I'll die by that pistol

Say YAOWA, we miss you (word)


[Chorus]


[Interlude]


[Outro: Joell Ortiz]

A good man y'all, a good man is gone

I know you lost somebody

This is for you, and you, yeah

Keep 'em alive y'all, keep 'em alive y'all, keep 'em alive y'all...

Keep 'em alive y'all, keep 'em alive y'all, keep 'em alive y'all...

A good man is gone
