Great Eyedeas Never Die
Blueprint

They say that dying young is only for the unlucky

But I envy all the ones that get to leave early

Life’s a trip, you better have your bags ready

You never wanna be the last one to leave the party

I thought that we would go first and you would tell our story

Maybe make a movie about the Rhymesayers rise to glory

The classic albums, the fanfare, the world tours

So it’s kind of weird I’m here now telling yours

I’ve been losing people my whole adult life

Never been one to exploit my pain in a song

I wish this was one I didn’t have to write

But until I do, I’ll never get a chance to mourn

So what you’re hearing now is way more than a song

It’s insurance that your memory remains strong

None stronger than two soldiers that done been to war

Cause even in death, you can’t break that kind of bond

Me and you used to battle fools everywhere

I thought we was only battling with that aggression

But over time, it now seems very clear

That battle was a metaphor for a more important lesson

If you love the art, you’ll fight over its progression

If you think it’s easy, then you probably don’t respect it

And if you turn and run whenever people question where your heart is at

Then you probably don’t deserve to rep it

Now that we made it to the end, what a ride

It was an honor being in the trenches by your side

There’s a place in my heart that I set aside for you my dude

‘Cause great Eyedeas never die

I hope to do half of what you did with your time

Touch the people that you touched here with your rhyme

There’s a place in my heart that I set aside for you my dude

‘Cause great Eyedeas never die


Never die

Never die

Never die


[Verse 2]

Always loved how you lived life with no regrets


That’s why your spirit touched so many that you never met

Only thing that ever gets me upset

Is strangers telling us specific ways that we should pay respect

It’s hard not to take that the wrong way

When I was taught that everybody mourns their own way

Flower’s on grey, some cry, some pray

But every Rhymesayers artist mourns on stage

They need to understand we still private people

Even if we live very public lives

So if we shed tears and they don’t see it

It doesn’t mean that we never cried

But either way I’ma carry the torch

I wish you was around to see just how you influenced me

I don’t care if they don’t get what I’m doing now

‘Cause now I’m doing it for me

When y’all grabbed them By the Throat, they didn’t get it

But you knew that they would come around eventually

I tried to think about how strong y’all was back then

So the nay-sayers words don’t get to me

For everything you gave throughout your career

At least I can do is take the time to put it in a song

I still can’t believe you ain’t here

But even though you’re gone, your ideas carry on

Now that we made it to the end, what a ride

It was an honor being in the trenches by your side

There’s a place in my heart that I set aside for you my dude

‘Cause great Eyedeas never die

I hope to do half of what you did with your time

Touch the people that you touched here with your rhyme

There’s a place in my heart that I set aside for you my dude

‘Cause great Eyedeas never die


Never die

Never die

Never die
