I'm on my Deep Water Slang, Blue Slide Park hype Rest In Peace to two legends gone way before their time Big love to Steve, we lost a warrior in Zumbi An Oakland pioneer always riding for the community I remember being eighteen in Boulder, Colorado With Amp Live, DLabrie, YD, and Shamako In the basement night club, I ain't really know what to think Opening for Zion I, not even old enough to drink Zumbi showed mad love and acknowledged my craft Encouraged me to keep pushing, said I was on the right path Gave props to my chops on the keys and rhymes I was humbled, I'd been a fan of his tracks for a long time First saw him rock at SF State for Grammys In The School Just a young'n watching the hyphy and the cool Blend together, a true reflection of the Bay Steve Zumbi Gaines, the world misses you every day Thank you for reminding us not to lose our heads Look at the situation from a bird's eye view Striving to wake up with unity every day Feeling like heroes the way Grouch and Zion I do A gentle reminder to celebrate the folks we admire While they're in the midst of achieving their greatness Nobody's guaranteed an extra day And we have no idea what kinda future awaits us To the heroes that influence you Give them their flowers before they're due To the heroes that influence you Give them their flowers before they're due To the heroes that influence you Give them their flowers before they're due To the heroes that influence you Give them their flowers before they're due I'm on my Deep Water Slang, Blue Slide Park hype Rest In Peace to two legends gone way before their time Big love to Malcolm, a tortured gentle soul Mac Miller, I wish he'd been able to gain control Or got the help he needed to go battle that disease And kick the substances that subsequently took him from continuing To live his dreams, the end was tragic Yet his story and his art were fascinatingly emphatic In a short amount of years riddled with drugs and depression He recorded five albums and made quite an impression An independently distributed debut Winding up at number one on Billboard, how's that for a breakthrough Addiction to lean sippin didn't stand in his way Of collaborations in the game with the heaviest names Living life to the fullest and thankful for everything Look at how he started smiling on that Tiny Desk stage It feels like the man got out as much he could outta life Despite the sidetracks, seemed like a wise cat Misunderstood through all the wise cracks, but besides that He brought a joy that anyone would love to exude A sense of humor that anyone would love to include Whether he was taken prematurely or stolen His life a symbol that we should embrace every moment To the heroes that influence you Give them their flowers before they're due To the heroes that influence you Give them their flowers before they're due To the heroes that influence you Give them their flowers before they're due To the heroes that influence you Give them their flowers before they're due I'm on my Deepwater, Blue Slide, Slap Addict hype Rest In Peace to a legend gone way before their time Traxamillion, we had no idea what you were battling But we knew your sounds always kept our trunks rattling You had my ear hooked with that "Grown Man" Never thought I'd interact with you as a grown man Cuz your legendary beats made you larger than life From "Sideshow" to "On Citas" you had us getting hype To your soundtrack, a catalyst for the movement House party anthems, the whole bay consumed it I never hit stop, I listened all the way through Analyzing each track, I wanted to produce like you Fast forward several years running into you at sessions And vibing with you at Fifty Five South, what a blessing To be graced with your presence, a hero to many In your name Traxamillion the slaps remain heavy To the heroes that influence you Give them their flowers before they're due To the heroes that influence you Give them their flowers before they're due To the heroes that influence you Give them their flowers before they're due To the heroes that influence you Give them their flowers before they're due Give them their flowers before they're due Give them their flowers before they're due Give them their flowers before they're due Give them their flowers before they're due
