Obituary 2016 Lyrics - Papoose

Play this in the cemetery 

Am I ready to pay my respects? 

Born ready 

Hit your friends on social media, hurry 

Tell them Papoose dropping that obituaryMaya Angelou, words can't describe 

I know how a caged bird sing, still I rise 

Born April 4th, 1928St. 

Louis, Missouri, destined to be great 

Silenced by molestation as a child 

She used her silence to study books for a while 

Author, poet, dancer, actress, singer 

Fifty honorary degrees, director, leader 

The cause of her death, natural causes 

Her voice defended our culture, she was flawless 

Joan Rivers, comedian, actress 

Right under Johnny Carson, that's what she practiced 

Born June 8th, 1933Brooklyn, New York, went to college in CTThe Fashion Police, she was charismatic 

The cause of her death, surgery ended tragicTake these bars and play them in the cemetery 

Am I ready to pay my respects? 

Born ready 

Hit your friends on social media, hurry 

Tell them Papoose dropping that obituaryBig Bank Hank, a pioneer for real 

Member of the legendary group, Sugar Hill 

Born January 11th, 1956Bronx, New York, a place it never forgets 

First hip-hop act to have a crossover single 

Rapper's Delight, they made the pop charts mingle 

The cause of his death, kidney failure, cancer 

Why? 

Only God know the answer 

Rubin Carter, a boxer known to bang 

Better known in the ring as The Hurricane 

Born May 6th, 1937Clifton, New Jersey, soon to be a legend 

Had a promising career, his future got stripped 

Did 20 years for a crime he didn't commit 

The cause of his death, prostate cancer 

Why? 

Only God know the answerRobin William, comedian, actor 

The art of making other people laugh, he mastered 

Born July 21st, 1951Chicago, Illinois, the place he was from

He made his mother laugh so he can get attention
