[Intro: T-Rock talking]
Sittin' up in the studio full of this weed and drank man
And I can't help but to start thinkin' about my n***a
Lord Infamous...
Lord Infamous this is for you partner!
You a champion in my eyes mane
Well done soldier, Salute
[Verse 1]
I gotta send this out to one of the truest
Before I got to work with you I was a fan of your music
In '97 we was in the trenches
Lyrically you'll forever be one of the Kings in Memphis
And worldwide
Man it's heart breaking, so what you expect me to say?
You went to heaven, I ain't know it would affect me this way
I'm hearin' you was havin' premonitions every day
Making your peace on earth before seeing ya heavenly place
Lord Infamous (Scarecrow) when I was in my animosity
You was the only n***a courageous enough to rock with me
You started "Black Rain", your very own monopoly
Allowin' me to overcome all demons who got to me
At that time I ain't even know that's what you was doin'
You told me: "keep makin' music", pursuin' what I'm doin'
When I look back on the situation after reviewin'
The legacy of Ricky Dunigan, thank God I knew him
Here's my testament to make the people understand
Y'all know The Myth and The Legacy but don't know The Man
I seen him battle with demons daily and no one knew it
Gallantly fightin', that boy was the truth beyond music
So put my faith in Christ, boy you know I can fix it
You went to hell and back already; I know you in heaven
So put your robe on and take your armor off
Welcome to paradise, you can put down your cross
[Hook]
My testament to make you understand
Y'all know "the Myth" and "the Legacy", this is for "the Man"
Well done, well done soldier!
Well done, well done soldier!
It's gon' be crazy in this world without you, understand
Your work is gone, now yo spirit is in God's hands
Well done, well done soldier!
Well done, well done soldier!
[Verse 2]
You could forget the physical confrontation in Alabama
You was the main n***a I had to fight, it was anna
When I look back on this shit I can laugh, we spilled enough blood
I can view it as tough love
Cause when you did your own shit of all the people doin' music
I was one of the first n***as you came back and recruit
We knew it was controversial but fuck it, we was above hungry
That's why we had to call it "Blood Money", and blood
Sweat and tears what we put in both of our carreers
This what we felt like we was born to do and did for years
Highly revered by the pushers, the acts and thugs
Tryin' to cope with life, we developed the habit for drugs
When even heartache and pressure can't put us under
A soldier fightin' a good fight it shows the heart of a conquerer
You made us all bow, so take your armor off
Welcome to paradise, you can put down your cross
[Hook]
My testament to make you understand
Y'all know "the Myth" and "the Legacy", this is for "the Man"
Well done, well done soldier!
Well done, well done soldier!
It's gon' be crazy in this world without you, understand
Your work is gone, now yo spirit is in God's hands
Well done, well done soldier!
Well done, well done soldier!
[Outro: T-Rock talking]
We all wanna hear him say "well done" when we get there
You hear me?
(well done, well done soldier)
Ricky Dunigan, Lord Infamous
(well done, well done soldier)
AKA Scarecrow, Keyser Soze
Salute your family
I love ya big brother, thank you, thank you
(well done, well done soldier)
(well done, well done soldier)
Life's too short for all the bullshit man
