[Intro]
This song goes out
To everybody who didn't make it
To see 2010
We gon live for you
[Hook 2x]
Take these bars and play'em in the cemetery
Put the ashes on the speaker if they wasn't buried
Ask me if life is short I say very
This is the 2009 Obituary
[Verse 1]
Keep ya head up don't let me see it drop
In 2009 we lost the king of pop
Born August 29th, 1958
Lead singer of the Jackson 5 they was great
Then he went solo, started to rise
Thriller best sеllin' album of all time
Michael Jackson
His words carried us
His music brokе down racial barriers
Acquitted of the savagery humanitarian
Raised over 300 million in charity
The cause of his death
We heard all the lies
But let the truth be told it was a homicide
[Verse 2]
Farrah Fawcett
Her smile was graceful
She played Jill Munroe on Charlie's Angels
Born February 2nd in 47
Golden Globe and Emmy Award nominee blesses
Her son came to her funeral in handcuffs
The cause of her death
She died from cancer
[Hook]
Take these bars and play'em in the cemetery
Put the ashes on the speaker if they wasn't buried
Ask me if life is short I say very
This is the 2009 Obituary
[Verse 3]
Steve McNair
Was an NFL quarterback
Walter Payton Award, Super Bowl, all of that
Born January 14th, 73
In a place called Mount Olive, Mississippi
Was the leadin' all-time passer in Tennessee
For the Titans he was ignitin' the legacy
The cause of his death
Shot by his mistress
She killed him and killed herself senseless
[Verse 4]
Arturo Gatti
He was a professional boxer
When he fought his opponent needed a doctor
Born April 15th, 72
Had 31 knock outs lost a few
The cause of his death
They say his wife strangled him
Then they say it was suicide
It's kinda strange when they still investigatin'
The story gets worse
They found blood stains on the strap of her purse
[Hook]
Take these bars and play'em in the cemetery
Put the ashes on the speaker if they wasn't buried
Ask me if life is short I say very
This is the 2009 Obituary
[Verse 5]
John Rivas better known as Mr. Magic
A legend in hip-hop his death was tragic
Born March 15th in 56
The magic disco showcase was the shit
He paved the way so Mick shows could be
Then he launched Rap Attack in 83
With young DJ Marley Marl and Fly Ty
They founded the Juice crew they was on the rise
The cause of his death
It was a heart attack
Had to put his heart in his music to spin like that
Yeah
