6 Obituary
Take these bars and play'em in the cemetery
Sit the ashes on the speaker if they wasn't buried
Ask me if life is short I say very
This is the 2006 Obituary

[Verse 1]
I was hurt when I heard about Gerald Levert
Put in a lot of work gave fans they moneys worth
The cause of his death
He died from a heart attack
Had to put his heart in his music to sing like that
Born July 13th, 1966
Out in Cleveland, Ohio a lot of folks wasn't rich
Formed a group with his brother Sean
And friend Gordon
They had 4 platinum albums on the charts scorin'
As a soloist his music had a great feelin'
R.I.P. to him he left behind 3 children

[Verse 2]
James Brown was born in The Great Depression era
May 3rd, 1933 gets no better
The cause of his death
He died from pneumonia
A godfather of body and soul a true soldier
Originator of funk rock n roll hall of fame
Of the most sampled artist of all times none greater
[Hook 2x]
Take these bars and play'em in the cemetery
Sit the ashes on the speaker if they wasn't buried

[Verse 3]
Saddam Hussein was born in Iraq
Birthplace to Tikrit District to be exact
The cause of his death
He was executed
They hung him at the gallows
He asked him to shoot him
Dictator for 2 decades ain't die silent
Machine overthrown his last word was Mohammad
Born April 28th, 1937
US invasion cause they said he had weapons
Of mass destruction but they captured nothing
They gagged and hung him
That's disgusting

[Verse 4]
Gerald R. Ford was the 38th president
In 74 he was a White House resident
The cause of his death
They say it's not given
93 years old was the oldest president livin'
The only one elected in the nationwide position
He came in office after the resignation of Nixon

R.I.P. to DJ Carl Blaze
Sound good in the clubs and the airwaves
The cause of his death
13 shots
Carlos Rivera New York miss you a lot

[Verse 6]
Coretta Scott King
The cause of her death
Respiratory failure claimed her last breath
Graduated with a BA in music
Won a scholarship to go to school
Out in Boston, Massachusetts
Following her goal is to sing
That's when she met a young man
Named Martin Luther King
Eventually got married
Had a couple children
Marched by his side in the civil rights movement
Targeted by racism and hatred
In 68 out in Tennessee Martin was assassinated
[Outro]
