[Intro: Nas (Sample)]
To my man, to my man, God bless your life
To my man, to my man, God bless your life
[Verse 1: K-Hill]
To my man Sick L, God bless your life
Send me a vision in my dream and let me know what heaven's like
Let me know what's your life like
And let me know: "Why did God take you home that night?"
(Lord forgive me)
I'm gonna blow for the both of us
Carry them dreams for the livest n***a on my team
I know we just got close
I've probably known you for about three years
But that still can't stop my tears
Far as I'm concerned, we was close enough, me and Panama
Sorry that it ended on some social stuff
I can't forgive myself the night for not picking up the phone Looking at the caller ID like I wasn't home
It wasn't personal, I had a format, a refill
Spent some time with my fam and forget my past
The biggest lesson that you ever taught me was to cherish my people while they livin' 'cause tomorrow ain't promised
[Hook: (Keisha Shontelle), Nas (Sample) & K-Hill]
(Your way lives on)
To my man, to my man, God bless your life
To my man, to my man, God bless your life
(You stay, we stay)
(Your way lives on)
To my man, to my man, God bless your life
To my man, to my man, God bless your life
(You stay, we stay)
I know you're gone now, but Imma still make your mom proud
I'll say her son had a greater side than just they realized
[Verse 2: K-Hill & (Keisha Shontelle)]
I can see you in the stars like: "Look at me now!
I'm with the Lord, which is greater than a platinum award"
You and I was on the same accord to make it in this game
But young n***as just can't move forth
That's why I had to write a song like: "We can't grow"
To show these local rap cats why we can't blow
Sometimes I wanna holler at your nephews and your older brother
'Cause when I see 'em it's like you still living
At times, I keep apologizing, hope you forgive
You was a brother from another mother, player for real
(You stay, we may)
If I never try to make it, then I lied to you
I can't wait to go to heaven just to vibe with you
December 28 I cry but look at the arts
But now I celebrate 'cause that's the day you met up with God
Sick L, you know we would have been world-renowned
But when I make it to the top, Imma hold your fam down
[Hook: (Keisha Shontelle), Nas (Sample) & K-Hill]
(Your way lives on)
To my man, to my man, God bless your life
To my man, to my man, God bless your life
(You stay, we stay)
(Your way lives on)
To my man, to my man, God bless your life
To my man, to my man, God bless your life
(You stay, we stay)
I know you're gone now, but Imma still make your mom proud
I'll say her son had a greater side than just they realized
(Your way lives on)
To my man, to my man, God bless your life
To my man, to my man, God bless your life
(You stay, we stay)
(Your way lives on)
To my man, to my man, God bless your life
To my man, to my man, God bless your life
(You stay, we stay)
I know you're gone now, but Imma still make your mom proud
I'll say her son had a greater side than just they realized
[Verse 3: K-Hill]
This ain't a sad dedication, more like a celebration
And a clean slate for every single cat that hated
If you got a place in heaven, you already made it
I just hate the way your life was taken
So random, and I still feel so damn dumb
Lookin' at your casket, waitin' for you to wake up
I still think about the good times before the break-up
How you came to the hospital when I got caught up
If you'd seen the way I cry, you'd probably call me something like, uh, a kleenex thug
N***a, you know how you were
Your mainline was: "Hill, you and [?] gonna blow
Send your beats off to Def Jam and get that dough
And when you get money, cop me some dro
Let me flip it on the block, so we can get more dough"
My young n***a always had a hustle with him
God, forgive him, you know my n***a had good intentions
[Hook: (Keisha Shontelle), Nas (Sample) & K-Hill]

To my man, to my man, God bless your life
From [?] with style
To my man, to my man, God bless your life
And some of the city [?]
(You stay, we stay)
I know you're gone now, but Imma still make your mom proud
I'll say her son had a greater side than just they realized
(Your way lives on)
To my man, to my man, God bless your life

(Your way lives on)
To my man, to my man, God bless your life
To my man, to my man, God bless your life
(You stay, we stay)
I know you're gone now, but Imma still make your mom proud
I'll say her son had a greater side than just they realized
[Verse 4: Keisha Shontelle]
Lord, I know you will guide him since his life has denied him
Angels, give us a sign that he's holding a mic
As he closed his eyes, heaven's gates were rising
Now he's resting in silence, [?]
[Outro: Nas (Sample)]
To my man, to my man, God bless your life
To my man, to my man, God bless your life
To my man, to my man, God bless your life
To my man, to my man, God bless your life
To my man, to my man
