we know left is best
but tell me whats the left
and how could the best
have left us?
yes the greif it stings
open your heart and sing
rest in peace king

as the ocean waves
crash upon the shore
i hear his voice say
"lula livre"
fighting for the goods
in his addias hood
and his chain of gold

and the pain i feel
aint probly half as real
as whats been felt by Matt and David
and Sam and Jamie too
i really hope he know
how much he meant to us all

in a world of big mouths and empty shelves
fully loaded mansions with empty shelves
your words and actions were genuine the people could tell
broke down doors you never ceased to excel
saw la lula man i wish i met you sooner
theorys on point bro you was a sharp shooter
humanist, bold, humourous
in a world so cold
grifters, sell out for a bag of gold
majority report where you molded your thoughts on
tmbs you would talk that talk
always kind, looking out for the under dog
fought for workers everyday punching the card
you a star, legend, an icon for us
we gon fight for whats just
you keep the light on us
from flesh to stardust we blessed to know you dude
everyday you served us with some good soul food
international, cosmopolitan,
you left so abrupt man its hard to process it
man we shook as ever, PS thanks for the book
its Michael Brooks forever

Guys stay safe, stay well, be kind to yourselves and others, and also realize that that effort starts each day

so watch TMBS chop it up with Cornell West
and i say man im gonna miss Michael
yeah the greif it stings
open your heart and sing
rest in peace king
