In his words; “WTF is all of that about/I just heard he died, seen that video at that restaurant/ Took me out of a positive mood/ Took me back to that day when you saw my gun and you said I was wild/ Then I told you you should have one too/ Cuz it weren’t like ni..gaz wasn’t dying but I thought you knew/ And I ain’t really fck wit you/ But I didn’t want you dead, it was like that with me and you/ Wicked!/ I hope they catch whoever did you wicked/ I hope you rest in peace. Even though we ain’t kick it/ At the end of the day we some grown ass niiiggaz”. “RIP AKA”.
