Lyrics

Nacirema Dream in stores March 5th
We gon do it for those who gone

Take these bars and play'em in the cemetary
You can't take money with you spend every penny
Ask me if life is short I say very
This is the 2012 obituary

Whitney Houston
Let us rejoice
Words can't describe her amazing voice
Born August 9th, 1963
Incredible black woman Newark, New Jersey
Soloist in the church choir astounding
Sold over 170 million albums
The cause of her dеath
Accidental drowning
She leavеs behind her daughter heavenly surrounded

Chris Lighty
Hip-hop shed a tear
He gave birth to so many careers
Born May 8th, 68 in The Bronx
Used to carry records for Red Alert he was smart
Started Violator made it better
He helped me with my career
We took a million dollar deal together
The cause of his death
They say suicide
But anybody who knows Chris he through the lies

Take these bars and play'em in the cemetary
You can't take money with you spend every penny
Ask me if life is short I say very
This is the 2012 obituary

Chris Nadler
Sad situation
Executive at Emmis Communications
A friend of mine treated you with respect
He did the Hot 97 talent show "Who's next?"
Familiar face on the New York music scene
He knew talent inspired you to do your thing
The cause of his death
He had a heart attack
They say the good die young that's a fact

Emanuel Steward
Rest in peace
He was a boxer and scientist at the least
Born July 7th in 44
Started out as an amateur boxer
Took challenges through war
Trained 41 champion fighters through his career
From Lennox Lewis, to Tommy Hearns, to Wladimir
The cause of his death
He had colon cancer
Why? Only God knows the answer

Take these bars and play'em in the cemetary
You can't take money with you spend every penny
Ask me if life is short I say very
This is the 2012 obituary

Don Cornelius
On every episode
He wished us all love, peace and soul
Born September 27th, in 36
In Chicago went to the marines he stayed legit
Inspired by the civil rights movement
He gave a TV venue in the United States for soul music
Exposure for artists like James Brown
Aretha Franklin, Michael Jackson black and proud
The cause of his death
Suicide
Life is short enjoy it while you alive
