This is for my peoples

Who just lost somebody

Your best friend, your baby

Your man or your lady

Put your hand way up high

We will never say bye

Mamas, daddies, sisters, brothers

Friends and cousins

This is for my peoples

Who lost their grandmothers

Lift your head to the sky

Cause we will never say bye
