letra de in loving memory - nick steele

[verse 1]
i remember driving to school everyday didn’t really wanna be there
in a sloppy little car that needed some repairs
but i remember he’s there with a smile and a wave
and a silly joke like “hey make sure you behave”
and so i’d laugh and keep driving
it was so surprising, his warmn was something that was so reviving
even on the worst of days
i remember seeing him at the dance show after he rehe-rs-d some days
it was funny he always make people smile
we had a conversation every once in a while
i remember after the dance show him and his wife came into work
it was the smile and the wave that i remember first
and i remember back when his wife worked at dv
and it was my turn to wave and wait for him to see me
and he did, he said something like how you doing kid?
he had just came from the 2nd dance show i asked him how he did
his wife laughed and i forget what he said
but we talked and he mentioned that thing on my head
as in my hair and he said he had the same fro
back when he was younger but n0body would know
but he was hungry and when he paid me with his money
a gave him a discount and saw that smile so sunny
it was like 8:30 but he was still so merry
i never thought one day i’d wake to news so scary
i had gone to school for 4 years and he was always right there
make everyone feel happy cause we know that he cared
about us and he gave us his trust
in a world full of adults that don’t give much to us
and so for 4 years straight he was always at the gate
with a wave and a smile and a “hurry up” if we were late
but it was great, the best way to start off the day
it’s crazy there is just so much i can say
i remember back in summer school i was taught but his son
who made chem. physics actually a little fun
but like i begun, i had seen him every day for just 4 years
it was the very last day of school when he had disappeared
that was a wednesday and my last day was tomorrow
but you could see everybody eyes filled with so much sorrow
and so i drove through the gates and no one was there
and deep in my heart i knew it just wasn’t fair
that he wasn’t there and it felt so different
that now everytime i show up i feel just so distant
and when he entered the gates of heaven, i wonder who waved
rest in peace, pat quinn, i promise you i’ll behave…

start beat over

[verse 2}
i was senior in high school taking my first year of spanish
at the start i didn’t know how i was gonna manage
how i wouldn’t go crazy with all those little freshman
i guess it only took a few days for me to accept them
i learned a lot of lessons and they gave me some cr-p
but james and this other kid always wanted to rap
me in a battle and i was like that’ll
never happen, i’m not doing any rappin
he said “to much of a challenge? and we banter back and forth
but i took every comment for everything that it was worth
he was hilarious, he always had me crying
cause his cleverness was something that there was no denying
he played football and he played lacrosse
the type of kid to do something like offer you dental floss
just to be generous and i don’t know how many people remember this
but for a kid his age he was rather adventurous
so comfortable as himself and always giving people aid
d-gg-ng on me cause i was in the 12 grade
which i expected and his opinions i respected
i’m still wishing i could give him this message
cause he was wise beyond his years, so much wiser than his peers
i pray the angels caught every one of his mother tears
looking out at this town, seeing so many people miss him
i made a promise to myself not to make you a statistic
your smile i miss it, along with your saying
name dropper and pear shapped, it would drive me insane
but there was no limit to what you did
which was surprising for such a young kid
and so i heard the news sunday, recorded the song on monday
and figured i’d give it to your mom one day
and so friday you had your whole city wearing that lime blue and green
and all the support from the members of the football team
and all the love and support that i wish you could see
back on your own two feet i wish you could be
to see they spray painted your name on the wall
adults didn’t like it but i didn’t see a problem at all
it was just a wall for someone who lost their life
but you know adults always gotta make things right
and i’m not saying its right but i will say that i miss you
i’ve seen a lot of trash cans with a lot of used tissues
i never figured out why i was pear shappen
but later that night, is a different narration

it was a culd-e-sac and so i was driving in circles, trying to find a purpose
you were so young man you didn’t deserve this
but it was my purpose to deliver, this song to your mom
i guess my biggest fear was that it’d be taken wrong
and so i sat in the car for like 10 minutes
and told my self that it was my job to finish
and deliver the song that i had started since the day that you departed
as i went into an area of my life that was clearly uncharted
and so i back my car around the corner and left the door unlocked
as i walked toward the front door i accidently kicked a rock
and then stepped on a leaf
it was like when your trying to be quiet but make the floorboards creek
and i couldn’t tell if they were asleep, this is your family
i was so scared, the completely opposite of manly
so i layed it on the doormat, a simple cd and the lyrics
hoping it would be found and that somebody would hear it
and so i walked back to the car, and then i drove home
but halfway there i realized i couldn’t leave it all alone
and so i made a u-turn, i was wasting so much gas
i bet you were watching me and trying not to laugh
causee what if it got stepped on, what if the cd broke
what if it was stolen before your family woke
so a parked around the corner i was lost once again
how to deliver this song to the boy who was my friend
and so i called my friend, jordan what do i do
wait it’s kinda late i hope i didn’t wake you
she said i was fine and i made up my mind
this was something your family just had to find
so i left the door unlocked and once i heard the ding dong
i ran as fast as i could i didn’t want to be seen long
cause this was your song i didn’t want the attention on me
ask your grandfather what he thinks of mitt romney
it was just important that you received the attention
and so i got back in my car and fired the engine
i made a right another right and parked along a wall
and stopped and allow my blood pressure to fall
that wasn’t bad at all as i caught my breath
notice i was out of shape, i only ran 10 steps
it was embarr-ssing, if i wasn’t black i would of blushed
the running the length of two houses gave me such a rush
but that’s what there was between us, you never made me feel less
by the things you said i was always impressed
wand so i waited a few minutes and then drove back
i wanted to make sure that they had received my rap
so as i turned back in i slowly drove the circle
i saw it lying on the ground and my face turned purple
oh great i thought, i just ding-dong ditched their house
now i figured i might have angered your mother fjfkfgkguigiugkjglkjour her spouse
and so i put it up against the window and left
but once again i became concerned about the theft
and so i drove back and again parked my car
this time a little closer so it wasn’t as far
i left it against the window, you know the routine
took off running and heard the dog scream, or heard the dog bark
got to where i had parked and i fumbled with the keys
lost a few more seconds when i freezed to sneeze
but i got going took a right and another right
at this point it was like 11:30 or so at night
i had just spend and hour being such a chicken
just to deliver one little song to listen
to…you’d find it so funny that i didn’t know what to do
and so it was sat-rday, the day of your service
i arrived and i still hadn’t found my purpose
it was 1:45, there was still an open casket
people were so down, there was no need to mask it
and as i got closer to the body
i kept an eye out for your mommy
so i could see what she looked like, i couldn’t remember
when did you come get that pizza i believe in december
and so all of a sudden, the line moved toward the casket
and i remember as i slowly walked past it
mentally i froze, i guess i supposed
at first i noticed the navy blue of your clothes
and then i saw your eyes and i guess i was hopin, that you’d smile and they would open
cause you took everything so far i guess i hoped that you were jokin
but that wasn’t the case
it was nice to see the peace on your face
and so i sat in the pew, a few row from the back
noticed a few friends from last years past
then malik found me and we got a better seat
eventually in the service it was time to speak
i was scared if i spoke that i would choke
and i coundn’t decide on what joke
i would share, and it just wasn’t fair
cause i all of a sudden malik was up there
so i left my chair and walked to the mic
i couldn’t see anyone i was blinded by the light
the was probably you shining it in my eyes
all while laughing, you were such a funny guy
and so i spoke and took a couple steps away
but you told your mother “don’t let him get away”
and she called my name and i instantly knew it
“you left a song at my house i would like you to do it”
and so i walked back up, in front of friends, parents and students
and while i pulled up the lyrics i think i said something stupid
a joke about skipping cl-ss, that you would of called me out for
and if i said anything iyou would probably pout more
until you got your way
cause you knew i saw the truth in the things that you would say
and so i stood there and i spoke up
did the whole song and got a little chocked up
but it was weird cause now that i think
i rapped right at you, the only thing i could see
from the mic
and i guess that would be right
cause we never got to fight in our rap battle
well i’ll be waiting out your verse
don’t think i forgot a just rapped my first
and i could continue the story
i know it would make you laugh
the neighbor asked for my number because she liked the rap
and she was really cute and i saw you patting my shoulder
you’re like really gorgeous is what i should of told her
and sorry if i’m taking this to lighty
i’m just being honest what what i am writing
you asked me if i made my own beats
i said i didn’t and so you said he cheats
and maybe pat had to die so he could wave to trenton
rest in peace to both i know that we won’t forget them
