about

About my two grandfathers who past away some time ago both will illnesses. Just wanted to pay homage to them.

lyrics

(1)
All the stories I remember.
From my old old man,
Side to side, altogether could cover the whole damn,
Earth, Birth, was how I associated
To my mothers father, always kept me in the game, motivated
Had me thinkin of ways to get mine
Cause I wanted to go to the arcade and waste time
Couldnt go alone, I was too young at age five
So he'd walk me down the road and watch my face smile
Remember when coloured pencils were in at the time
Begged and begged for a set which I could call mine
Till one day, I got em, jumped up and down all night
Drawing pictures sktechin away up until the daylight
Lookin back to the times, I just sincerely hope
That I said that I loved him, and thanked him. Even though
I wasnt there when he passed away, I know Daddy's in heaven
Just chillin, lookin down at us, while he's watchin us singin/

(Hook)
Even though you're gone,
You never really left
We know you're at home
Yeah you with us every breath
The bond is true, and it's always strong
This is not goodbye, cause to us you aint gone

And you'll forever be our rock
We'll always pay respect
We never gonna stop
You with us every step
You with us in spirit, yeah while we move on
This is not goodbye, cause to us you aint gone

(2)
This seconds dedicated to another special man
Even if we werent as close, I was always part of the fam
Trips up in the van, stuck in traffic jams
Drivin up to Pasig for my dad's side of the clan.
I know I was too young too remember much of him
All that I remember was that he was nothin but lovin
A good family man, provided and did his
bid in order to raise all of his thirteen kids.
Well without him I wouldn't be gracing a mic
Hell without him, shit I wouldn't even be alive
I pay respects to Lolo, Yes its all that I wish
The man who gave me the name, he made J.Roque exist
I'm sorry we weren't closer, if time machines existed
I would go back and not be so scared of you as a kid
So rest in peace pops, yes we miss you its true
I raise my lighter in the air here cause this ones for you

(3)
So raise your glass to sky for all those passed
Heres a toast to their lives, lets make the moment last
Let em know that theyre missed, and that we all think of em
This is for all those who's lost love ones above em
So this is my way of paying my homage above
To those lost in my life, let me know that theyre loved
Let em know that Mommy and Lola are still here strong
And that theyre spirit are nowhere near gone
