being ruthless to systems and loving to people is something i try to practice daily and which took me a while to arrive at (i know im badly paraphrasing what he actually said but i think the basic intent is there)

I feel that. Particularly with all the madness of the media response to the genocide of Palestinians, Michael's compassion and righteous voice is sorely missed.

It seems like yesterday we used to rock the show

I laced the track, you locked the flow

So far from hangin' on the block for dough

Notorious, they got to know that

Life ain't always what it seem to be

Words can't express what you mean to me

Even though you're gone, we still a team

Through your family, I'll fulfill your dream

In the future, can't wait to see

If you open up the gates for me

Reminisce some time, the night they took my friend

Try to black it out, but it plays again

When it's real, feelings hard to conceal

Can't imagine all the pain I feel

Give anything to hear half your breath

I know you still livin' your life after death
