Angel in the Sky

There's an angel in the sky watchin over me
There's an angel in the sky watchin over me

They say it's always darkest before the dawn
And that you don't know what you got until it's gone
I thought I knew what I had but I was wrong
And that's why I gots to write this song
Now, come on, now, come on

Say man, I thought it wouldve been a long time for us
And many more years on the grind for us
I thought the future held a lot for us both and it was brighter
We were super tight but finna be super tighter

I guess I just assumed we had more time for us
To make more music and write more rhymes
But never in my life could I ever have seen
That I would ever have to lose the other half of my team

And take away the glitter the gold and the gleam
Say man, I wonder to myself what does it all really mean?
Nothing without the people you love, say man I miss my brother
But I know he's looking down from above and theres an angel

There's an angel in the sky watchin over me
There's an angel in the sky watchin over me

It all began on Shreveport Ave sittin off in the den
Making beats and puttin paper to pen
We was determined to win and you couldn't tell us different
Mama West was cool with it but Monroe kept trippin

It seems just like yesterday sometime
Sittin in your bedroom writing dumb rhymes
Man, you makin beats on the Ensoniq
And we was smokin dirt weed cause it wasn't no chronic

I still remember when we started the crew
It was me, Mitchell Queen, Jamal Jackson and you
Started out as 4BM but then we ended with two
Thats when we introduced the world to the U

To the G to the K, Underground Kings, DJ Byrd
Pimp C and Bun B we kept it G, say word
Who woulda known back in 92, in 2008 I'd have to
Write this song sayin, I miss you but it's true

There's an angel in the sky watchin over me
There's an angel in the sky watchin over me

Just for the record let me go ahead and say
I love my brother Pimp C and man, I miss him everyday
Yeah, my heart still hurts and the pains still fresh
But I'ma put God first to keep that pressure off my chest

And remind me that I'm blessed to have had him as a friend
A ride or die homie that was with me till the end
Real talk man, we was closer than kin
And I know that I'll never have a partner like that again

So Chad Butler I just want you to know
I keep your memory close, I'm never lettin it go
And they gon always remember that you was here, mayne
Cause I'ma make 'em remember, that's why I'm here, mayne

Yeah, it's still hard and I still cry
But you and God keep me strong, so I'ma still try
Reppin this UGK, now won't I?
Cause through your music you live forever, so Trill don't die

I know you're watchin' over me, last night I saw you in my dream
At the crossroads, I'll see you there
My friend, my brother till the end cant wait to see you again
Save a place in heaven for me

Theres an angel in the sky watching over me
Theres an angel in the sky watching over me
