Jonylah Forever |
How bout them bullets ain’t slow you up You ain’t really die and we watched you grow up At twelve months you took ya first steps |
Awkwardly across the kitchen floor to your best |
Your first breaths that we can call words |
In ya fathers lap on November 23rd |
And They were «live for me"and he did for you |
Flipped to neutron and stayed inside the crib for you |
And this commitment from ya father imparted a deep sense of value you’d forever |
harbor |
And we were all so proud as we seen you gettin’smarter |
And the bond grow deeper between a mother and a daughter |
Cause you were not a martyr |
At six you started reading whole books |
At seven you knew how a brain looked |
And could roughly describe all the different regions |
Could tell when we were sick and even knew the reason |
The world wasn’t at peace |
Gunfire every weekend |
But you were hardly there |
Cause you was always leaving |
Field museum planetarium aquarium |
You saw something special in that tank you were starin’in |
And in those moments as a little girl you realized it was a bigger world |
Bigger than the southside |
Bigger than Chicago |
And you were bigger but still wanted on rims on ya car though |
And big ass woofers in ya car door |
So you could wang like ya daddy at the park eating sharks |
Went to King where you were teased for being smart |
Where you bumped into Hadiya teaching art. |
You Live forever |
At sixteen is when you got you scholarship |
At twenty-two is when you got ya doctorate |
Even now it’s kinda hard to believe |
But ya father taught you work hard and achieve |
And you complied |
Accepted by every medical school you applied |
But the coolest thing is when they offered you that high paying slot you replied |
«They need me in the hood"and that’s where you reside |
Free clinic, nobody denied |
And that’s where you heard the shots and quickly ran outside |
And saw a man and van and a bleeding baby in his hands |
Fading fast but you knew she could survive |
Did everything you could to keep this girl alive |
Stabilized until the ambulance arrived |
And In that moment where you gave your help, bet you didn’t know that you saved |
yourself |
You live forever |
Lord have mercy |
