| April 2nd 1939, the stars is in line
|
| Divine intervention at it’s own intention
|
| Birthed a gift
|
| In this DC kid
|
| He sung heavenly
|
| Good values and all
|
| And his father was in the ministry
|
| God fearing man with a mother that’s so beautiful
|
| The angels would serve her
|
| What’s her name?
|
| It’s Alberta
|
| This little boy quickly became a man
|
| From blowing in his father’s church
|
| To making his own band
|
| Called the Moonglows
|
| Sensational with his vocals
|
| That drove the ladies crazy
|
| Panties got thrown at his shows
|
| But he was far from happy
|
| He wore a smile just to hide it behind them doors
|
| Him and his father constantly colliding
|
| Marvin, the sound of your voice
|
| Sets fire my soul
|
| What a glory to be hold
|
| Marvin, my heart, my heart still wonders how
|
| I just hope you’re happy now
|
| Destined for greatness
|
| Counting his blessings
|
| Young’uns struggling with pressures
|
| That the fact that his pops was a cross dresser
|
| But he still loved him
|
| You know the bond between his son and father
|
| That only pushed him and forced him to sing harder
|
| His main man Harvey Fuqua gassed up his car
|
| Believed his sound
|
| And took him down to Motown y’all
|
| That’s where it all happened
|
| Success in the palm of his hand
|
| But unfortunate the fame wasn’t enough
|
| He wanted more out of life
|
| Took it further and found himself a wife
|
| Pretty Anna Gordy
|
| She made his time sit still
|
| She was the cousin of Barry G
|
| The founder of Hitsville
|
| Please pay attention because the story it gets ill
|
| Shit’s real
|
| Trials and tribulations son’s facing
|
| You gotta play the cards you’re dealt
|
| Ain’t no telling what life deals
|
| Death will cause you to have night chills
|
| Enough to keep a nigga bothered
|
| Especially when the negatives start coming from your father
|
| Marvin, the sound of your voice
|
| Sets fire my soul
|
| What a glory to be hold
|
| Marvin, my heart, my heart still wonders how
|
| I just hope you’re happy now
|
| Money, women and drugs came into play
|
| Now wouldn’t you know
|
| There goes another happy home down the drain
|
| That night life had him speeding through hell
|
| Scarred by the death of Tammy Terell
|
| Couldn’t believe it, he spiraled downhill
|
| Secluding himself
|
| From the music and the press
|
| He was sick and really getting depressed
|
| Time passed so he bounced back on track
|
| New and improved
|
| Even got himself a new wife too
|
| Everything is on the up and up
|
| Got his act together spiritually he claims
|
| You could see the glow up on this fella
|
| Tried to make amends with his father
|
| But the hatred is too strong
|
| Revolver in his palm
|
| The warning that death was close
|
| His mother screaming out «Honey don’t do it!»
|
| One shot to the chest made Marvin lose fluids
|
| April 1st he died on the spot
|
| The scene was so horrific
|
| How a father could kill his own son
|
| Defines wicked
|
| Marvin, the sound of your voice
|
| Sets fire my soul
|
| What a glory to be hold
|
| Marvin, my heart, my heart still wonders how
|
| I just hope you’re happy now
|
| Marvin
|
| Marvin
|
| It’s the sound of the music
|
| Marvin
|
| Marvin
|
| Marvin |
