Busta Rhymes releases a song called "Chris Lighty" in honor of his close friend, with an appearance from the late Bob Marley.
Chris Lighty Lyrics by Busta Rhymes Ft. Bob Marley
(Verse: Busta Rhymes)
Violator.. For life
The moment of truths arrival Finding the proof in bibles,
Torans qorans etc.. distribute the jewel through virals
Quenchin they thirst to see you knowin they hurt they need you
Sharin my pain through these words hopin to connect with people
Providing space where there’s space of mind while we conquer evil
Visit a place where you see the sign and can spark the cerebral
Sick with the truth when I’m in the booth like I caught the beazles
What I let off is lethal let’s set it off and eat to-gether
Bless the possess the signs that come before me,
I wrote this couple days after they took Chris Lighty from me
Still in denial but put up your cellys and lighters only
And rep your love like the greatest pain when you lose your homie
Despite ya try to hide it, look how ya try to fight it
There’s no possible words, you could find to describe it
You would’ve enlightened a lot of lives that would make us mighty
Your still at light no coincidence your last name is Lighty
(Hook: Bob Marley)
This could be the first trumpet, might as well be the last:
Many more will have to suffer,
Many more will have to die – don’t ask me why.
Things are not the way they used to be,
I won’t tell no lie
One and all have to face reality
(Verse: Busta Rhymes)
And since you’re gone I’ll face and stare it in the eyeball
Back is against the right wall, the sun is setting
My spirit gets darker when the night falls
Still in denial when my phone be ringing
And I hope you might call
Seeing you smile when you know we winning, stepping through the right doors
Glorious moments with you, nothing we couldn’t get through
Still question what were you feeling before that bullet hit you
I called when I supposedly happened but couldn’t get through
Questioning those who were there and exactly what did they do
Painful, my tears just fallin
Master of problem solving
A man of God so I know you’re hearing these trumpets calling
So many questions remain unanswered, it’s so exhausting
The harsh realities of another precious life that’s lost and
You never fell under any pressure, they couldn’t stop you
I’m sad you’re gone but I’m happy to know that God got you
So much I’ve learned from you bro, I’mma rep you til the end
You rest in power and peace until we meet again
So much I’ve learned from you bro, I’mma rep you til the end
You rest in power and peace until we meet again
(Outro: Bob Marley)
If you listen carefully now you will hear:
There’s a natural mystic blowing through the air.
Such a natural mystic blowing through the air
There’s a natural mystic blowing through the air
Such a natural mystic blowing through the air
Such a natural mystic blowing through the air
Such a natural mystic blowing through the air.
