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 would've 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 there's 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 That's 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 would'a 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 pain's 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 can't wait to see you again Save a place in heaven for me
There's an angel in the sky watching over me There's an angel in the sky watching over me
