One of the deepest songs by P

:mjcry:

Bro...since my daughter's passing, I always had a tough time listening to this song. Prodigy spelled out my daughter's pain for me in vivid detail that only Prodigy, one of the most gifted MC's I've heard in my 40 plus years of listening to hip hop, could do.

Living life with a disease that attacked them by no fault of their own. But I always left this song feeling that my daughter was the complete opposite of Prodigy who with pen to pad said that he allowed the pain of sickle cell to negatively color how he saw the world. Thankfully, my daughter never allowed her disease to take away her joy.

We all handle pain differently...and to hear that he's succumbed to the disease....

I'm tearing up bro....

Always my favorite verse on that shyt and I'd recite it all the time, still in heavy rotation after all these years :wow:

Yo, I conversate wit many men, it's time to begin again
Forgot what I already knew, aiyyo you hear me friend?
Illuminati want my mind, soul, and my body
Secret society, tryin to keep they eye on me
But I'm stay incogni', in places they can't find me
Make my moves strategically, the G.O.D.
It's sorta similar but iller than a chess player
I use my thinker, it coincides with my blinker
While you wondered what we sayin on the records real
Yeah you motherfukkin right kid you know the deal
My Mobb is Infamous just like the fukkin title read
You get back slapped so hard make ya nose bleed
Some ---- kids feeling guilty bout the ----
But you first baby girl so just face it (awright)
But anyway, back on the real side of things
My nikkaz sling cracks and wear fat diamond rings
Not only is it inside the songs that we sing (kid)
Everything is real not just a song that we sing (word up, it's real)
From my life to the paper (what), very accurately
Give you all of my two so maybe you can three
Prodigy will forever will S-H-I-N-E (shine baby, just shine)
My shyt attract millions like the moon attract the sea
How dare you ever in your life walk past me
Without acknowledgin this man as G-O-D
I shot ya fakkit ass

I had no idea sickle cell caused this many problems and could effect so many different body parts :mjcry:
Yea man it's no joke. Black people (especially ones w/ close lineage to west africa) should always find out if they're a carrier. 2 carriers have a 25% chance of having a kid w/ sickle cell.
Not to be funny but god going be looking at him about that pearly gate diss

False. Avg lifespan is like early 40s for men w/ sickle cell.
