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
