(Mmm, yeah)
I’m still searching for the light you left behind
(Oh, baby)
Mary Philip, the hustler, my dearest heart
I can’t believe we had to drift apart
Without a whisper, without a last goodbye
You left a hole beneath this heavy sky
You were the best, the purest I’ve ever known
A guiding grace that I could call my own
God sent you here for a purpose so divine
I’m grateful that your life was once part of mine
Oh, Mary Philip, I’m paying back the debt
But the cost of your love is something I can’t forget
If I emptied every account, if I borrowed all I could
I couldn’t repay the way you stood where you stood
Oh, your legacy, it’s written in the stone
You were my sister, now you’re resting all alone
Yeah, baby, I miss you
I think back to the days you taught me the trade
The handwork lessons and the plans that we made
You bought the clothes, you prepped for the child
But you never saw that baby’s first smile
And for Fidelis, oh, our kidda bruh
You held him up, you were always enough
But you aren’t here to see the freedom he’s earned
Just the pages of the lessons that we learned
Oh, Mary Philip, I’m paying back the debt
But the cost of your love is something I can’t forget
If I emptied every account, if I borrowed all I could
I couldn’t repay the way you stood where you stood
Oh, your legacy, it’s written in the stone
You were my sister, now you’re resting all alone
Words are just ghosts, they can’t catch how I feel
Searching the world for a touch that was real
But you’re nowhere to be found, just a memory in the air
I’m looking for your shadow, but I find you’re never there
(I need you, Mary)
Keep resting now, let the weight fall away
I’ll carry your spirit every single day
You’re unforgettable, a queen of the grind
Leaving the darkness and the struggles behind
I’ll hold the torch until we meet again
My sister, my hero, my light, and my friend
Oh, Mary Philip, I’m paying back the debt
But the cost of your love is something I can’t forget
If I emptied every account, if I borrowed all I could
I couldn’t repay the way you stood where you stood
Oh, your legacy, it’s written in the stone
You were my sister, now you’re resting all alone
Rest easy, Mary Philip
All the medals you've 🏅 won back then in your school age, is now trash. Hmmm life
(I miss you, oh)
We’ll see you on the other side
(Yeah, keep resting)
Till we meet again, my sister
(Mmm, yeah)
