Lyrics

(Sustained

synth

pad

fades

in)

Yeah.

It’

s

heavy,

man.

Rest

easy,

Kwahel.

The

streets

remember.

I’

m

looking

at

the

wall,

seeing

faces

that

ain't

here

no

more

It’

s

cold,

the

silence

louder

than

the

sirens

at

the

door

They

called

you

the

General,

yeah,

you

held

the

line

for

us

Now

I’

m

sweeping

up

the

ashes,

I’

m

clearing

off

the

dust

You

had

a

vision

for

the

block,

you

had

a

code

you

kept

I’

m

standing

in

the

lobby

where

we

laughed

and

where

we

wept

The

sliding

bass

is

low,

it’

s

hitting

deep

inside

my

chest

I’

m

sending

up

a

prayer

for

the

soul

that’

s

laid

to

rest

Rest

in

power,

Kwahel,

they

can’

t

erase

your

name

Even

when

the

winter

hits,

your

spirit

stays

the

flame

We’

re

holding

onto

memories,

we’

re

keeping

all

the

light

Walking

through

the

shadows

just

to

make

it

through

the

night

Yeah,

the

General

is

gone,

but

the

legacy

remains

Flowing

through

the

city

like

the

water

through

the

veins

I

remember

late

nights,

we

were

talking ‘

bout

the

future

Now

the

reality

is

sharp,

like

a

jagged

metal

suture

You

taught

us

how

to

stand

when

the

pressure

started

mounting

I’

m

sitting

on

the

corner,

all

these

lonely

hours

counting

The

streets

feel

different

now,

the

energy

is

drained

It’

s

like

the

sky

is

heavy

and

it’

s

never

gonna

stop

the

rain

I

hear

your

voice

in

the

echoes

of

the

alleyway

at

dawn

Hard

to

keep

on

moving

knowing

that

the

leader’

s

gone

Rest

in

power,

Kwahel,

they

can’

t

erase

your

name

Even

when

the

winter

hits,

your

spirit

stays

the

flame

We’

re

holding

onto

memories,

we’

re

keeping

all

the

light

Walking

through

the

shadows

just

to

make

it

through

the

night

Yeah,

the

General

is

gone,

but

the

legacy

remains

Flowing

through

the

city

like

the

water

through

the

veins

Time

moves

slow

when

you’

re

grieving

for

a

king

Silence

is

the

only

song

that

the

neighborhood

can

sing

We’

re

tired,

we’

re

broken,

but

we’

re

standing

on

your

word

Your

impact

is

the

loudest

thing

that

I

have

ever

heard

I’

m

looking

at

the

mural,

it’

s

a

masterpiece

in

grey

I’

m

wishing

that

I

had

one

more

chance

to

hear

you

say

That

everything

is

gonna

be

alright,

just

hold

your

ground

I’

m

searching

for

your

spirit

in

the

quiet

of

this

town

It’

s

a

hollow

kind

of

feeling

when

the

pillar

turns

to

ghost

I’

m

lifting

up

a

glass

to

the

one

I

miss

the

most

Rest

in

power,

Kwahel,

the

mission

stays

alive

Because

of

what

you

planted,

we’

re

gonna

survive

Rest

in

power,

Kwahel,

they

can’

t

erase

your

name

Even

when

the

winter

hits,

your

spirit

stays

the

flame

We’

re

holding

onto

memories,

we’

re

keeping

all

the

light

Walking

through

the

shadows

just

to

make

it

through

the

night

Yeah,

the

General

is

gone,

but

the

legacy

remains

Flowing

through

the

city

like

the

water

through

the

veins

Yeah.

Kwahel.

The

General.

We

keep

the

light

on.

Rest

easy,

brother. (
