The Sound of a Memory - People Under The Stairs

It’s the sound of the memory

(The sound of the memory of many living people)

It’s the sound of the memory

(The sound of the memory of many living people)

It’s the sound of the memory

(The sound of the memory of many living people)

It’s the sound of the memory

(The sound of the memory of many living people)

It’s the s-

Lookin' through the greats

We see what we made

All around the world

Where P got played

Good and bad

Chris and Mike

We bumpin' while you and your lady havin' a fight

That’s right, it happens, but the brothers keep rappin'

Losin' all the legends, man it keep happenin'

I miss the homie Rick

I miss my Uncle Lewis

He used to get the LA Times, Huey Lewis

I do this for the people

Who got no voice

I do this for the people

Who got no choice

Summer, my mojo

I’m slow-mo

I’m Friday night, raw

On the thirteenth

They say the cousin of death is sleep

That’s why me and the homie keep beats in the street

Dreams not memes, y’all

Keep followin'

Stay out your feelings, people

No wallowin'

It’s the sound of the memory

(The sound of the memory of many living people)

It’s the sound of the memory

(The sound of the memory of many living people)

It’s the s-

After we lost Pat

It was hard to imagine movin' on

To the studio, tryin' to make a new song

Knowin' he’d never hear it

Sayin' he’s here in spirit

Didn’t help at all, I needed it, that alcohol

Had to corrupt grief

Had to learn to accept

Celebrate the good times, that was the next step

Because you gotta believe, even though people are gone

That they loved you and wanted you to continue on

I carry these memories and let 'em stack to my last day

When my physical’s reduced to something stuck in an ashtray

So let it burn, empty out the urn, let me float away

The memories of better days will carry your soul away

Huh, I pour out a little bit of beer

Tell your people’s that you love them while they all still here

Show your people that you love them while they all still here

Man, tell your people that love them while they still can hear

The sound

Of the memory

Sound, of the memory

Sound, of the memory

Sound, of the memory of many living people in the place to be

It’s the sound of the memory

(The sound of the memory of many living people)

It’s the s-
