Joe Budden Send Him Our Love Lyrics

[Hook 1 - Sample from "Send Her My Love" by Journey]
I still recall
A sad cafe
How it hurt so bad to see her cry
I didn't want to say goodbye

[Joe Budden - talking behind the Hook]
Uh
I know you up there doin it big

[Verse 1 - Joe Budden]
Look, what up Ray? Was speechless, I ain't know what to say
Got the call like at 8 AM, with Nate saying
You had passed away, I'm like why n____s stay playing?
Your MySpace page playing, it started my day aching
It hit me like a tumor, felt like it was too soon to
Thought it was a rumor, until it wasn't a rumor
Can't believe that it's over
But if God called you, I ain't even mad at him, he must've needed a soldier
I was like your mentor, you was like my friend, nah
When I seen you, I would treat you like my kin and more
We used to scream 'f___ these n____s!' like Tim Dog
You was the only rap n____ I would fend for
Was fiending for beats, stuck between your dream and the streets
You just wanted to be seen as elite
Cause you loved Far Rock like I love Jersey, so I feel ya
But love something too much, guarantee it'll kill ya
For reala

[Hook 2 - Sample from "Send Her My Love" by Journey]
Send him my love, memories remain
Send him my love
Roses never fade
Send him my love, memories remain
Send him my, send him my love

[Joe Budden - talking behind Hook] - w/ ad libs
Know what I mean?
I remember we was in the studio doing
Doing "You Know What'll Happen"
It was me, you and Cau
You told me to keep my verses sixteen
I said 'you know I can't do that!'
I went ahead and gave 'em mad bars, you was mad as f___
You went and tried to stretch your s___ out, I wasn't having it though, n____

[Verse 2 - Joe Budden]
Look, Riot Squad keep your head up
Remember we would diss each other on tracks, laugh about it when we met up
I'm looking in your casket, praying a n____ get up
For a minute, I couldn't help but think that you was set up
No matter who you are, you got to answer when the Lord calling
I told you go and f___ with Jimmy, that's before "Ballin"
Go get your cash right, hard to slow down livin the fast life
I just heard you on Flex show last night
Like was it old beef or was you gettin stuck up?
A line outside your funeral, Ran was really f___ed up
And I was too but the difference is
I was more in awe at the ignorant value of life that living gets
Pulled the burner on you, but you fought that dude
I read the paper, it said the pigs caught that dude
It's sad another black man, taken by a black hand
Was your last night in the club, we could have saved your last dance
God d___!

[Hook 2]

[Joe Budden - talking behind Hook] - w/ ad libs
I remember like
I remember we was in Cancun
That was my first time out there in Cancun
Me and you was rollin together
You talkin about 'where the b____es, where the b____es, where the b____es at?'
Like n____ I don't know, you supposed to be "The Gorgeous Gangsta"
Don't ask me nothin, I don't speak no Spanish
I love you n____

[Verse 3 - Joe Budden]
I know the kids really need you
I keep telling 'em, Pac wanted to sign you and Big wanted to see you
Pun wanted to cypher
L wanted you to bring some of that good kush up and get a little higher
Go and help Jam Master Jay get the crowd hyper
Or maybe Freaky Tah switched up and needed a writer
Maybe Aaliyah single up there and need a rider
Know you and Rick James would set the studio on fire
You in a better place up there at the pearly gates
You could be "The Gorgeous Gangster" and n____s won't hate
Some n____s tapped the bottle, pour out a little Hennessy
I'm in the clouds, screamin "Squad Up" in your memory

[Hook 2]

[Outro - Joe Budden - talking behind Hook]
I remember when you called me that day, I think you was in Far Rock
And you had some b____ in your car and your car broke down
And you called me talkin about
'Do I got AAA and s___?'
I'm like 'nah, but at least that answer your question'
And you like 'what question?'
I'm like 'well, I just heard a song of yours
Talking about you wanted to know why she won't stay with you
And she want go ride with a G'
Haha, I love you n____
Uh, rest in peace
