about

Jet 2 pays homage to the late Godwin "Goddy" Thurton.

lyrics

[Intro]
Yeah yeah Yeah
Woah woah woah woah
Woah woah woah (It's Awavy)

[Chorus 1]
Never knew life would take you away so soon
We lost a God the day that we lost you
All I got is memories, tryna hold my head (Jet 2)
Remembering that IAmWest (Whussaap)
Memories without you
You

[Verse 1]
You can't put a price on the countless people you inspiring
I just wanna cry, you the reason I do this
Many times we were in the car
You always told me I would be a star
I believed it, dawg
Recordin' in the whip, 'cause I ain't have a mic then
Made three songs in like ten
Minutes, we was killin', rippin', slicin'
We gon' get the cake and all the icin'
Never knew a heartbreak like this
I'll be praying for your wife and kids
Briel, Gabby, Godwin, Mase, and Max
It's hard to face the facts for me
Asking God how to turn a tragedy
To something positive, just so sad to me
Still having talks with you, I'm imagining
That you aren't so far away
Looked at yo' body today
It was hard for me to walk away
Goodbye's something you never wanna say, ay, ay
I have no choice, guess I have to believe
When we put you in the ground, we planted a seed

[Chorus 2]
Never knew God would take you back so soon
Always said I'd make sure that your words come true
You said I'd be a legend, I'll make sure I do
That's the least that I can do for you
That's the least that I could do for you
Never thought you'd be gone before I do
I never thought God would take you back so soon
I never thought God would take you back so soon

[Verse 2]
Reflectin' on the first time I spit Sippie Cup for you
Walked up to you, "I think I can rap too,
What you think they gon' think?" I still had to ask you
I was just a shy kid, you and K Wynn was rippin' ciphers
Heard my verse and you told me I was the nicest
Brought me around the campus, made me spit it for the school
Didn't know what to do, I was no where as good as you
At first, it was a hobby when I came wit' it
You told me I'll probably be like Wayne in it
Brought me 'round them ciphers, I had papers wit' me
You told me just spit it from the brain, nigga
Gave me an excuse to express
My pain from broken families, all the stress
I harbored deep inside, I was a mess
Long live Goddy, IAmWest
