Tavy

Intro (slow, drawn out, melodic)

Yeah…

This one’s for Tavy… my day one… my brother…

Ayy… we ain’t forget you… nah…

⸻

Verse 1

We was kids, wild as fuck, you was my first real friend,

Laughin’, jokin’, runnin’ streets, thought that shit would never end.

Talkin’ late nights, phones buzzin’, sunlight hittin’ our eyes,

You said, “Girl, don’t let nobody fuck with your life.” (pause)

Goofy ass smile, everybody knew your name,

But loyalty ten deep, that’s how you played the game.

Had my back, I had yours, we survived the pain,

Now your memory’s heavy, got me feelin’ insane. (ad-lib: yeah, yeah)

⸻

Chorus (melodic, half-spit/half-sing)

Tavy, you the golden ticket, never switchin’ lanes,

Stood on ten for your people, never fold, never playin’ games.

We lost you August 25, that shit cut deep, no lie,

But I feel you in my heart, every night I cry. (ad-lib: ayy, yeah)

Golden soul, real one, can’t nobody replace,

Still hear your laugh, still see your face.

Tavy, my brother, my day one, my light,

Even in the dark, you keep me right. (ad-lib: whoa, whoa)

⸻

Verse 2

Long nights, no sleep, walkin’ through the city alone,

Remember every word you said, still chillin’ in my bones.

Talkin’ life, dreams, pain, everything we shared,

You taught me to be strong, never fold, always prepared.

Everybody liked you, but you never played no games,

Golden ticket energy, loyalty in your veins.

Even when you gone, I still feel you near,

Tavy in my heart, your voice crystal clear. (ad-lib: yeah, ayy)

⸻

Chorus (repeat, with drawn-out flow and ad-libs)

Tavy, you the golden ticket, never switchin’ lanes,

Stood on ten for your people, never fold, never playin’ games.

We lost you August 25, that shit cut deep, no lie,

But I feel you in my heart, every night I cry. (ad-lib: ayy, yeah, whoa)

Golden soul, real one, can’t nobody replace,

Still hear your laugh, still see your face.

Tavy, my brother, my day one, my light,

Even in the dark, you keep me right.

⸻

Bridge (slower, melodic, emotional)

I visit your grave, sometimes I break the fuck down,

See our pics, hear our jokes, replay them in my town.

Still feel your vibe, still hear your laugh,

Guidin’ me through dark nights, never let me crash. (ad-lib: ayy, yeah)

⸻

Outro (half-sung, half-spit)

Tavy… you the one, the brother, the motherfuckin’ friend,

Golden ticket forever, this ain’t the end.

We gon’ hold your name, keep your memory alive,

Forever in my heart, your spirit survives. (ad-lib: ayy, whoa)
