Lyrics
I'm sorry,
I know this letter is a little late
But I already wrote it so
I'm sending it anyway I should drop it off myself
and tip the bouncer at heaven's gate maybe he'll let me in and
I'll read it out to your face
I saw your picture trending,
I got excited
Then I saw #RIP and I
just couldn't like it a woman like you is timeless
but sadly not immortal God should add an
extra day for every human that you fought for
So many memories just rolling down my eyes and
if I wipe them off I might forget the better times
I mean they're all over my face there's no place for them
to hide emotions on child lock I can't open up from inside
but am trying
My dad spoke a lot about you I remembered
The media too but I like my father's version better he got so poetic
it make her cry when he said it he spoke
about your grace your beauty it made my mum jealous
Y'all resembled each other
So blessed, so perfect, so unreal,
So worth it you great things deserving
Multitasking,
How are you a queen and servant
You can afford to pay respect cause
First you earned it you didn't see black
and white you saw the colours of equality
The shade of democracy
You paved over the poverty your
artistry is so in tune with modesty and honesty
Those are the same ideas that polished me
I tried to keep this letter short
I know you must be busy having dinner with the Lord
while Madiba's watching sports
did he miss you
I'm sure it feels like your first date
Is he happy to have you home for his
Hundredth birthday I should probably leave now
I should let you get some rest put your feet up and destress
And don't worry about us because of you we struggle less
still not free but we are blessed
Still too black but nonetheless,
Human
And may your kids be taken care of
May they live as long as you
You raised the rest of us so well I hope they got to know you too
I hope you read this letter for the other icons in the room
we never got the chance to say we love them too
2nd of April and a great show ends
and you can spread your little angel wings added to the angel list
Of the greatest who ever graced the Earth
how does it feel to give a nation birth.
Goodbye
