I can see your halo, halo, halo

I can see your halo, halo, ha ha ha ha

Halo, halo, halo

I can see your halo, halo

Halo

I can see your halo, halo, ha ha ha ha

Halo, halo, halo

I can see your halo, halo

Yo, my heart feel like it′s suffering from strangulation

Tears flying outta my eyes, my heart racing and my hands shaking

The last days of your life as a cancer patient

I'm staring at your corpse praying and waiting for you to awaken

21 gun salute for the hero, the burial was beautiful

Both Greet Berets and Screaming Eagles attended the funeral

I was mad at God like he murdered you

As a father you couldn′t have done a better job

All six of your children basically worshipped you

If I needed advice I always came to you to discuss

You was the only person since the day I was born I ever trusted

Through poverty, death, disease and sickness

You always somehow found a way to turn the situation optimistic

I was a big fat kid overweight

So to clown me you bought the Fat Boys, it was my very first rap tape

In the neighborhood you had a name, you was feared and respected

All the fathers walked out on their kids and left them neglected

My only regret about not selling out and getting rich

Is that if I got millions I could've shared it and spend it with you

I miss you, I love you daddy

I can see your halo, halo, halo

I can see your halo, halo, ha ha ha ha

Halo, halo, halo

I can see your halo, halo

Halo

I can see your halo, halo, ha ha ha ha

Halo, halo, halo

I can see your halo, halo

Yo, part good Samaritan, part criminal, a master with weapons

Nice with his hands, he was Rugged Man the original

As children we saw you losing your sanity even though we watched you

Struggle financially, you kept the love in the family

Daddy, I'm thinking about you every day though, I can see you holding a

Machine gun in heaven with angel wings and a halo

You was always quick to pick a pocket you′re the only one in heaven

Probably slick enough to pull off stealing God′s wallet

In life the Lord ain't really deal you a fair one

I watched you bury your baby boy, your daughter and your grandson

You lived one hell of a life from being highly decorated

To being homeless sleeping in the park with your pregnant wife

If I acted up in the restaurant I knew I was being brave

Cause you′d take me to the bathroom and spank me till I knew how to behave

Taught me prayers at night and you'd tell me Bible stories

Taught me history, Crazy Horse and his tribal glories

How many times as a kid I seen you handcuffed by the cops?

You taught us black music, Sam Cooke, The Drifters, The Four Tops

Taught me about boxing, Ray Leonard and Larry Holmes

Around the same time you left my mother for Debbie Jones

I told the world your true story and after the record got made

Uncommon Valor, some said I dropped the verse of the decade

Everywhere you went you would tell the world about your son Rugged Man

You was so proud of me, daddy, you was my number one fan

You was always bragging about me to no purpose

On your deathbed you′d play my Mayweather interview for the nurses

Losing you, daddy, it hurt more than any physical pain

You was too young when the cancer went from your throat and into your brain

You was my teacher, my idol, I worshipped you, you was the best, daddy

You lived a tough life, now get some rest, daddy

I love you daddy

I can see your halo, halo, halo

I can see your halo, halo, ha ha ha ha

Halo, halo, halo

I can see your halo, halo

Halo

I can see your halo, halo, ha ha ha ha

Halo, halo, halo

I can see your halo, halo
