R.I.P Songtext
von Sharrie Williams

Every time I look around
Seems somebody else has gone home
Every time I look around
Seems somebody else has split the scene

In my heart I hold you close
All due respect, rest in peace

Every time I look around
Seems like somebody else has gone on to meet the Lord
Every time I look around
Seems somebody has split the scene, oh yeah
You know they′re our good friends
All due respect, rest in peace


Money left the water
With the taste of the blues
James Brown put the funk, y'all
In the juke joint room
Cocoa pitched a wang dang doodle
All night long
Ruth was getting down, y′all
A lady till the end

Every time I look around
We better be prepared
'Cause we all gotta leave the scene
All due respect, honey, y'all, rest in peace
Come on now, play the blues for ′em
′Cause they paved the way for us

Robin Rogers worked so hard
Worked her fingers to the bone
She gave it all she had
But she just couldn't carry on
My girl fought a good fight
And she finished her task
Now she′s in heaven
Singing with the best

Oh, every time I look around
Seems somebody else has gone to meet the Lord
Oh, I hate to let you go
All due respect, rest in peace


Rest in peace (Rest in peace)
Rest in peace (Rest in peace)
You paved the way (Rest in peace)
Just for me, yeah (Rest in peace)
Oh, rest in peace (Rest in peace)
I know you got a blues heaven
Waiting up there for me (Rest in peace)
Well, I hate to let you go
All due respect, rest in peace
Rest in peace
