Intro
Celebrate (x4)
(yeah) so we forever celebrate.
Verse One
Time to celebrate the people that we love
and we commemorate, mean everything to us,
so never hesitate to keep em’ in our hearts where they exhilarate
and after they depart, they still invigorate, mind, body and soul
and we carry they energy everywhere that we go,
we so blessed for time they were here,
they soul rests, but at times they appear,
there’s no stress cos’ it's time to revere the life they had,
the good, the bad, the ups, the downs, it’s so profound for real,
we lose em, but it’s part of life’s cycle,
now God got em’ his hands as one of his disciples,
but every memory that come to us is a revival
and even though it’s final, they helping with our survival
and they part of our kinship, so it’s tribal,
and when we see your picture we smile,
reminiscing like Michael and remember the times
and whenever we in trouble’s like you showing us signs
and there never is a moment when you far from our minds,
so we gotta’ raise a glass in celebrating your lives (yo’).
Chorus (x2)
(Time to celebrate)
we do everything to celebrate your journey
and even though we know you left too early,
we always gonna dedicate to your memory
a beautiful and heavenly positive energy,
so we forever celebrate.
Verse Two
The world seems harsh cold when we lose somebody
and we don’t control the outcomes
and we grieve cos’ they can’t be cloned,
but we can’t lose sight of what life is, cos’ life is priceless,
yeah we gonna lose people, but despite this,
we just gotta’ learn to reconcile,
accept the fact that it might take us a while,
accept the fact that it take us some time to break down the barriers,
ask God to carry us, eventually we get into a place that we can find peace,
the legacy, forever we embrace, so we can climb these mountains,
arrive at the peak for the two of us, thankful, tranquil, graceful and gratuitous,
it only takes a special memory to be renewing us
and when we see your picture we smile
and reminisce like Mary and remember the times
and whenever we in trouble’s like you showing us signs
and there never is a moment when you far from our minds,
so we gotta’ make a toast in celebrating your lives.
Chorus
Outro (x2)
Time to celebrate

Big but tight energy from this album that perfectly fit the closed-up vibe of the pandemic and reminded you to call your loved ones. It feels like these important folks in Amir's life each get a bit of their vibe wrapped into the song following. Sable Knight
