Papoose Obituary 2020

2020 is officially in the past. It was a long, strenuous year that was filled with a lot of grim news. The coronavirus pandemic continues to claim lives by the thousands across the world daily but there were also plenty of losses among some of the most respected and prominent figures in pop culture, music, sports, and beyond.

As artists drop off their own annual wrap-up tracks, Papoose returned with “Obituary 2020.” Instead of looking back on the biggest viral moments, he paid homage to all those that died this year from Kobe Bryant, Pop Smoke, Sean Connery, George Floyd, and more. Though MF DOOM didn’t necessarily get a shout out in the song, Pap did include some footage of the masked rapper at the beginning of the video.

Lyrics

(Hook 2x)
Take these bars and play’em in the cemetary
That was a frightening year kinda scary
Happy New Year I hope your Christmas was merry
This is the 2020 Obituary

(Verse 1)
Kobe Bryant
All time legend
Watchin’ him play basketball was a blessing
The son of NBA player Joe Bryant
Carried the name he had the game to a science
Born in Philly August 23rd, 78
In high school he was the best in the United States
5 time champion all time scorer a father
18 time all star The Black Mamba
The cause of his death
Helicopter crash
He died with his daughter Gianna how sad

(Verse 2)
Chadwick Boseman
Amazing actor
Had played in historical roles he was a master
Born November 29th, 76
In South Carolina on the road to get rich
Wrote his first play in high school soon after
Graduated fron Howard University with his bachelors
Image Award deserved truly
The first black actor to headline an MCU movie
Wakanda Forever the Black Panther
The cause of his death
He died from cancer

(Hook)
Take these bars and play’em in the cemetary
That was a frightening year kinda scary
Happy New Year I hope your Christmas was merry
This is the 2020 Obituary

(Verse 3)
Pop Smoke
Hip-Hop artist
19 songs on his album they all charted
Born July 20th, 1999
He accomplished so much in a short time
From Canarsie, Brooklyn top of the Billboard
The voice of the youth he impacted the world
The cause of his death victim of a home invasion
Shot 2 times when you winnin’ they start hatin’

(Verse 4)
Alex Trebek
The host of Jeopardy
Won 7 Emmy Awards he built a legacy
Born July 22nd, 1940
In Ontario, Canada riveted story
First job he was a bail boy at a hotel
Graduated got a college degree he excelled
Hosted Jeopardy 37 years it seemed longer
Mentioned me and my wife on his show it was an honor
The cause of his death
Pancreatic cancer
Why?
Only God knows the answer

(Hook)
Take these bars and play’em in the cemetary
That was a frightening year kinda scary
Happy New Year I hope your Christmas was merry
This is the 2020 Obituary

(Verse 5)
Betty Wright
Songwriter, singer
Phenomenal voice of soul she was the leader
Born December 21st in 53
Who would’ve known that she would make history
Made hits like “Tonight Is the Night”, “Clean Up Woman”
Grammy award winning artist she was cunning
Her music was a soundtrack of our lives
When I met her she said she was a fan I was surprised
The cause of her death
Cancer
Condolences to her family I’m sendin’ my prayers up

(Verse 6)
Fred the Godson
Nice true indeed
BX finest the last of a dying breed
Born February 22nd in 85
One of them artists who kept hip-hop alive
The cause of his death
COVID-19
Condolences to his family we lost a king
