For many Memphis natives and Hip-Hop fans around the world, Thursday was a day of mourning for Young Dolph, who was tragically shot and killed in his hometown last month on November 17. The late rapper was a pillar in his community, and to honour his legacy, there was a street renaming and a live-streamed celebration of life event this week.
Today, Gucci Mane, one of Young Dolph’s close collaborators, released his holiday-themed So Icy Christmas album, and for the final song on the 17-track record, Gucci pays tribute to his fallen friend.
Throughout “Long Live Dolph,” Gucci Mane acknowledges Young Dolph’s accomplishments as an independent artist and the founder of Paper Route Empire, and he also offers some thought-provoking commentary on violence and how popular culture handles death altogether.

Dolph
[Verse]
R.I.P. to Flippa (Flippa), a money-gettin’ nigga (My nigga)
Had to blaze one up for Dolph (For Dolph), don’t think they felt ya like I feel him (I feel him)
Same niggas wanna be ya be the ones that come to kill ya (Damn)
Now don’t that sound familiar? (Damn), your name, they gon’ remember (Yeah)
Can’t be quiet and go silent, life violent, we still outside
Hurt me inside, I can’t hide it, it’s hard to hide
Bein’ a trap rapper, it’s a miracle if you survive (Yeah)
Every day, I pray and thank the Lord that I’m still alive (The Lord)
When it comes to legends, Dolph forever in my top five (Dolph)
Real life street nigga, never had to tell lies (No)
Remember used to rap about weed, he didn’t sell pies
Freshest young nigga on the scene, had his own style (Fresh)
Don’t take your life for granted, could be gone in seconds (Pyoom)
R.I.P. to Dolph, long, long live the legend (Long)
From Memphis to the 6 (6), they felt you in the bricks (Bricks)
The day you died, it broke my heart, a day I won’t forget (Damn)
One thing you know, you’re missed (Missed), one thing you know, we pissed (Rrr)
It’s Paper Route forever, you know Wop gon’ represent (Wop)
You know Glock gon’ represent (Glock), lil’ Tre Tre gon’ represent (Tre Tre)
I done shed so many tears, I had to hit the mic and vent (Vent)
I pull up, it’s an event, we pull up, this how it went (Skrrt)
Threw so much money in Magic, bitches say we paid they rent (Well, damn)
Million-dollar cars, no tint (Tint), we scratched off like, “Where they went?” (Skrrt)
Know your legacy gon’ live on, know exactly what you meant (You meant)
When it comes to independent, man, you are the president (The prezi)
For puttin’ on your relatives, showin’ love, wasn’t hesitant (Nah)
Tryna find the positive (‘Tive), but it’s only negative (‘Tive)
So much hate and envy out here, I don’t got two fucks to give (No fucks to give)
So this is how it is, gotta die to get your props? (Huh?)
Never get your flowers while you’re here, and damn, that says a lot (A lot)
All this senseless violence that I’m seein’, I swear it needs to stop (Stop)
Humans killing other human beings almost ’round the clock (Hah)
In a circular, circlin’ the block (Block)
Drop the top, this time for Dolph (For Dolph)
Every time you see Guwop this summer, you gon’ see it off (Off)
Then be careful and stay dangerous every time I leave the house (Stay dangerous)
The odds stacked against you in the hood, we tryna make it out (Go)
Backseat of my Rolls-Royce Phantom playin’ Paper Route (Route)
Like since Dolph died, that’s all I’m bumpin’, I can’t take it out (No)
Never leave the house without, never do stunt moves for clout (No)
If you all about your paper route, then roll one up for Dolph
Chopper on my couch (Grraow), P’s all ’round my house (P’s)
Young nigga, I be fresh as fuck, remindin’ you of Dolph (Remindin’ you of Dolph)
That bitch from the South (South), my name in her mouth (It’s Gucci)
This bitch here ’bout her paper routes, her favorite rapper Dolph (It’s Dolph)
[Outro]
Miss you, homie
The whole world miss you
I lost a friend, I lost a homie
The world lost a friend
Lost a father
And a son
Damn
