Georgia rapper unveiled his latest single in dedication to Lul Pab. “Long Live Pabb” showcases Quando Rondo’s vulnerability even further as he reflects on the passing of his friend. However, the song also looks at the dangers that follow rappers, especially those with ties to the streets. He expresses remorse for not riding in bulletproof vehicles while also reflecting on what would’ve gone differently.
“Long Live Pabb” is a direct response to the August 2022 shooting that left his associate dead. Rumors initially surfaced surrounding a shooting in Los Angeles that involved Rondo. At the time, rumors suggested that he was injured. However, his team later clarified that he left the scene unscathed.
“Quando was involved in a shooting yesterday evening [Friday] which resulted in the untimely death of another’s young man’s life; he himself didn’t sustain any injuries during the shooting and is safe,” a statement from Quando’s team read.
However, police said that Quando Rondo was the initial target of the shooting.
Despite the attempt on his life, Quando Rondo continued to pump out a significant amount of music. He teamed up with NBA Youngboy for their joint project, 3860, along with dishing out singles like “Cream Soda” and “War Baby.” His last solo project, Still Taking Risks, dropped in 2021.

[Intro]
No, I ain’t got shit goin’ on (Uh-uh)
I’m just, I’m just in New York, I need a fat (Yo, this gotta be Lemy)
Uh-uh-uh
Rollin’ doja and shit like that
(Cxb, know he go crazy)
[Pre-Chorus]
Only if you speak my lingo you will understand me (Uh-uh)
I wanna hit a lick like bingo, least that’s how I planned it (Uh-uh)
Life a gamble, no casino, Pablo left me damaged (Yeah)
Goin’ down if a nigga damage
[Chorus]
Too many Perkies in my body, on another planet (Oh, uh)
They wanna murk the only artist come from out Savannah (Uh)
I think that I might throw the towel in on my bandana (Clatt)
I think somebody out Crenshaw ran down and hit my man up
How I’m gon’ give my life to Allah? This a dirty Fanta
I wish I bulletproofed that Tahoe, jump out with that hammer
That hurt my heart, I watched my partner die right by a gas pump
Look to the sky, a shootin’ star, bet that I’m the last onе
[Verse]
One thing for sure. I’d ride or diе, I know that all my niggas is
The only reason that I screamed out, “No,” I seen my nigga dead
They laughed at me and made a joke, but never seen a nigga bled
I gotta roll me up some dope ’cause I can’t get this out my head
That’s all I see when I get sleep, so I don’t barely go to bed
I damn near think my bladder pink ’cause I keep sippin’ on this drink
Dance about it, how you leave me out like this? I take the blame
Went to the county, I make sure I send you hundreds everyday
I swear to God, I hate the fame, I just wish that I could change
I’m goin’ hard, lock in the pain, I think it’s time to quit the game
It’s like I’m walkin’ through the rain, I told Lil Dee to keep your chain
Whole hundred shots get filled with flame, I hear they speakin’ on your name
[Pre-Chorus]
Only if you speak my lingo you will understand me (Uh-uh)
I wanna hit a lick like bingo, least that’s how I planned it (Uh-uh)
Life a gamble, no casino, Pablo left me damaged (Yeah)
Goin’ down if a nigga damage
[Chorus]
Too many Perkies in my body, on another planet (Oh, uh)
They wanna murk the only artist come from out Savannah (Uh)
I think that I might throw the towel in on my bandana (Clatt)
I think somebody out Crenshaw ran down and hit my man up
How I’m gon’ give my life to Allah? This a dirty Fanta
I wish I bulletproofed that Tahoe, jump out with that hammer
That hurt my heart, I watched my partner die right by a gas pump
Look to the sky, a shootin’ star, bet that I’m the last one
