Ain’t no way you left us like this cuz. Emotions are high and hurt is an understatement. Just know I remember Jizzle from them late nights to early mornings. The memories lord, I thank you for them. This one I just can’t shake. We love you black burner. You left some bleeding hearts with this one.”
