lyrics
‘Papa Joe’
We love you Papa Joe
Thank you, for your life
They receive you on the other side
Slowly sink into the dream
Lifted up on Angels wings
In two worlds you live between
OH / Whistle
We love you Papa Joe
Thank you for your life
In our hearts your spirit is alive
Your children feel the love you gave
So too, their children feel the same
the cycle it remains
OH
A Son, a Father, friend, a Brother, Uncle, Papa, flip a stone
No matter where you go somebody knows about the boxer Joe
You opened up your home to those who didn’t have one to call their own
and did your best to make sure everyone was fed and out the cold
And anyone who had the opportunity to cross your path
would say the same about your giving heart and how you made them laugh.
Inventor of Labonics, the evidence is tangible
Like anything you want at anytime means interagical
From fighting in the ring to fighting for your life you fought the same,
no picture frame or memory could reflect all the change you made.
Your friends and family we gather in your name, in this space
to honor and give thanks remembering the Love that we exchanged -
With YOU————
