Congratulations

Its always sad when you lose somebody you love

Especially when that somebody is somebody that poured into your life

That you learned a lot from, believe us. Christian, we miss 'em but why mourn

Let's go

Though we mourn homie it's a celebration, I pass the casket sayin' congratulations

This is not a funeral it's more like graduation, you passed the gates to a better situation

So roll him out while we wipe our sad eyes, and say goodbye to him for the very last time

You crossed the finish line there is no more condemnation,

You with the father now congratulations

You with the father now congratulations

Though we mourn homie it's a celebration,

Smiles in our hearts though there's tears on our faces. Joy in our souls,

Yeah we know he took you home, and we still grieve 'cause we hate to see you gone

I guess it's human nature, we hate to say goodbye

Even though he's in a better situation in the sky

No disease in his body, no more fear in his mind

God wiped away the pain and the tears from his eyes

This is the true sentence, but I would give my right arm

Just to walk in your shoes for two minutes

With my eyes closed shut, I'm picturing you grinnin'

Smiling 'cause you're happy your body is through sinnin'

No more temptations, no more fallin', no more fighting the flesh you ain't brawlin'

You can rest now from the deeds of your calling

And stroll down the streets of gold, my boy's ballin'

Though we mourn homie it's a celebration, I pass the casket sayin' congratulations

Uh, congratulations on your new gown,

The white robe you received and your new crown

I bet youre ruling over much in your new town

I sit and wonder like, I wonder what he do now?

'Cause on the Earth you went hard for the gospel

You stumbled a few times but you didn't let it stop you

You got hit with a few darts, but you didn't let it drop you

You faced a few disappointments, but you didn't let it rock you

Now God's got you, so I don't even gotta worry

My eyes blurry from tears, I'm still feelin' merry

'Cause it's apparent while I'm walking through this cemetery

An empty shell is the object that we finna bury

My dude is chillin' at the table with David and Abel and folks we only heard about in fables

This is why we label, we all look forward to being absent in the body

And being present in the savior

I know it's hard when you come to the spot where the box holds the body of your son,

Your husband or your wife, friend, father, or your mom

You kiss 'em on the head and their body don't be spun

I understand because I've been through that hurt too,

But leaning on the text makes it better to work through

You're looking at a body staring up at the church roof,

But then it dawns on you, this is only an Earth suit

So one love to the people that we've lost

Born again believers who were leanin' on the cross

We hate to see you leave us so we keep you in our thoughts

It's best you be with Jesus who redeemed you from your faults

So I don't worry 'bout you I will see you in heaven

They keep me steady while they tell me what I'm seeking is petty

We'll meet again in the sky, once these people are ready

Until then Imma rejoice and release the confetti
