Esco was one of the first mc's i listened to which got me interested in listening to grime.. He definately had raw talent and was one of my favourite mc's.. Im from east london eswel and i still sing some of his lyrics now and then in my head while im training or at work to get by as some of his lyrics are bare hype e,g esco practice hours.. He sounded like a true warrior and i hope he is now at a better place.. Respect

Good Night Gavin

Goodnight Gavin, it's time to sleep
Memories of you we will always keep
When the final time comes to say goodbye
There will be noone who will have a dry eye
I miss you simply being alive and well
You're missing now folks can really tell
I hope gods has taken you under his wing
The angels will spread the love they bring
Your free from pain and are safe and sound
A father, son and brother in you they found
God Bless your soul, may you rest in peace
The tension and stress from your body is released

Goodnight Dear Cousin...Rest In Peace..

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Goodnight Angel Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
There is a home not made by hands Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
Beyond its golden door Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
Awaits the one who’s now away Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
Not lost just gone before Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
And in that home not made by hands Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
The Master will prepare Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
A place for us, and when he calls Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
We’ll meet our loved ones there Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ

To the living, I am gone
To the sorrowful, I will never return
To the angry, I was cheated
But to the happy, I am at peace
And to the faithful, I have never left
I cannot speak, but I can listen
I cannot be seen, but I can be heard
So as you stand upon a shore gazing at a beautiful sea
As you look upon a flower and admire it's simplicity
Remember Me…
Remember me in your heart
Your thoughts, and your memories
Of the times we loved
The times we cried
The times we fought
The times we laughed
For if you always think of me
I will never have gone…

Letter From Heaven.
When tomorrow starts without me,
and I'm not there to see;
If the sun should rise and find your eyes,
all filled with tears for me;
I wish so much you wouldn't cry,
the way you did today,
while thinking of the many things,
we didn't get to say.

I know how much you love me,
as much as I love you,
and each time that you think of me,
I know you'll miss me too;
But when tomorrow starts without me,
please try to understand,
that an Angel came and called my name,
and took me by the hand,
and said my place was ready,
in heaven far above,
and that I'd have to leave behind,
all those I dearly love.

But as I turned to walk away,
a tear fell from my eye,
for all life, I'd always thought,
I didn't want to die.
I had so much to live for,
so much yet to do,
it seemed almost impossible,
that I was leaving you.

I thought of all the yesterdays,
the good ones and the bad,
I thought of all the love we shared,
and all the fun we had.
If I could relive yesterday,
just even for awhile,
I'd say goodbye and kiss you
and maybe see you smile.

But then I fully realized,
that this could never be,
for emptiness and memories,
would take the place of me.
And when I thought of worldly things,
I might miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when I did,
my heart was filled with sorrow.

But when I walked through heaven's gates,
I felt so much at home.
When God looked down and smiled at me,
from His great golden throne,

He said, "This is eternity,
and all I've promised you".
Today for life on earth is past,
but here it starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow,
but today will always last,
and since each day's the same day,
there's no longing for the past.

But you have been so faithful,
so trusting and so true.
Though there were times you did some things,
you knew you shouldn't do.
But you have been forgiven
and now at last you're free.
So won't you take my hand
and share my life with me?

So when tomorrow starts without me,
don't think we're far apart,
for every time you think of me,
I'm right here, in your heart.

to my dearest family.........

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say,

First of all to let you know that I arrived today.

I am writing this from Heaven, where I dwell with God above,

Where there's no more tears of sadness, there is just eternal love.

Please don't be unhappy just because I am out of sight,

Remember that I am with you, every morning, noon, and night.

That day I had to leave you, when my life on earth was through,

God picked me up and hugged me, and said "I welcome you".

It's good to have you back again, you were missed while you were gone,

For your dearest family, they will be here later on.

I need you here so badly, as part of my big plan,

There's so much we have to do, to help the mortal man.

Then God gave me a list of things he wished for me to do,

And most on that list of mine, is to watch and care for you.

And I will be beside you, every day and week and year,

And when you're sad, I am there to wipe away the tear.

And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight,

God and I are closest to you in the middle of the night.

When I think of my life on earth and all those loving years,

Because you're only human, they are bound to bring you some tears.

Please do not be afraid to cry, It does relieve the pain,

Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish I could tell you of all that God has planned,

But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.

But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is over,

I am closer to you now, than I ever was before.

And to my very many friends, trust God knows what's best,

I'm still not far away from you, I'm just beyond the crest.

There are rocky roads ahead of you, and many roads to climb,

But together we can do it, taking one day at a time.

It was always my philosophy , and I'd like it for you too,

That as you give unto the world, so the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody, who's in sorry or in pain,

Then you can say to God at night, "My day was not in vain".

And now I am contented, that my life it was worthwhile,

Knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody, who is down and feeling low,

Just lend a hand to pick him up, and on your way you go.

When you are walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind,

I am walking in your footsteps, only half a step behind.

And when you feel that gentle breeze, of the wind upon your face,

That's me giving you a great big hug, or just a soft embrace.

And when it's time for you to go, from that body to be free,

Remember you are not going, you are coming here to me.

And I will always love you, from that land above,

We'll be in touch soon, PS God sends his love.
