Lyrics

Hello to all those in grief and anger today, to the family and friends of Laati Manila

Laati was a brave, kind, loving, and smart man that excelled in everything he did

I remember the day I met him like it was just yesterday, it was 2019, we were both year nine

And we had science

I turned around to introduce myself but called him a retard instead

I then asked for his name and he said Jiggy

I then said that was the gayest name I've ever heard

When everyone called him by his alter ego, I called him by his birth name

One of my fondest memories with him is when this person was being racist to a friend of

Ours so we took him into an alleyway and he beat the living shit out of him

I took his, sorry, I took his mother and smashed it on the ground and then took his doughnuts

And ate them

Another memory is when we were at our year ten formal, I come back, I'm sorry, I came back from the

Bathroom and there was food on the table, he gave me a piece of chicken and it was drier

Than the Sahara Desert

Fuck this is dry, I said, and I think that was the day he considered me a fellow nigga

Later that night we took, later that night we took, I'm sorry, later that night we took

Photos pretending to be the Mafia

My final memory with Laati was on the tragic day of the 15th of August 2022, we had English

that morning and started talking about how a friend said he gave way at a give way sign

But managed to end up getting hit

A couple hours later he went for a drive with that friend and that's when this tragic event

Occurred

We were all traumatised when we heard the news and rushed over to see if he was okay

When I got there a memory of a car almost falling on one of our friends came back to

Me

Laati, Memeite and I quickly jumped in without a thought to hold the car up so he could get

Out

I felt immense regret as if I were, I felt, I felt, I felt immense regret as if I was there, I could, I could

Have helped

The point I'm trying to get at is that he was an amazing person who was selfless and

Put his life in danger to protect and save others

If he had survived that day he would end up doing what he wanted most, to own a dildo store

He also wanted to be an entrepreneur

He was loved by his brothers and sisters, cousins and grandparents, aunties and uncles

Friends and most importantly his parents

I'm sorry for your loss but I hope you can see past the death and be happy for all the

Joy he brought others


Thank you
