You were gonna take over the world some day
Looking out for all of us along the way
Awe-inspiring, never tiring, so much to say

Big hearted Santa in the neighbourhood
Friends would say, “Mo made sure that we were good”
You made us feel like no one else could

My lil’ Reese, a leader, a giver, so kind
You touched so many on this world you left behind
My gentle giant, so smart, an angel forever
I thank God for every day we spent together

Barbecues, shrimp and grits, you aimed to please
Intelligent, articulate, beyond your years
You know I love you, and I know you love me

My lil’ Reese, a leader, a giver, so kind
You touched so many on this world you left behind
My gentle giant, so smart, an angel forever
I thank God for every day we spent together
