    February lyrics:
    It's February, it's much different from the past year
    That was the worst time, the opposite of cashmere
    And you know when life kicks you all in your ass rear
    When you down to your last blunt
    While you downing your last beer
    Catching your close friends in every lie
    Had you wiping your hands clean 'til they were sanitary dry
    Then you noticed the snow was standing very high
    Because yesterday it fell from the January sky
    Now it's February and the world feels a lot colder
    You and your girl parted ways so you can not hold her
    She said she wanted to get married back in October
    Probably why in the month of May is when you got sober
    But in February you felt the teardrops slide
    Down your face when your faith began to lopside
    This around the same time my nigga pops died
    Dress shoes, suit, the tie up at the top's tied
    Look at all the drama it brung
    This time of year when I was young, snowflakes was on my tongue
    We played freeze tag or had a snowball fight
    'til the curb on the streetlight would grow all bright
    Couldn't ride our bicycles, slippery sidewalks
    Icicles cold as a deli sandwich with the sliced pickles
    That's when advice trickles down from generation
    Like counting all your friends on one hand
    Or if you don't stand for anything, you'll fall for everything
    Because you wasn't smart, it plays a part in why your heart holds a heavy sting
    Oh February, February
    You took a friend from me who wasn't just some celeb you buried
    He inspired us all musically
    You came around and changed things, I want it how it used to be

    This is one of the more passionate songs Elzhi has made and one of the better Hip-Hop eulogies, on the same level as Puff Daddy's "Missing You" and Sadistik's "Micheal." This track, "February," was of course dedicated to J Dilla and I know there's been an abundance of tributes to J Dillla (all of which suck terribly similar to all the Nujabes tributes). But, finally, a track that does justice for J. Dilla and from who else, but his teammate in Slum Village...Elzhi! And I never been much of a fan of producer, 14KT, but this instrumental really does help to capture the emotional melancholy of the month that Dilla died, February.
