This is an inspirational yet very sad story.
11-year-old rapper Rayvon Webber aka Ray Da Yungin from Shreveport, Louisiana, has a video that just went viral, and it will kind of have you in your feelings.
The video is a tribute to one of his closest friends that who was only 12 and was shot and killed last month. The song is titled ‘Miss You,’ and Ray talks about the gun violence in Shreveport and how they just want to live.
The song is also kind of a plea for people to put their guns down and says that they have gotten a lot of emails and DMs from victims saying the song helped them.
11-year-old Rayvon Webber — who raps under the alias Ray Da Yungin — released a tribute to all of the friends he’s lost to gun violence and other tragedies earlier in December titled “Miss You.”
“Like, wow, how do I handle this so young/Yeah, how do I know if I’m ‘posed to cry/How do you expect me to just say goodbye,” he ponders on the second verse.
Speaking to KLFY, Webber detailed the gut-wrenching loss of his friend and football teammate 12-year old Xavier Perry. Perry was tragically shot and killed by his stepfather in November during a deadly domestic dispute between the stepfather, Perry’s mother and uncle.
“If people just put the guns down and stop all of this violence, people could do more with what they were already doing now and during the future,” he said. “They’re going to do way better and know what to do.”
It shouldn’t take an 11-year-old kid to do this, but it is definitely good for him.
Kids aren’t allowed to be kids anymore, which is a problem in this society. An 11-year-old should be rapping about sneakers and video games, not all of his dead friends.
