Lyrics:

[Verse 1: Raekwon]April 2nd 1939, the stars is in lineDivine intervention at it''s own intentionBirthed a gift, in this DC kid, he sung heavenlyGood values and all and his father was in the ministryGod fearing man with a mother that''s so beautiful, the angels would serve herWhat''s her name? It''s AlbertaThis little boy quickly became a manFrom blowing in his father''s church, to making his own bandCalled the Moonglows, sensational with his vocalsThat drove the ladies crazy, panties got thrown at his showsBut he was far from happy, he wore a smile just to hide itBehind them doors him and his father constantly colliding[Hook: Cee Lo Green]Marvin, the sound of your voiceSets fire to my soulWhat a glory to beholdMarvin, my heart, my heart still wonders howI just hope you''re happy now[Verse 2: Raekwon]Destined for greatness, counting his blessingsYoung''uns struggling with pressuresThat the fact that his pops was a cross dresserBut he still loved him, you know the bond between his son and fatherThat only pushed him and forced him to sing harderHis main man Harvey Fuqua gassed up his carBelieved his soundAnd took him down to Motown y''allThat''s where it all happenedSuccess in the palm of his handBut unfortunate the fame wasn''t enoughHe wanted more out of lifeTook it further and found himself a wifePretty Anna Gordy, she made his time sit stillShe was the cousin of Barry G, the founder of HitsvillePlease pay attention because the story it gets illShit''s real, trials and tribulations son''s facingYou gotta play the cards you''re dealtAin''t no telling what life dealsDeath will cause you to have night chillsEnough to keep a nigga botheredEspecially when the negatives start coming from your father[Hook: CeeLo Green]Marvin, the sound of your voiceSets fire to my soulWhat a glory to beholdMarvin, my heart, my heart still wonders howI just hope you''re happy now[Verse 3: Raekwon]Money, women and drugs came into playNow wouldn''t you know, there goes another happy home down the drainThat night life had him speeding through hellScarred by the death of Tammy TerellCouldn''t believe it, he spiraled downhillSecluding himself, from the music and the pressHe was sick and really getting depressedTime passed so he bounced back on trackNew and improvedEven got himself a new wife tooEverything is on the up and up, got his act togetherSpiritually he claims, you could see the glow up on this fellaTried to make amends with his fatherBut the hatred is too strong, revolver in his palmThe warning that death was closeHis mother screaming out -''Honey don''t do it!-''One shot to the chest made Marvin lose fluidsApril 1st he died on the spot the scene was so horrificHow a father could kill his own son defines wicked[Hook: CeeLo Green]Marvin, the sound of your voiceSets fire to my soulWhat a glory to beholdMarvin, my heart, my heart still wonders howI just hope you''re happy now[Outro]MarvinMarvinIt''s the sound of the musicMarvinMarvinMarvin
