To my son, 
You will always be my child, I miss you, and I’ll always love you till eternity, may the good lord keep you in his mansion, be good my son. I wish that you were here with us, but God need you more than us at this time, and we need you because we’re family. I will always remember you in my prayers each day. I have your pictures on my phone, and I look at them every day. Your kids are beautiful, and I remember how you use to go swimming with them, your kids look just like you. Peace my son, you made it. Everyone misses you, take care and God bless, AMEN.

Martin John Prather,
Self-titled Martin Osiris Prather. Martin will always be remembered as a force to be reckoned with, a lyricist, funny man, brother, son, father of 4, protector, and most importantly a God-fearing man. 
Martin is not perfect as none of us are, he stayed true to himself, he never backed down from anyone and will tell you like it is. Martin is that sibling who reaches out to see how we’re doing, give words of encouragement, and is always willing to help. Martin preferred to be in his own space, listening to and creating his own music.  

As his sister, the characteristic I love the most about Martin was how much he loves and protects his loved ones. He may have laid hands us, lol, but he didn’t let anyone disrespect us and get away with it. His laugh is contagious, and his resiliency is commendable. Martin has never let anything or anyone hold him down, he always bounced back, overcame his demons, and found an inner peace no one could take from him.

To his children, you didn’t get a chance to know him, but I know if you had, he would have had a lot of knowledge and wisdom to share. He loved you all very much even though you were not in his presence. We love you Martin, and will always keep your memory alive, and be there for your children in any way we can.
You’re loving sister,
Lena “little head” Billingsley
 
 
Words from Martin…
If you want good fruit, you must make the tree good. If your tree is not good, then it will have bad fruit. A tree is known by the kind of fruit it produces. You snakes! You are evil people! How can you say anything good? The mouth speaks of the things that are in the heart.
Today I stand up for myself cause I'm worth it from now on I'm number 1, and that's how it’s gone be and Father good morning and all my Godly people good morning.

Now is the time you weed your garden and cut your grass cause the snakes are lurking.
God these eyes see these ears hear I'm aware and know now I give them just enough rope to hang themselves.

I been through a lot, seen some things that was crazy and have my own issues, but I would never put my cross on another person’s back of what I have no control over. I put it in God’s hands, and now what I would like to say is God bless you and amen.

Father I ask you for eyes that see and ears that hear and you truly blessed me with that and know that I'm able to see I know I must act accordingly and Yahweh thank you again amen.

Father, you never let me down even when everybody else seemed to throw shade even when nobody was there and even when I sinned myself, I just want to take this time to say thank you and I love you.

I love praising God and exercising my 3rd eye and control over my mind and body and I would like to give thanks to the Almighty.
Satan I know you’re working, and I know you’re working on me I mean that's what you do. I know I study you too, and I have a helper by the name of Yashua who have my back so bring it on and watch my father put you in your place, and in the meantime between time get behind me lucifer.

Father I wanna thank you for giving me strength for giving me understanding and for teaching me patience thank you father and amen.

Warning for all you snakes I got rat traps.
In the last days people will turn away from their friends. They are people whose thinking has been confused. People who are evil and cheat other people will go from bad to worse. They will fool others, but they will also be fooling themselves.

The sign of an intelligent man is the man who can recognize his own faults and adjust them and see the worth of others and aid them into discovering themselves.

A man studies people as well as books, because he knows through bitter experience that things aren't always as they appear to be.
Lord please put your lamp on my feet and your light on my path way.

Today I've learned a lesson about treating people how I want to be treated I guess its true you get what you dish out so let me keep on with the good energy god bless you.
God Giveth and God taketh away.
I'm walking that straight and narrow path it ain't easy Lord knows it ain't easy but me I don't give in I can't cause he won't allow me so here I stand straight up and down on it
I wanna say a prayer for those people who hurt others I pray that you see when you do others wrong, I pray that you see your doing God’s children wrong and its gonna be consequences for that amen.
In the name of the I am, I lower my head asking for forgiveness and thanking you for having my back even though I fall 7 times.
