"Gone To The Moon"

In this early Future classic, Nayvadius pays tribute to African American astronaut Ronald McNair, who was tragically killed when the space shuttle Challenger exploded shortly after takeoff in 1984. Just like McNair, Future is one of the most well respected and beloved African Americans of all time, and Future payed tribute to McNair the best way he knows, by telling the success and ultimate the death of McNair, which mirrors the street life that so many youth get caught up in.

You guys joke but he is sort of referencing Dunbar

We Wear the Mask
BY PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR
We wear the mask that grins and lies,
It hides our cheeks and shades our eyes,—
This debt we pay to human guile;
With torn and bleeding hearts we smile,
And mouth with myriad subtleties.

Why should the world be over-wise,
In counting all our tears and sighs?
Nay, let them only see us, while
We wear the mask.

We smile, but, O great Christ, our cries
To thee from tortured souls arise.
We sing, but oh the clay is vile
Beneath our feet, and long the mile;
But let the world dream otherwise,
We wear the mask!
