Tombstone (song)

"Tombstone" is a song by American rapper Rod Wave, released on March 23, 2021 as the second single from his third studio album SoulFly (2021).

[5] In the chorus, Rod Wave sings about "'lames' that constantly keep his name in their mouths" and his wish to be remembered as one of the "realest" rappers after his death: "And fuck these niggas 'cause they lame / Since they love saying my name / Make sure you write the truest in the motherfucking game / On my tombstone when they bury me / By the river, they will carry me / Finally, I'll be resting in peace".

It finds Rod Wave alone on a snowy mountain sing-rapping, switching to scenes of a child resembling a younger version of himself, who has a "tumultuous home life" while "still facing systemic issues".

[5][7] The video ends with the kid's father, in a white tunic, laying him down to rest at a riverside, while CGI vines encircle him.

[5] Rod Wave performed the song for The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, with a trio of singers and a pianist while on the porch alongside a body of water.
