1
mic check one two
2
you know when you lose somebody
3
somebody that's close to you
4
somebody that's probably not even that close to you
5
you might have just knew him
6
it's hard to put it into words you know
7
it's hard to say what you feel
8
it's hard to say what you feel....
9
I guess all wounds heal over time
10
you know...but uh
11
all i can do now is reminisce
12
(Verse One)
13
Look at my homeboy lying there dead in the street
14
His eyes wide open and it's fucking with me
15
I can't believe this shit it really seems unreal
16
My streetwise ass dog ended up getting killed
17
We used to laugh but now this shit ain't funny at all
18
Thinking about when my dog first started to ball
19
Telling me I was blessed use my gift
20
But it was hard to stay away from that gangsta shit (so hard)
21
Young eyes attract glitter like glue
22
Running with a crew doing everything they do
23
Smoked out drinking mad dog and thunderbird
24
My momma screaming but I swear I never heard a word
25
My homeboy's momma cool but she smoke crack
26
Now getting high is how she bring her son back
27
Imagine that so many kids are living this
28
One day my son will lose someone and reminisce
29
I hope it's me when I'm a hundred and three
30
Your homeboy getting killed that's some bad shit to see
31
I hope you agree and make it better for the young ones
32
Cause these momma's can't take no more dead sons
33
Chorus
34
Can't you see the way we live
35
The world wouldn't spin without gangsta shit
36
I don't know what you've been told
37
But baby somebody told me
38
(Only the strong will survive)
39
If I die press play to bring me back to life
40
(Only the strong will survive)
41
Hey yo if I die press play to bring me back to life
42
(Verse Two)
43
Riding around in a hoop smoked out behind tent
44
Serving all day hitting corners getting bent
45
Time went by quick when we was kicking it
46
I wish that there was a way I could have predicted this
47
Somehow thought the shit but I can't blame myself
48
I just wish that death would have took somebody else
49
That niggas' shorty looks just like he did
50
So in a sense I guess my homeboy will live again
51
In the eyes of his seed forever dad
52
No one to call on when momma is doing bad
53
Mad at the world for the pain he feels
54
I pray to god that his momma shows him what's real
55
Chorus
56
(Verse Three)
57
Every day I thank god for watching over me
58
If I didn't have rapping I don't know where I would be
59
Trying to move a key strong armed robbery
60
My destiny could have been an early death of me
61
Just to be alive pushing twenty-five
62
I lived to talk about the shit many didn't survive
63
All I ask is that we think about the lives passed away
64
Never to see another sunny day
65
>From rocks in the hand to keys in the van
66
No more being broke waiting on the postman
67
Cost more than the time that you put into it
68
Now you got the cheese why the fuck you still do it
69
Greed a need to speed away your precious time
70
Playa use your mind find yourself another grind
71
If not for yourself... for the kids sake
72
Cause they'll all be where were all at today
73
Chorus
74
Man oh man
75
It's wild what these streets are doing to us
76
You know what I'm saying?
77
I was thinking I was telling my homie
78
If I were to name all the people that I knew
79
That was not here with us no more
80
It would take a whole album
81
You know what I'm saying?
82
So i want to say rest in peace to my homeboy pinkhouse
83
Rest in peace to my homeboy dice
84
Who showed me much love in the short time i knew him
85
Rest in peace to my homeboy Nino
86
Much love from the hood we still ride with ya
