Generate meaning
1
[Verse 1: Quan]
2
Can we please have a moment of silence?
3
That's for my niggaz doin' years in confinement
4
And for my soldiers who passed over, no longer living
5
That couldn't run whenever the reaper came to get 'em
6
Can we please pour out some liquor?
7
Symobolizin', let's take in time to consider that
8
Though our thugs ain't here, the love is here
9
And we gon' rep 'til slugs kill us here
10
This for my dawgs stuck in the struggle tryin' to gain
11
Smokin' trauma, sniffin' Ra while sellin' cocaine
12
Trapped in the game, not knowin' how to stop and get by
13
To live it alive, so instead they live it to die
14
Can we please have a moment of peace?
15
For every G that fell for his flag in the streets
16
Bloodin' and thuggin', folkin' and lokin'
17
Crypin' and creepin', Latin and kingin'
18
Or just for poor righteous teachin'
19
[Chorus: Quan sings]
20
As day comes and night falls
21
For the rest of our life we'll miss y'all
22
And even though life must go on, we'll still mourn
23
While wishin' y'all were home
24
[Verse 2: Nas]
25
Yeah, and can we have another moment of silence?
26
For brothers who died from black-on-black violence
27
From here to the Dark Continent were rebels sell diamonds
28
To clients all over the world, got little Black girls dyin'
29
And can we please pour some more liquors?
30
For Will, Bokeem, Bar, Pappy -- my niggaz
31
Here's another Warrior Song from Nasty and Quan
32
It's to him I pass the baton to carry this on
33
Street's Disciple, salute to those who's gone with bullets
34
And I promise through rhymin' Quan gon' rep his life to the fullest
35
And can we please have a moment of truth?
36
For soldiers and troops away with helmets and boots
37
And families back home who pray they make it home safe
38
Hopin' that they don't get hit with a stray or missiles
39
This is just a moment to let you all know that we miss you
40
Mommy I'm still here, wishin' I was there with you
41
Let's take a moment
42
[Chorus:]
43
[Verse 3: Quan]
44
And can we please have a moment to mourn?
45
For Pac, Biggie and Pun 'cause through us they live on
46
Jam Master Jay, Freaky Ty and Aaliyah
47
Big L and Left Eye, when we die we hope to see ya
48
Can we please have a moment for children?
49
Who got raped or murdered, or trapped in the system
50
Who never knew their father, never learned to dream
51
But was guided by drug dealers, killers and crack fiends
52
For single mothers that's forced to play mom and dad
53
Bustin' her ass to give her kids shit she never had
54
For my niggaz in the pen hopin' rhymes'll get 'em signed
55
So when released, they can say bye to a life of crime
56
For every mother that held a son in the street bleedin'
57
Cryin' a song of sorrow to dark and deep for speakin'
58
Just a moment outside the day to day struggle
59
To let the ones we really care about know that we love 'em
60
[Chorus:]
