Verse One:
2
Up early in the morning dressed in black
3
Don't ask why? 'Cause I'm down in a suit and tie
4
They killed a homie that I went to school with(Damn!)
5
I tell ya life ain't shit to fool with
6
I still hear the screams of his mother
7
While my nigga laid dead in the gutter(Shit!)
8
And it's getting to my temple
9
Why is that the only time black folks get to ride in a limo?
10
It makes me so mad I want to get my sawed-in
11
And have some bodies hauled in
12
But no, I pay my respects and I'm through(whaddup Cube?)
13
Hug my crew, and maybe shed a tear or two
14
And I wanna get blitz
15
Grab my 40 ounce and then I reminisce
16
About a brother who had to be the one and only
17
So I dedicate this to my dead homiez...
18
Verse Two:
19
Another homie got murdered on a shakedown{three gun shots}
20
And his mother is at the funeral, havin' a nervous breakdown
21
Two shots hit him in the face when they blasted{two gun shots}
22
A framed picture and a closed casket
23
A single file line about 50 cars long
24
All drivin' slow with they lights on
25
He got a lot of flowers and a big wreath
26
What good is that when you're six feet deep?
27
I look at that shit and gotta think to myself
28
And thank God for my health
29
'Cause nobody really ever know
30
When it's gonna be they family on the front row
31
So I take everything slow, go with the flow
32
And shut my motherfuckin' mouth if I don't know(Word!)
33
'Cause that's what Pops told me
34
But I wish he could have said it...to my dead homiez
35
Verse Three:
36
I remember we painted our names on the wall for fun
37
Now it's "Rest in Peace" after every one
38
Except me, but I ain't the one to front
39
Seems like I'm viewin' a body after every month
40
Plus, I knew him when he was yea big
41
Pour beer on the curb before I take a swig
42
But somethin' ain't right
43
When it's a tragedy, that's the only time that the family's tight
44
Lovin' each other in a caring mood
45
There's lots of people and lots of food
46
They say "Be Strong" and you're tryin'
47
But how strong can you be when you see your Pops cryin'?
48
So that's why Ice Cube's dressed up
49
Because the city is so fuckin' messed up
50
And everybody is so phony
51
Take a little time...to think about your dead homiez.
