Lookin out my window hypnotized by the rain
In a trance reminicing bout the soldiers slain
Fighting wars in the brain trying to maintain
Hoping mama wonand't have to feel the pain
Looking at a closed casket or a picture frame
Even shorties that you banged wonand't forget your name
Still feel strange how times do change
We doing our thing and in our minds you remain
As I uncap a 5th of Henny for my soldiers thatand's a memory
Thinking and'bout the fun times we had together
Blazinand' and'till the sunshine
Drinkinand' the cheap wine
I know I never find a ? of the same kind
But at the same time, Iand'm constantly writinand' eulogies
For my big homey locs and my loco gand's
Since and'73 it seems death followed me to my man ?Tyshan Wells?
Rest in Peace
Chorus
Oh why oh why oh why
Itand's always the good ones that have to die
Oh why oh why oh why
Bob Marley die, ?Jacob Miller? die
(repeat)
Another day another burial
Got you wondering and'bout the day when he bury you
Tear drops stain the wallyand's that you rockinand'
On the block candles burn guns popinand'
I just came from the cemetery where my dog was buried
Drop some buds in the earth to grow in they memory
Thinkinand' and'bout the fun times we had as fam
Remembering the beef we got into but never ran
I seen a kid get ate up by his own man one time
Hid behind a car now look and duck and bust a ?
On some Harlem Nights script
But this some real life shit
Heard his scull split when you seen the slug hit
I watched the vultures swarminand'
Prayinand' on his garments
They stay robbinand' dead men cuz they donand't give and'em problems
Heard the good die young be it by God or gun
Paint my mural on the wall sayinand' my job was done
I shed tears when I hear news from my peers
That my nigga Shawn Crady was no longer here
Had me mad at my girl ready to take it to the world
Drinkinand' liquor and'till Iand'm damn near and'bout to and'url
Got a jewel from my dog locked up in jail
Told me son is in the essence resting
All is well
While you still here: accomplish your deads
Cuz you never know when itand's your time to leave
Repeat chorus several times
