[featuring pimp c silkk the shocker]
I want yaand'll to play this at funerals in the hood.
Til all this black on black crime stop.
Some say the blind lead the blind.
But in the ghetto you never know
When itand's gon be yo time.
[sons of funk mo b. dick oand'dell]
Sittin at the ghetto thinkin bout
All my homies passed away (uuunnnggghhh!)
Candy painted cadillacs and triple gold
Thatand's how me and my boys rolled
How could it be?
Somebody took my boy from me
My best friendand's gone
And iand'm so all alone
I really miss my homies
Even though they gone away
I know you in a better place
And i hope to see ya soon someday
[master p]
I used to hang with my boy even slang with my boy
Used to bang with my boy, goddam i miss my boy
We started out youngstas in the park throwin birds
In your hearse, damn itand's sad to see my nigga in the dirt
The game got me workin, got me perkin, never jerkin
Still blowin dolja fo ya cause i know you up there workin
Ya little babyand's cool and ya babyand's mama straight
But todayand's a sad day to see the t-shirt with ya face
From the cradle to the grave, from the streets we used to fall
In the park you liked to ball, put yo name upon the wall
In the projects youand's a legend on the street you was a star
But itand's sad to see my homeboy ridin in that black car
A lotta soldiers done died, a lotta mothers done cried
You done took yo piece of the pie but you was too young to retire
Why soldiers ride for yo name leave it vain
Some gs never change, damn they killed you for some change
Smile for my homie kevin miller my boy randall
The ghetto persons that lost they loved ones to these ghetto scandals
Take a minute to smile for the dead (uuunnnggghhh!)
Smile for the dead (rip 2pac, makaveli)
All my homies who done made it to the crossroads
(biggie smalls)
[sons, mo b. oand'dell]
How could it be?
Somebody took my boy from me
(itand's like i canand't believe you gone)
My best friendand's gone
(sometimes i feel like i canand't go on)
And iand'm so all alone
(everytime i see something you done left
I really miss my homies
(it just remind me, more and more of you, dawg)
Even though they gone away
(i just keep reminiscin)
I know you in a better place
(cause i know you alright)
And i hope to see ya soon someday
(and i keep smilin, knowin iand'm a see you in the crossroads]
[pimp c]
We used to grip on the grain and flip them candy toys
But iand'd give up all that bullshit if i could get back my boy
Off in the club smokin weed til 3, hollerin at the hoes
Spendin $4000 on me on gators and clothes
When i turned to rap, he had to chase the game
Nigga told me, andquot;c, leave that dope, cause rappin is yo thangandquot;
I ainand't gone even lie, some nights i ride and cry
Wonderin why the real niggas always the ones to die
So i just smoke my weed and try to clear my mind
I wish that i had the power to turn back the hands of time
I wonder if thereand's a heaven up there for real gs
For all the niggas in the game that be sellin kiand's
I keep my memories, try to keep my head strong
But baby itand's hard to be strong, when yo main homie gone
[sons, mo b. oand'dell]
Even though you gone away
(even though you gone, you ainand't never gon be forgotten)
I know you in a better place
(cause as long as iand'm here
You gon live through me and other tru playas)
I really miss my homies
Even though they gone away
I know you in a better place
And i hope to see ya soon someday
[silkk]
Iand'm just sittin here dazed thinkin bout all the times we had
Thinkin the past, some was good and some was bad
Remember dante?
It was a group of us, just a group of five
Now three dead, one in jail, it seem right now iand'm the only one alive
To all my soldiers before me, may yaand'll rest in peace
When he took three, took my soul, just the bodies
He at the crossroads guide us out to the rest of me
Wishin i could rewind time like demos
Me and you gettin girls, writin down numbers like memos
Makin million dollar bets, makin all our money stretch like limos
Even though i smile, itand's sad, but they say gangstas canand't cry
But if i close my eyes and visualize me together
Then i suddenly wanna smile
To see you laid down when itand's yo time, when your time was up
You never seen your child, but heand's here to remind us
Even though you was wrong, i never could belive that that was true
You was with me forever, you could check my rest in peace tattoos
See me and c and p forever gon be ridin and thuggin
Rest in peace to all the ones that didnand't make it
And rest in peace to my brother
We gon miss you
(i love these fools)
I know you in a better place
(every time i get on my knees)
And i hope to see ya soon someday
(i pray for you, iand'm glad you in a better place
I hope i see ya soon, ainand't no more killin
Ainand't no more fights, and ainand't no more tears)
