|
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 won't have to feel the pain
|
Looking at a closed casket or a picture frame
|
Even shorties that you banged won'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 that's a memory
|
Thinking 'bout the fun times we had together
|
Blazin' 'till the sunshine
|
Drinkin' the cheap wine
|
I know I never find a ? of the same kind
|
But at the same time, I'm constantly writin' eulogies
|
For my big homey locs and my loco g's
|
Since '73 it seems death followed me to my man ?Tyshan Wells?
|
Rest in Peace
|
Chorus
|
Oh why oh why oh why
|
It'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 'bout the day when he bury you
|
Tear drops stain the wally's that you rockin'
|
On the block candles burn guns popin'
|
I just came from the cemetery where my dog was buried
|
Drop some buds in the earth to grow in they memory
|
Thinkin' '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 swarmin'
|
Prayin' on his garments
|
They stay robbin' dead men cuz they don't give 'em problems
|
Heard the good die young be it by God or gun
|
Paint my mural on the wall sayin' 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
|
Drinkin' liquor 'till I'm damn near 'bout to '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 it's your time to leave
|
Repeat chorus several times
|
