[Hook 2x: Lia Mack]
|
|
My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why I got outta bed at all
|
The morning rain clouds up my window and I can't see at all
|
And even if I could it'll all be gray but your picture on my wall
|
It reminds me, that it's not so bad, it's not so bad
|
|
[Verse 1: Jon Connor]
|
|
Dear Chris, I hope these words reach you
|
My only regret is that I never get to meet you
|
I used to screen the words to juicy to my voice revoicer
|
Now my mama smiles when she sees my face in the source
|
I think to myself, Is this what you envisioned?
|
And how different would the game be if you was still living
|
Fat, black, ugly as ever but we ain't give a shit
|
True lyricist and now we caught up in these images
|
In ignorance we act like we can't remember when you was on the radio
|
Killing shit, just spitting the realest shit
|
Between you and I sometimes all I do is cry
|
Cause you was the only one who was ready for you to die
|
And we say you was the greatest cause we know you spit your soul
|
And today you can't blow unless you doing what you're told
|
And I'm just letting you know how much your legacy meant to me
|
And just know that lyrically you will always live through me
|

[Verse 2: Jon Connor]
|
|
Yeah, dear Pac it's like I'm the only one fighting
|
One of the last who still gives a shit of what he's writing
|
I hate when people talk about you and all they got was Thugging
|
Cause 'keep ya head up' was what taught me how to treat a woman
|
And all the controversy is what folks like to remember
|
But my nigger had a sister, who had the same story as Brenda
|
And see you knew her pain that was the only thing what mattered
|
Just why don't you go and ask her if 2Pac was just a rapper
|
But you, you had a message and we felt it
|
And you knew the story of the struggle and you wasn't scared to tell it
|
You told that if you don't change the world than your words will plant the seeds
|
You know 'bout where I'm from I got you and Breed on repeat
|
You showed me the sky's the limit from a rapper to an actor
|
From the background dancer to a screen with Janet jackson
|
You showed me as a writer that my job is to inspire
|
Always reach for the stars but you told me to reach higher, for real
|
|

[Verse 3: Jon Connor]
|
|
Dear Breed, I was only 20 when I met you
|
I'm just glad that I got to tell you how much I respect you
|
You was our beginning you gave us our sound
|
"Ain't No Future In Yo Frontin" gave us reason to be proud
|
Instead of being a city under a dark cloud
|
You gave us a reason to say Flint and say it loud
|
The first rapper I ever knew as a child it made me smile
|
And as a grown man I still get that same feeling now
|
I never listen to the haters, never listen to the comments
|
Cause I promise that my remake was a tribute paying hommage
|
And I dont want no sympathy ain't do it for publicity
|
I guess it was just for me to do it for your memory
|
Never tought that I get backlashed for that song
|
Cause how could such good intentions get taken so wrong?
|
But when Erica came and hug me with tears in her eyes
|
I knew that what I did was right and felt your tears from the sky, love
|
