(hahhh, hahaha) Hehehe, word
|
It's like all we got left - teardrops and closed caskets
|
(throw it up fool, hey nigga, haha)
|
Tell me how you feel homey
|
|
(Yeah, it took a week to go down)
|
You recollects and see how crazy it sounds
|
The whole town's on a mission, adolescents (penitentary bound)
|
(Now introducin Young Trigga)
|
Since birth, eyes set on gettin bigger
|
Just anotha wild-ass nigga
|
(But he was fiendin for Precious) WHAT?
|
(But Precious was a ghetto girl)
|
Couldn't be no sex without that gold Lexus
|
(But Lil' Trigga was heartbroken, he had to get his papers)
|
Seein visions of people smokin and niggaz catchin vapors
|
Got his man from around the corner (we'll call him Lil' Mo)
|
(Been in so many reform schools they had to let him go)
|
(Here's where the plot thickens)
|
They got a plot to make a profit with they glocks spittin
|
(They call the squad, hittin blocks with they guns blowin)
|
(Somebody's gonna die tonight)
|
Still no one's knowin, so they kept goin
|
Catchin dealers comin out they cars (will they survive?)
|
(Two semi-automatic nines, them niggaz died)
|
(Plus nobody in the hood cries, it's like they celebrate
|
to death and wish they could die) So peep the lesson
|
But wait a minute back to Precious
|
She's snortin dope in the back seat of Trigg's Lexus
|
TEARDROPS AND CLOSED CASKETS

[Nate] Will I.. forever be alone
|
[Pac] Teardrops and closed caskets

|
(Don't let these ghetto streets get you, Precious)
|
(was the victim, from a dime to a nickel)
|
Hopin God's blessings stick with ya
|
Picture the neighborhood kingpin, who's gettin bigger
|
Familiar face, but a man now, it's Lil' Trigga
|
Now Lil' Mo was a soldier to the fullest
|
Down for his homies, always the first to spit bullets
|
(All he wanted was to be a thug)
|
Never pictured his truest homeboy would fall in love
|
(Here's where it gets ya)
|
Now Precious is pregnant, Lil' Trigga is happy
|
He wants to marry her now (not knowin he ain't the daddy)
|
But Precious was lonely while Lil' Trigga was makin dough
|
She's slippin in secret places and gettin with Lil' Mo
|
The neighborhood's buzzin, now people are talkin
|
Lil' Trigga's gettin pictures of the both of 'em walkin
|
(Hand in hand, couldn't understand)
|
How his baby's mama could disapear with another man
|
(and his best friend)
|
Now jealousy's dangerous, and if you don't believe me
|
Then watch the way that this story ends and maybe you'll see
|
There ain't no heroes or villains, ain't no pleasure in killin
|
Just the smoke from the cap peelin a man with no feelings
|
TEARDROPS AND CLOSED CASKETS
|
|
[Nate] Will I.. forever be alone
|
[Pac] Teardrops and closed caskets
|
Bury you dead and look ahead
|
A man with no feelings
|

|
That's all we got left, that's all
|
|
[Outlawz]
|
Now with the problems of poverty
|
and the tricks to these tales
|
How many people'll die
|
how many'll live to tell
|
Although best friends before
|
Lil' Trigga and Mo
|
(They in an all out war, over a fiend they ain't know)
|
Behind the curtains their privacy lust is already laid down
|
The results is the same with different names and it turns out
|
|
[2Pac]
|
Y'all know how it is, same old thing in the same old town
|
Lil' Trigg got his nose wide open on this one trick, now he's played out
|
Think it's Lil' Mo (was plottin plans on gettin bigger)
|
(Precious was his way to put his hands on Lil' Trigga)
|
All the while let's look at Precious
|
Too dumb to see what's goin down (too doped up to ask questions)
|
Used to be comrades (but now we blast on sight)
|
What could be so bad (God, will we last tonight?)
|
From misdemeanors to felonies, small-time to sellin ki's
|
I can't believe the shit they tellin me
|
They open fire, three bodies drop, so call the cops
|
(Precious, Lil' Mo and Trigg)

TEARDROPS AND CLOSED CASKETS
