| [00:00.000] |
Up early in the mornin', dressed in black |
| [00:03.331] |
Don't aks why 'cause |
| [00:05.406] |
I'm down in a suit and tie |
| [00:07.249] |
They killed a homie that |
| [00:08.031] |
I went to school with |
| [00:09.851] |
(Damn...)I tell ya life ain't shit to fool with |
| [00:12.725] |
I still hear the screams of his mother |
| [00:15.042] |
Kill at Will (Damn...)I tell ya life ain't shit to fool with |
| [00:18.190] |
And it's gettin' to my temple |
| [00:20.784] |
Why is that the only time black folks get to ride in a limo? |
| [00:24.674] |
It makes me so mad |
| [00:25.707] |
I want to get my sawed in |
| [00:27.799] |
And have some bodies hauled in |
| [00:29.601] |
But no, I pay my respects and |
| [00:31.850] |
I'm through |
| [00:32.639] |
Hug my crew and maybe she'd a tear or two |
| [00:35.779] |
Then I wanna get blitz |
| [00:38.312] |
Grab my 40 ounce and then |
| [00:40.135] |
I reminisce |
| [00:41.430] |
About a brother who had to be the one and only |
| [00:44.290] |
So I dedicate this to my dead homiez |
| [00:47.635][Music] |
|
| [00:58.067] |
Another homie got murdered on a shakedown |
| [01:00.670] |
And his mother is at the funeral, havin' a nervous breakdown |
| [01:04.057] |
Two shots hit him in the face when they blasted |
| [01:07.200] |
A framed picture and a closed casket |
| [01:10.099] |
A single file line about 50 cars long |
| [01:13.411] |
All drivin' slow with they lights on |
| [01:15.954] |
He got a lot of flowers and a big wreath |
| [01:18.221] |
What good is that when you're six feet deep? |
| [01:20.997] |
While my nigga laid dead in the gutter(****!) |
| [01:24.649] |
And thank |
| [01:25.431] |
God for my health' |
| [01:26.724] |
Cause nobody really ever know |
| [01:29.607] |
When it's gonna be they family on the front row |
| [01:32.679] |
So I take everythin' slow, go with the flow |
| [01:35.813] |
I look at that shit and gotta think to myself |
| [01:37.083] |
I don't know' |
| [01:38.919] |
Cause that's what pops told me |
| [01:40.633] |
But I wish he could have said it to my dead homiez |
| [01:44.270][Music] |
|
| [01:54.912] |
I remember we painted our names on the wall for fun |
| [01:58.574] |
Now it's rest in peace after every one |
| [02:01.173] |
Except me, but |
| [02:02.216] |
I ain't the one to front |
| [02:03.999] |
Seems like |
| [02:04.528] |
I'm viewin' a body every other month |
| [02:06.620] |
Plus, I knew him when he was yea big |
| [02:09.183] |
Pour beer on the curb before |
| [02:11.595] |
I take a swig |
| [02:12.856] |
But somethin' ain't right |
| [02:14.852] |
When it's a tragedy that's the only time that the family's tight |
| [02:18.431] |
Lovin' each other in a carin' mood |
| [02:21.553] |
There's lots of people and lots of food |
| [02:24.330] |
They say be strong and you're tryin' |
| [02:26.194] |
But how strong can you be when you see your pop's cryin' |
| [02:29.563] |
So that's why |
| [02:30.099] |
Ice Cube's dressed up |
| [02:31.910] |
And shut my ****ing mouth if |
| [02:34.784] |
And everybody's so phony |
| [02:37.334] |
Take a little time to think about your dead homiez |
