To my man g.o.v., i remember how you used to be | |
You were the illest man alive now i'm reading your eulogy | |
Eyes so serious, you told me hold my head | |
Pursue this rap shit and go forward never backwards | |
While you gripped tec's tight, and ran niggaz out of town | |
I ripped up mics, showin wack niggaz how to sound | |
Still your essence, was callin | |
By two gunshots, at close range, your frame had fallen | |
Now like a angel you've risen | |
And you will stay in my heart, and yo i wish you were still livin | |
Word... this is in memory of | |

To my man brian b, i remember how you used to be | |
You were the flyest in the club with three bitches doin rub-a-dub | |
You was the pimp of all panderers | |
Gq, johnny presley, fuckin up the elegances | |
So many hookers on your schedule | |
Slammin cadillac doors and mackin whores on the regular | |
You used to boost, the slickest of suits | |
Climbin through the back windows on the bus, you was ill dukes | |
Until that chick you vicked, for the cutlass | |
Started snillz-niffin ki-daine, and went to cut cha | |
That freak shanked you six times in your sleep | |
I wish you was here, cause your philosophy was mad deep | |
Yeah... this is in memory of | |
Keith 'cowboy', scott larock | |
Prince messiah "rest in peace" | |
Buffy, the human beatbox y'know | |
Tupac shakur "rest in peace" | |
Pinkhouse, sub roc | |
O.g. boo bang, salute! "rest in peace" | |
Seagram's, killa black from mobb deep | |
Biggie smalls, yeah rest in peace | |
Lance owens y'all | |

To all my brothers doin time, whether or not you did the crime | |
You know the system is devised to keep you deaf dumb and blind | |
Like scarface said, them cats are smart | |
In order for things to change we must all play a part | |
It's easy for us to blame society | |
But now it's way too late, and we must take responsibility | |
To all my brothers in the streets | |
I know you feel you gotta hustle cause your peeps gotta eat | |
Makin moves right and exact; don't wanna see you layin flat | |
Don't wanna see ya catch a bullet black | |
If we don't build we'll be destroyed | |
That's the challenge we face in this race of poor and unemployed | |
Freud, a philosopher, but i'm a realist | |
So philosophize this, without love we won't exist | |
To those who passed out there, in the deserts and the jungles | |
With pain on their shoulders, and heavy bundles | |
I pray each one will, ascend to new heights and new enlightenment | |
And this is why i'm writin it | |
Yeah... this is in memory of | |
* i'm not sure about all of these names * | |
Linnet grinnich, cookie murray | |
