Here's to you... |
[00:22.18] |
You have gone through struggles, suffering. |
[00:25.12] |
This one goes out to everybody in the world, but especially on the street level |
[00:30.62] |
Because I know where you comin from and some of the things you do,I can understand |
[00:34.31] |
So through all your travels,I'm wishing you a peaceful journey |
[00:40.38] |
What is a friend for? |
[00:41.70] |
Through rich and through poor |
[00:42.65] |
Kinda like a marriage balanced on a differnet floor |
[00:45.18] |
A friend could tell you things that he wouldn't tell another |
[00:47.38] |
So in essence, a friend could be considered a brother |
[00:50.06] |
You laugh and you play a lot, you talk and you say a lot |
[00:52.49] |
But when it's time to feel the pain, you cry and you pray a lot |
[00:54.96] |
I'm talkin about you, you who have the time |
[00:57.49] |
A time to be my friend when no one else would be mine |
[01:00.12] |
Problems were nothing because |
[01:01.30] |
I had my man to share them with |
[01:02.52] |
Hills were nothing neither, cause |
[01:03.89] |
I had my man to climb 'em with |
[01:04.95] |
I'm really proud to say that |
[01:05.86] |
I truly really knew you good |
[01:07.38] |
And oh, God's blessing from the entire neighborhood |
[01:09.70] |
And as the days drift, drift into the future |
[01:12.14] |
I laugh a little louder at the times that |
[01:14.34] |
I was witcha |
[01:15.21] |
This one's for you and |
[01:16.12] |
I truly hope you hear me |
[01:17.33] |
And through all your travels |
[01:18.76] |
I'm wishing you a peaceful journey (Heavy D) |
[01:34.91] |
And I wish you a peaceful journey (Peace!) |
[01:37.32] |
Brother I hope you hear me |
[01:39.54] |
In the corner, sits the little girl in tears |
[01:42.07] |
The shadow of a man overwhelms her fears |
[01:44.59] |
"Mommy, mommy, NO!", the words of a battered child |
[01:47.04] |
The wicked, wicked mommy has the sticks swingin buckwild |
[01:49.63] |
"Mister, mister, do you have a dime? |
[01:51.75] |
See, I'm hungry and I'd rather be a begger than do crime" |
[01:54.42] |
Sure - here's your dime, go make a big ten bucks |
[01:56.86] |
Now sneak around the corner, get your joints and go beat him up |
[01:59.38] |
A kid on the streets, doesn't want to be beat |
[02:01.61] |
So he hangs on the block 'til his pop fall asleep |
[02:04.85] |
Missing kids on the milk carton |
[02:06.81] |
A lunatic kills kids for kicks and gets pardoned |
[02:09.39] |
Baby girls run away from home, huh |
[02:11.77] |
And two months later, they're stars on child porn |
[02:14.24] |
Tracks on the arms of a minor |
[02:16.63] |
Suzie ran too, but she'll be dead when they find her |
[02:19.25] |
Kids on the street movin drugs, the thugs' growin up fast |
[02:21.53] |
Wouldn't stop when one gets plunged |
[02:24.16] |
Junior stole a |
[02:25.12] |
Benz with his friends |
[02:26.27] |
But got caught, now he's doin time with twenties and tens |
[02:28.90] |
For the rest of his life, he learns to lean on the wall |
[02:31.29] |
And prays for the day when his number is called |
[02:34.07] |
This one if for you and |
[02:35.33] |
I truly hope you heard me |
[02:36.59] |
Through all your travels, |
[02:37.81] |
I'm wishing you a peaceful journey |
[03:18.80] |
Pardon me, mister warden, |
[03:19.86] |
I'm askin for a pass |
[03:20.97] |
To come for some of my brothers who made mistakes in the pass |
[03:23.29] |
It's really not their fault, you see - times are |
[03:25.62] |
HARDAnd it was probably difficult for my man to find a job |
[03:28.31] |
Before he was forced, forced to make a living |
[03:30.79] |
By lying, stealing, and eventually killing |
[03:33.22] |
No one was born bad, we're all |
[03:34.99] |
God's Kids |
[03:35.75] |
So who's to really blame for the wrong that he did? |
[03:38.18] |
And speakin about the law, what are they for? |
[03:40.66] |
To beat us with a stick face down on the floor? |
[03:43.18] |
You preach and you preach that you want crime to stop |
[03:45.55] |
If you want crime to stop, stop hiring crooked cops |
[03:47.89] |
So hear me brother man, hear my plea! |
[03:50.35] |
If you want success all you gotta do is suc-ceed |
[03:53.13] |
Love, life, pain, death |
[03:55.47] |
What else is left on the travels of life's steps? |
[03:57.84] |
In life, we lose, get bumped and bruised |
[04:00.27] |
The road you choose not necessarily a cruise |
[04:02.80] |
You giggle for joy, shed a tear for pain |
[04:05.12] |
There's a lot to lose, and a lot to gain |
[04:07.50] |
Though when you walk on the streets, try to walk on street smarts |
[04:10.13] |
When you see your man down, try to have a little heart |
[04:12.45] |
This one if for you and |
[04:13.97] |
I truly hope you heard me |
[04:15.09] |
Through all your travels, |
[04:16.35] |
I'm wishing you a peaceful journey |
[04:21.74] |
Yeah, you're on my mind... |
[04:25.38] |
Peace...Hear me now brother |
[05:07.11] |
Stop your killing, stop your killing |
[05:12.07] |
Stop your stealing, stop your stealing |
[05:17.48] |
Stop your killing, stop your killing |
[05:21.63] |
Stop your killiiiii-ehhhhh-eeeeaaasah... |
[05:25.58] |
Huurrrrrrrr... |
[05:39.05] |
WHOO!Take my hand, take my hand |
