| [00:04.030] |
Yo, what up, my nigga? |
| [00:31.050] |
You know, I was in the hood |
| [00:35.110] |
I just thought I'd stop by and holler at you for a minute |
| [00:38.350] |
Pour out a little liquor or somethin' |
| [00:40.720] |
Nigga, we done been through a lot of shit together |
| [00:41.850] |
From runnin' these streets to bein' down for whatever |
| [00:44.350] |
And now that you're gone I got a whole lot of shit to tell ya |
| [00:48.520] |
Things I should've said way back when we was younger |
| [00:50.960] |
Remember when we used to roll hand in hand? |
| [00:53.640] |
And now I'm trippin' on how I really miss you, man |
| [00:56.950] |
And remember when you and me would say |
| [00:58.190] |
We'd get up out this hood and everything would be okay |
| [01:01.940] |
It's all good now |
| [01:04.310] |
My nigga, we out the hood now |
| [01:05.690] |
We had the same ideas, but not the same careers |
| [01:09.060] |
We shared the same old laugh, but not the same tears |
| [01:13.860] |
You were my homie, my stoney, my Rollie |
| [01:16.540] |
My nigga and never placed no bitch befo' me |
| [01:19.600] |
Man, I swear to God I love for that shit |
| [01:22.530] |
Why'd you have to get hit? Where was I? What time was it? |
| [01:25.900] |
You were supposed to get older with me |
| [01:27.150] |
On stage, hands on shoulders with me |
| [01:30.650] |
Coppin' 'em Range Rovers with me |
| [01:33.200] |
Sittin' on thangs and smokin' trees |
| [01:36.080] |
And if it wasn't for the will that God had made |
| [01:40.190] |
I'd turn back the hands of time and take your place |
| [01:41.560] |
Sittin' here sippin' on this Hennessey |
| [01:44.560] |
Just thinkin' about what you meant to me, my nigga |
| [01:47.810] |
Even though you're gone, you will always be my nigga |
| [01:52.420] |
Though you made it home, I'm still missin' you, my nigga |
| [01:56.600] |
I'm feelin' like the timing was wrong, my nigga |
| [01:58.350] |
I know you're smilin' down sayin', Carry on, my nigga |
| [02:07.560] |
Sometimes my nights can get long, my nigga |
| [02:08.990] |
Sometimes I feel God did me wrong, my nigga |
| [02:10.050] |
So I had to write a song, my nigga |
| [02:11.170] |
Just to let you know that you're still my nigga |
| [02:13.290] |
I wish, I wish, I wish |
| [02:15.050] |
I wish, I wish, I wish |
| [02:16.850] |
Your little son is lookin' at me like, Where's my daddy? |
| [02:19.410] |
And your thirteen-year old daughter is mad 'cuz she understands |
| [02:21.150] |
Promised your mama I'd take care of the family |
| [02:24.530] |
But she's so hurt, she turns away my helpin' hands |
| [02:26.960] |
Damn, I wish your ass was here, my nigga |
| [02:29.710] |
To grow that gray beard and smoke that cigar, my nigga |
| [02:33.020] |
And we would talk about you gettin' up out this game |
| [02:35.760] |
And you would tell me how it keeps callin' your name |
| [02:38.560] |
We used to ride, ride, ride |
| [02:40.750] |
Never afraid to die, die, die |
| [02:42.380] |
But some times we'd cry, cry, cry |
| [02:45.000] |
Askin' the Lord, why, why, why |
| [02:47.740] |
They're tearin' down these projects |
| [02:50.990] |
We were homies for like twenty thug years |
| [02:52.300] |
Sat in church and cried the same thug tears |
| [02:54.420] |
You remember when Vibe World Premier |
| [02:56.790] |
How we used to share the same old gear |
| [03:00.840] |
And remember when you and me would say |
| [03:03.530] |
We'd get up out this hood and everything would be okay |
| [03:06.520] |
It's all good now |
| [03:08.390] |
My nigga, we out the hood now |
| [03:10.580] |
It's so easy for folks to say, Rob, just live on |
| [03:15.690] |
When I'm dyin' every second that you're gone |
| [03:18.810] |
Nevertheless, I try my best to be strong |
| [03:19.810] |
Hopin' you said your prayers before you went on home |
| [03:24.370] |
We done stood on these blocks and just shot the breeze |
| [03:26.740] |
We'd slap-box dead in the middle of streets |
| [03:28.860] |
And if a fight broke out, you would take up for me |
| [03:32.540] |
Now all I have left are these ghetto memories |
| [03:34.860] |
I wish, I wish, I wish |
| [03:38.030] |
I wish, I wish, I wish |
| [03:40.900] |
Uh, uh, yo' dog, I can't explain how I miss you |
| [03:44.580] |
We stayed together, coppin' cane, poppin' pistols |
| [03:46.140] |
I miss you most, puttin' the doo-rag over your bean head |
| [03:48.020] |
Even out the hood on the scene you brag |
| [03:50.700] |
Comin' up off the fiends wit bags, runnin' up out the cleanest Jag |
| [03:54.630] |
You was the closest nigga I had |
| [03:57.260] |
Look how we stayed aces hustled, made big faces |
| [03:59.880] |
I wish we could trade places |
| [04:01.180] |
F**k givin' you ice I'd rather give you life |
| [04:03.240] |
And the things that I had, I'd give you twice |
| [04:06.810] |
What the deal, my nigga? I know you holdin' it down |
| [04:11.230] |
If you could see me you would say, I'm talkin' soft right now |
| [04:14.350] |
But it's hard for me to say when I'ma see you again |
| [04:16.600] |
And I know it's f**ked up, I gotta talk through this pen |
| [04:19.600] |
But you'd died for the love of the dough |
| [04:22.090] |
The love of the block sixteen you was runnin' the spot |
| [04:25.150] |
Boy, your mama used to hate how we stood on the curb |
| [04:28.140] |
Hangin' with wild thug niggas smokin' the herb |
| [04:30.450] |
I'm gonna keep pourin' this liquor and that's my word |
| [04:34.440] |
This here is for niggas that be flippin' them birds, word up |
| [04:37.190] |
Even though you're gone you will always be my nigga |
| [04:39.560] |
Even though you're home I'm still missin you, my nigga |
| [04:43.370] |
I'm feelin' like the timing was wrong, my nigga |
| [04:45.060] |
(I'm feelin' like timing was wrong) |
| [04:47.110] |
I know you're smilin' down sayin', Carry on, my nigga |
| [04:51.300] |
(Radio, please don't take the nigga out my song) |
| [04:53.790] |
Sometimes my nights can get long, my nigga |
| [04:56.720] |
(Let it play on, play on, play on, play on, play on) |
| [04:58.720] |
Sometimes I feel God did me wrong, my nigga |
| [05:00.030] |
So I had to write a song, my nigga |
| [05:01.160] |
Just to let you know that you're still my nigga |
