|
Gave ya'll all a good reason just to remember see |
|
Now I'm reaching heavenly, I'ma leave a legacy |
|
My Niggas gunna swear on my name and pour out Hennessey |
|
They gon' say I did it all, started out with mixin' crack |
|
Look at that before he went to jail he didn't even rap |
|
Came home in the street back up at the block again |
|
Out of nowhere street nigga killed the rap game |
|
[Repeat Hook:] |
|
[Verse 3:] |
|
Left a mark in the hood, Made a mark in the world |
|
Went straight from the hood, to the top of the world |
|
You can tell that I'm different; you can see that I lived it |
|
When I'm gone you gunna remember me clearly and vivid |
|
The face of an angel, the heart of a lion |
|
Champion spirit, blessed with the will of surviving |
|
You remember the face, you remember the game |
