[00:05.21]Now I used to walk with the gun now I walk like a man
[00:07.93]And I walk what I talk and I walk never ran
[00:10.45]And I never say never but I mean hardly ever
[00:13.25]And if shootin' is the solution then you're not that clever
[00:15.78]If you don't know shit then you still know better
[00:18.36]Human life is so precious it could never be measured
[00:20.93]Have you ever had a load of it cock back the heat
[00:23.72]Poppin' on the next nigga while he walkin' up the street
[00:26.38]Trigger off safety spacin an opportunity
[00:29.00]These niggaz wanna waste me it ain't nothing new to me
[00:31.73]Soon as he walked by I was ready to bust
[00:34.00]But he just posted up like he was waitin' on the bus
[00:36.77]Now I'm all pumped up with a steroid trigger
[00:39.22]Cause most of y'all are easy just some paranoid niggaz
[00:42.14]Used to walk with a gun but I never did use it
[00:44.80]What's the point of holdin' heat if you ain't gon' shoot it
[00:47.36]Stupid
[00:50.37]
[00:57.76]It was a late night sunset me and him out
[01:00.88]Lookin' at the ladies to come up on some trim
[01:03.06]Everybody wildin' out cause the summer's about to end
[01:05.59]He had the hypnotic he was missin with the hand
[01:08.27]Of that mean green laid back with the deep lean on low pro shit
[01:12.09]That's how we rolled on the scene
[01:13.77]Two girls lookin' probably in they late teens
[01:16.18]But these days you can't tell but I figured what the hell
[01:18.69]So we yell out: Hey girl  they yell back
[01:21.16]Maybe two in the front maybe two in the back
[01:23.70]But they had this dark tint couldn't see through the black
[01:26.45]We roll up ask 'em "where the party at "
[01:29.14]They just start to laugh and I knew it was a trap
[01:31.73]But I couldn't roll out cause the strip was so packed
[01:34.32]Now I'm lookin at this nigga in this motherf**kin' hat
[01:37.12]Start talkin' that bullshit like we was on some bullshit
[01:39.70]My nigga used to bang but we ain't on no thug shit
[01:42.34]I tried to dismantle it but you know Los Angeles
[01:44.73]This nigga kept talkin' so my boy had to handle it
[01:47.44]He jumped out the Lex snatched the dude out his hat
[01:49.97]I put it in park jumped out to get his back
[01:52.51]But as I did that  I heared two shots
[01:55.28]I turned to my right and I see my dude drop
[01:57.77]Time stopped  coudln't believe what I seen
[02:00.39]I was struck by reality when the two girls screamed
[02:03.08]I saw his killer stand up put the gun in his jeans
[02:05.63]Saw him wince from the pain as the heat burned his waist
[02:08.35]Then he turned up the block disappeared without a trace
[02:10.81]I remember his face but what I remember most
[02:13.43]Was when I got to my knees and held my nigga close
[02:16.02]And asked not to leave us in the name of Christ Jesus
[02:18.54]But he's gone and all I got left is his blood on my sneakers
[02:21.15]It was a year to this day that my best friend died
[02:23.95]For weeks I sat alone in my room and cried
[02:26.42]And I tried to pretend everything was fine
[02:29.09]But my soul couldn't rest until vengeance was mine
[02:31.88]T was a year to this day that my best friend died
[02:34.46]For weeks I sat alone in my room and cried
[02:36.84]And I tried to pretend everything was fine
[02:39.43]But my soul couldn't rest until vengeance was mine
[02:43.07]
[02:53.00]The day began with me standin' at his grave with his mother
[02:55.57]His old girlfriend  his two younger brothers
[02:58.14]We said a few words faces covered with tears
[03:00.68]How we missed him so much and we wished he was here
[03:03.33]Then his girl said a poem put some roses on his stone
[03:06.02]And we said our goodbyes and they all went home
[03:08.57]I thought I'd use this time for me and him to be alone
[03:11.31]I broke out the Hen' poured a little out for him
[03:13.85]Told him who was gettin' married  who had went to the pen
[03:16.55]How the homie named his newborn son after him
[03:19.01]But as the sun went down the talk came to an end
[03:21.86]So I said a quick prayer  amen
[03:24.19]And I shook in the lab plus the well wrote tracks
[03:27.07]And I headed up saw the homie Eyezeer
[03:29.63]I asked him what he doin' he was way out of bound
[03:32.52]That he had a freak that lived on that side of town
[03:35.00]He always kept the heat just in case it went down
[03:37.61]A clown  I rolled down my window 'bout to light a ciga-
[03:41.53]Hey  Is that that nigga that   hey give me the motherf**king gun
[03:45.24]Man  drive around the block and post up for a minute
[03:48.32]I hit you on the shirt hit the corner nigga bend it
[03:51.01]Splendid now with vengeance in my grasp
[03:53.56]I couldn't dream of a better day for me to catch his ass
[03:56.23]Slippin while he dippin into the ride by himself
[03:58.73]I slid up behind him in the shadows hella stealth
[04:01.41]He started to breakin' stuff I said I didn't want a dime
[04:04.24]Remember what you was doin' last year at this time
[04:06.80]He looked into my eyes with both shock and surprise
[04:09.31]Then I split his face with the Glock right before he could reply
[04:12.13]He cried as I pressed the heat against his cheek
[04:14.50]Then I squeeze two times for the homie rest in peace
[04:17.15]It was a year to this day that my best friend died
[04:19.83]For weeks I sat alone in my room and cried
[04:22.32]And I tried to pretend everything was fine
[04:24.84]But my soul couldn't rest until vengeance was mine
[04:27.48]It was a year to this day that my best friend died
[04:30.38]For weeks I sat alone in my room and cried
[04:32.84]And I thought that's what I wanted until the problem was confronted
[04:35.51]
[04:36.06]Now I'm haunted by remorse that I wished I hadn't done it
