Master P]

Damn. I never thought I'd be wearin a suit and tie so many times a year, but
|
like Bone said, to all my homies ain't here, see ya in the crossroads, fool
|
|
Imagine this, me dressed in all black
|
At a funeral strapped with a chrome gat
|
Who died P, I guess it was my homie, black
|
Somebody rolled up and shot him in the back
|
It was sad, my homie took a damn fall
|
Sort of like the TLC video, "Waterfalls"
|
But this was the real deal, this ain't no movie
|
Niggaz drove up and blasted my homie with a oozie
|
Now me and Silkk got to ride
|
After the funeral cause it's sad on my side
|
Cause in the ghetto, it's one big black moon
|
I mean people dyin everyday, we all are doomed
|
My mama look at me and say, "Boy, watch yoself!"
|
But I can't trip, mama, cause I live for myself
|
And if I die on the streets, then it's my time to go
|
But if I live to see another day, another funeral
|
It's sad, I look into they eyes
|
Damn, everybody's got to die
|
But one day, I guess we gon to wake up
|
When they puttin me in that black truck
|
It could be you, it could be her
|
But in the end everybody gets did up
|
Cause in the ghetto everybody live like Jesse James
|
I still question God for callin my homie name
|
|
Chorus I (2X): Why my homie had to die?
|
Now somebody mama gonna cry
|

|
Now when my grandfather died, I was like 5, it never really touched me much
|
But seein my brother layin dead on floor really kinda fucked me up
|
I never thought he could be here then he could be gone
|
I never thought the day he left the house he wouldn't be comin back home
|
I wonder when it's yo time to go, who gon protect you
|
See someone died in my family, didn't even much affect you
|
I wonder why my homie died at such a young age
|
I wonder why my homie death didn't make the front page
|
Cause it's a trip, and life ain't even worth to live
|
See ya gotta watch out for all us killa kids
|
Belive me, I be a youngsta tryin to spit the game
|
But it's a damn shame, all of the shit done changed
|
Through all the strivin and strugglin I try to stay hard
|
But look at Mr. President in the White House tryin to play God
|
Put us all in one big ole boat
|
They call it housin projects, I call it one big ghetto
|
|
Damn. Looks like the Statue of Liberty is cryin
|
I guess that mean the whole world is fuckin dyin
|
|
Chorus I (2X)
