Damn, I never thought I'd be wearing
A suit and tie so many times a year
But like Bone said, to all my homies
Ain't here, be in a crossroad fool
Imagine this, me dress 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
Sorta like the TLC video "Waterfalls"
But this was the real deal, this ain't no movie
Niggas drove up and blast my homie with a Uzi
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 dying everyday, we all are doomed
My momma look at me and say "boy watch yourself"
But I can't trip momma 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 gots to die
But one day I guess we gonna wake up
When they put 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 calling my homie name
Why my homie had to die?
Now somebody's momma gonna cry
Why my homie had to die?
Now somebody's momma gonna cry
I remember when my grandfather died like five
It never really touched me much
But to see my brother laying dead on
The floor really kinda fucked me up
I never thought it hit me here then he could be gone
I never thought the day he left the
House he wouldn't be coming back home
I wonder when your time is go who gon' protect you
See somebody 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
I see you gotta watch out for all us killer kids
Believe me I be a youngster tryna spit the game
But it's a damn shame all of the shit done changed
Through all the struggling and striving I tries to stay hard
But look at Mr. President in the White House tryna play God
Put us all in one big old boat
He call it housing projects, I call it one big ghetto
Damn, look like the Statue of Liberty is crying
I guess that mean the whole world is fucking dying
Why my homie had to die?
Now somebody's momma gonna cry
Why my homie had to die?
Now somebody's momma gonna cry
My nigga dead, my nigga died, how the fuck you figure?
Another victim, my brother was a drug dealer
I'm paranoid lookin' for the niggas that did him in
They said it was his homies, coulda been his best friend
My momma tell me keep my head on solid ground
But I can't forget how my brother went down
And now a foe and I another must lose his life
Never seen his kids, it's gonna be a bloody night
Cause when you dead you can't get a second chance
It's up to me to make another nigga dirty dance
Sometimes I sit and reminisce about the old days
Selling dope and playing ball up in them court ways
When I daydream sometimes I gots to grin
Close my eyes and then I see my fucking brother again
And when I wake up I'm hit by reality
Realizing it was just a memory
Cause everybody put us down for being drug dealers
But I say fuck 'em and rest in peace Kevin Miller
Why my homie had to die?
Now somebody's momma gonna cry
Why my homie had to die?
Now somebody's momma gonna cry
Why my homie had to die?
Now somebody's momma gonna cry
Why my homie had to die?
Y'all niggas better wake up and realize
This motherfucking album is dedicated to all
The niggas that got a second chance on life
And that's constantly going to funerals
Constantly tryna realize why they people gotta die
And to all the motherfucking Gs, hustlers
Ballers up there in the crossroad
Crossfire, this album dedicated to y'all too
Cause I know y'all got them motherfucking earphones on
Ridin' in them drop tops up there in the clouds
Pervin' on this Silkk the Shocker shit
Cause y'all know my lil nigga done shocked the world
Y'all niggas feel this shit everywhere
All cross the motherfucking border
Y'all niggas feel this shit
Nigga I told you we was gonna take over this rap shit, nigga
Let this be known
Me, Silkk and C down here counting millions nigga
Sippin' on Moรซt 'til then fool
Toast to you fool
We done took over this rap game nigga
Let them niggas up there know what's happening
