Projects...

Worldwide...

Yeah...

One love...

Remember back in the days

One man chased round the way

Used to do runs for them bigger cats for chump change

Now times change

Who woulda knew

How we grew

To become them same thugs on the avenue

Now I'm talking to your spirit

Wondering if you hear it

Problem you seeing my presence in a minute

You gone but we still living

Still strong and wishing you were hear to see it

We clicked not even death can part it

My people asking where my heart is

I left it with you

Now I'm heartless, and moving heartless

You dearly departed never forgotten

You taught us about street life, that's why we still chopping

Thats why we still poppin them collars

Fiendin for dollars

Until it's my momma that hollas

That sad song

It's been mad long

Hoping that life prolongs

But when the breath is gone, then the breath is gone

[Chorus]

Staring at the walls in this room

Knowing that you left the world far to soon

And it ain't fair, no, and it ain't right

I tip my drink and shed a tear tonight (shed a tear tonight)

To anyone who's lost someone

This goes out to you knowing that the time will come

Where ever you are whatever history

To those gone before us rest in peace

Poor a little henny for my dead people resting in peace

Got real G's dying in a fleets

It's the code of the streets where your life ain't guaranteed

I'm tired of hearing my brother's dying every week (Oh lord, oh no)

This petty beef ain't worth it

They got kids knowing it just ain't worth it (ain't worth it)

Doing life bids locked up with no purpose to live

My man Big's got two in his head

Now little Reg the same since he's on his death bed

Memories of the past days

The good ol days

When gats used to blow at your rivals not your homies (Shed a tear tonight)

[Chorus]

Picture every single day living in my hood

Thugs up to no good (no good)

We all grew up as one blood

Too many filled up with slugs

Streets got no love (no love, no love)

I been to more funerals this year, threw dirt

Remember when we used to play in the dirt

Now I'm throwing dirt, on a golden casket

I seen my fate, at the open casket

I've seen thugs cry, when you got blasted

6 O'clock news, front page plastered

Now all we got is memories

While I'm wishing you was right here

We used to wear the same gear

Now I'm shedding tears

I see you when I get there

Look against the concrete

But your spirit is here

Strait from the heart you'll forever be a part

Of these dogs from the hood, and that's only a part

[Chorus]

A love like no other, like the love for a brother

Like the love that you show one another

I would give my life

People re-embrace the seeds of mother

And I still see a resemblance of her

Do you remember the timing

I would change the four dogs on assignment

Four bricks, one block, all fiends in the lobby

When the epidemic hit and the city was silent

How we made the most noise when they hit our apartment

Then school for the reefer and jewels, then sneak into flicks

Anything for them chips, we would settle with fists

See I was young and hard headed, never settled for ish

Till the last breath left your lips

I had to settle with the fact you were one with the ground

Most times I took you for the reasons I frowned

See yo seeds is my seeds, and the future ain't sound

Till we make a difference this time around

So live through me
