Lost Another Soldier (Tribute To Big Mello)

[Chorus - 2x]

I really hate it that we lost another soldier

Time and time, it seems this world be getting colder

You never really know when your time gon be over

It feel like it's forever riding on our shoulders

[Trae]

Why did I have to say goodbye, this life the best here, kneel down and I cry

I can't lie heavenly father, why all of my real niggas gotta fight

It was just like yesterday we lost DJ Screw, now B-I-G M-E double L-O

Somebody feel my pain before I be alone, and I'm about this sure

I can't take no more we'll mask together, wrecking the stage together

We shine together, we ride forever, pull back in the shop together

Step on the block together damn, it'll be okay

I got a certified plack that's on the way

Trae, Dougie D and Z-Ro gotta ride for the dog

Gotta grind for the dog, put it down for the dog

I love my dog, and I don't wanna lose no more

Big Mello I got you, and I'm fin to tell everybody all about you

This life we live is hard, you was another gift to my life

You and Screw and I'm missing you, and now that I think about it

[Tony Montana]

Heavenly father I ain't the one to question your will, or what is it to be

done

But these cemeteries get you acquainted to all of my homies

And this time it's Mello, and I just don't understand why that he gone

And the only thing that keeping me from crying, is blowing up on this do-do

Like ones in the ghetto, we learn to shock and rock cash that rip flows

And you ain't give a fuck if, you want to click shit you live on

You said, my heart in the light motherfucker, we gon represent my nigga

Put the deuce up by the roof, yelling out what it do for you my nigga

Wrecking the microphone till ten and, keeping it crunk for you already

And the plan to get the lab, before praying with grandma on that Thursday

Know we gon ride until then, whenever the last your ass gon be missed

And we gon hold it down up on the ground, till we meet up in heaven

[Chorus - 2x]

[Dougie D]

I'm gon ride till I'm with you, damn I really miss you

I just don't understand, why he had to come and get you

You always kept it positive, painting perfect pictures

A soldier with the heart of a lion, a bold heart nigga

Much respect dog, never will you ever be forgotten

Salvation's in your corner now, down here you got non-stopping

Realizing that you're gone, it's really hard to swallow

Tomorrow ain't promised, we living time that's borrowed

I wish there was another way, that death could be defeated

You left us all in shock, our souls have been depleted

Till we join you we gon mourn you, keep the mic on for you

16 shots of loot, to the K and Day soldier

[Z-Ro]

We living in war times on time by the hard times, will it ever get better

My niggas be losing they life, over some of that punk ass cheddar

Everybody gotta have that, so we gotta get up and get that there

The best way we can, everyday is a struggle

And every morning, six fellas with a casket in they hand

And it just don't stop, seem like every time a brother fin to reach the top

Shut the fuck up, heaven always has a road block, another real nigga drop

And it's always close to home, paranoid of my people I tote my chrome

Packing that plastic in the middle of the night, I gotta protect my dome

Looking for the reason, why, my nigga ain't breathing

God damn I'm hurting this evening, why the fuck Big Curtis leave

And I wanna go with him cause I can't stay breathing

Everyday it's a different thang, broke loose of the drama, loose of the pain

Feel like I'm going insane, the rap game will never be the same

[Chorus - 2x]

[Cl'Che]

You never know, you never know, when it's your time to go

To the top of the rope, till you can't climb no more

We miss your energy and your spirit around the studio Big Mello, Big Mello

My partner, my friend, my labelmate to the end

I'll always remember how you brought the light in

Telling the world what it do, through all of your songs

Heard I just can't imagine life here, since you gone

This is my cry for you, this is Cl'Che's cry for you

Another Southside soldier gone

[Chorus - 2x]
