I heard you cry at night when you woke from dreaming about them
pain in your heart I see it in your eyes
that's why you kill steal and destroy no love inside
except for your brother
I know you mourn for your mother father and sister
you was there so ain't no way you forgetting
don't let this city trap you sister leave
don't let it chain you to that corner this that shit you were warned of
the devil tempts with illusions of money from selling drugs
I heard women have hoes to so it's pimp or be pimped
sell feline or dick from egg plant to shrimp
there's a fine line of appreciating blessings and worshiping what you get
you own you so let me ask you this
who influences your life you or the corner?
the ignorance blowing smoke in the trap?
or wise words being preached from time to time by diplomats
you use to tell me not to be a hypocrite
yet you can't resist the urge to pull your gun off your waist and hit a crip
sister get a grip
you losing your balance thoughts scattered heart nonexistent
don't know what to believe in your mind body and soul distant
let me tell you this
please don't forget it
remember when you was at GG house and you seen the generations from pictures on the wall
you tried to hide it but I saw tears roll down
you tried not to ball
remember the overwhelming feeling of loyalty respect love and humbleness
I know you do it was humbling
you tried to talk but couldn't stop from mumbling
see I know your thoughts
I knew what you tried to say that day
what your body wouldn't let you convey
don't keep your feelings locked up because that mean you are too
it ain't you against the world because you got you
plus me that's two
I love you sister I know you gone now but I hope you knew
you told me I only stayed because I owed you
nah I just knew the old you the you
you keep locked up inside you were terrified
to speak your mind
now you dead at 19 around where life supposed to be
you peaked when you should've ducked
guess you was square out of luck
ironic you were blood but the red death struck
forgot the safety on when yout piece was tucked
It's sad to see this generations got to cope with what float
smoke in your lungs can't quit from coughing
rest in peace you shaking that pack of cancer sticks gone make you turn in the coffin
you the reason I wrote what I spoke
because every time I go back home I see you so often
still posted on the block stagnant no emotions
you never had to tell me how you feel because you knew I know how you live
know how you deal
know who you killed
blood stained side walks rose surrounded by crack in the concrete jungle
I wish we could talk just one more time
I want to see that little girl inside walk one more time
and shine you was a dime
fuckin with nickels who paid a pretty penny
I thought I taught you better but nows your time
so rest in peace
I prayed to God that if he send you to hell I take your place
and you go to heaven skipping your second chance
the way you lived had me speaking to him in advance
