Lookin out my window hypnotized by the rain
In a trance reminicing bout the soldiers slain
Fighting wars in the brain trying to maintain
Hoping mama won`t have to feel the pain
Looking at a closed casket or a picture frame
Even shorties that you banged won`t forget your name
Still feel strange how times do change
We doing our thing and in our minds you remain
As I uncap a 5th of Henny for my soldiers that`s a memory
Thinking `bout the fun times we had together
Blazin` `till the sunshine
Drinkin` the cheap wine
I know I never find a ? of the same kind
But at the same time, I`m constantly writin` eulogies
For my big homey locs and my loco g`s
Since `73 it seems death followed me to my man ?Tyshan Wells?
Rest in Peace
Chorus
Oh why oh why oh why
It`s always the good ones that have to die
Oh why oh why oh why
Bob Marley die, ?Jacob Miller? die
(repeat)
Another day another burial
Got you wondering `bout the day when he bury you
Tear drops stain the wally`s that you rockin`
On the block candles burn guns popin`
I just came from the cemetery where my dog was buried
Drop some buds in the earth to grow in they memory
Thinkin` `bout the fun times we had as fam
Remembering the beef we got into but never ran
I seen a kid get ate up by his own man one time
Hid behind a car now look and duck and bust a ?
On some Harlem Nights script
But this some real life shit
Heard his scull split when you seen the slug hit
I watched the vultures swarmin`
Prayin` on his garments
They stay robbin` dead men cuz they don`t give `em problems
Heard the good die young be it by God or gun
Paint my mural on the wall sayin` my job was done
I shed tears when I hear news from my peers
That my nigga Shawn Crady was no longer here
Had me mad at my girl ready to take it to the world
Drinkin` liquor `till I`m damn near `bout to `url
Got a jewel from my dog locked up in jail
Told me son is in the essence resting
All is well
While you still here: accomplish your deads
Cuz you never know when it`s your time to leave
Repeat chorus several times
