Fallen Soldiers

[Intro] What, I'ma live for my niggas I'ma shine for my niggas [Verse 1] How can I express the sorrow, I learn to dread tomorrow Had to see my nigga Yammy dead—he can rest with honor 'Cause he was reppin on his quest for dollars I was the one who took him Uptown, with someone into measure powder I treasure our memories together Hard to believe I'ma never see you again But I'ma make you breathe with a pen So everyone can see you, my friend, in fly sneakers again Life is sweet and kinda deep when it ends Still remember you beefin' over bullshit calls at basketball games cheatin' Yo, my cipher ain't complete, I'm sorry for that argument we had On twelfth street over a sale, knowing well that you was seekin dough as well We made up the same night, through the years remained tight The same love, same drugs, rockin' the same Nikes Now that you gone, I'm here reppin' your name right, yo [Chorus] Did you ever lose a nigga you love? Then ask yourself is there a heaven for thugs? And will you be forgiven when your spirit is judged This song is dedicated to my niggas above Did you ever lose a nigga you love? Then ask yourself is there a heaven for thugs? And will you be forgiven when your spirit is judged This song is dedicated to my niggas above [Verse 2] To my cousin Bam, you my fuckin' man, I find it hard to understand You gone—your physical form is dormant I'm lost like the Bulls without Jordan Tell my man J.B. from Edgemere I said peace Son, I live a thug life, I clutch mics With the same intensity that I used to crush white G-Fresh was at your funeral (Word), son I felt it And if I start cryin when I rhyme I can't help it Analyze, never think I forgot you, you my heart And even death can't keep the two of us apart From day one, watchin' cartoons, shootin' playguns Who ever thought we see this day come? Tell my moms I miss her—give her a kiss And tell her that her youngest child done her proud I know she heard about me runnin' wild Y'all gone now, but livin in my memory Fallen soldiers, sleepin' in serenity [Chorus] Did you ever lose a nigga you love? Then ask yourself is there a heaven for thugs? And will you be forgiven when your spirit is judged This song is dedicated to my niggas above Did you ever lose a nigga you love? Then ask yourself is there a heaven for thugs? And will you be forgiven when your spirit is judged This song is dedicated to my niggas above [Verse 3] Killa Black, what up, my nigga? I know you chillin' with my nigga Ill Will Inside a ghetto heaven building With a MAC-11, still in your jeans, screamin' Infamous Queens Forty-First Side kid, you know me I know the O-Z's are whiter there, pussy much tighter there 'Pac and Eazy-E coming through on low riders there The same old thing, except there ain't no pain Your brother Havoc doing his thing, yo, for real It's all good in the hood, the Escalade with the wood-grain Son was never misunderstood, dearly departed Hear me acknowledge all my people who passed Whether holdin' heat, or in it for cash Some of y'all led sinister paths, some are pure like Dominican raw, knockin' on Heaven's door The only thing you ever ran from in life is law I reminisce your memories, for you this Hennessy we pour [Chorus] Did you ever lose a nigga you love? Then ask yourself is there a heaven for thugs? And will you be forgiven when your spirit is judged This song is dedicated to my niggas above Did you ever lose a nigga you love? Then ask yourself is there a heaven for thugs? And will you be forgiven when your spirit is judged This song is dedicated to my niggas, my niggas [Outro] Word!
