Just a Moment (feat. Quan)

This is just a moment
Dedicated to my mother
My grandmother
My father
All my **** in the pen
And all my **** that died in the struggle
Love y'all
Can we please have a moment of silence?
That's for my **** doing years of confinement
And for my soldiers that passed over, no longer livin'
That couldn't run whenever the reaper came to get 'em
Can we please pour out some liquor
Symbolizing this, take your time in to consider that
Though our thugs ain't here, the love is here
And we gon' rep till slugs kill us here
This for my dogs, stuck in the struggle, tryna gain
Smoking trauma, sniffing rah while selling cocaine
Trapped in the game that no one how to stop and get by
Delivered alive, so instead they live it to die
And can we please have a moment of peace?
For every G that fell for his flag in the streets
Blooding and thugging, folking an loc-ing, Crip-ing and creeping
Latin and King-ing or just for poor righteous teaching
As day comes and night falls
For the rest of our lives we'll miss y'all
And even though life must go on
We still mourn while wishing y'all were home
As day comes and night falls
For the rest of our lives we'll miss y'all
And even though life must go on
We still mourn while wishing y'all were home
And can we have another moment of silence?
For brothers who die from black on black violence
From here to the dark continent
Where rebels sell diamonds to clients
All through the world got little black girls dying
And can we please pour some more liquors?
For Will, Mokeem, Bar, Pappy, my ****
Here's another warriors song from Nasty and Quan
It's to him I pass the baton to carry this on
Street's disciples, salute to those who gone with bullets
And I promise to rhyme and Quan gon' rep this life to the fullest
And can we please have a moment of truth?
For soldiers and troops away with helmets and boots
And families back home that pray they make it home safe
Hoping they don't get hit by a stray or missiles
This is just a moment to let you all know that we miss you
Mommy, I'm still here wishing I was dead with you, let's take 'em home
As day comes and night falls
For the rest of our lives we'll miss y'all
And even though life must go on
We still mourn while wishing y'all were home
As day comes and night falls
For the rest of our lives we'll miss y'all
And even though life must go on
We still mourn while wishing y'all were home
And can we please have a moment to mourn?
For Pac, Biggie and Pun 'cause through us they live on
Jam Master Jay, Freaky Tah and Aaliyah
Big L and Left Eye, when we die we hope to see you
Can we please have a moment for children?
Who got raped and murdered or trapped in this system
Who never knew they father, never learned to dream
But was guided by drug dealers, killers and crack fiends
For single mothers that's forced to play mom and dad
Busting her ass to give her kids shit she never had
For my **** in the pen hoping rhymes will get 'em signed
So when released they can say bye to a life of crime
For every mother that held her son in the street bleeding
Crying the song of sorrow too dark and deep for speaking
Just a moment, outside the day to day stuggle
To let the ones we really care about, know that we love 'em
As day comes and night falls
For the rest of our lives we'll miss y'all
And even though life must go on
We still mourn while wishing y'all were home
As day comes and night falls
For the rest of our lives we'll miss y'all
And even though life must go on
We still mourn while wishing y'all were home
Yo
To my baby brother Tech
You know you was Lil' Dex, ****
In the feds
Big bro holding it down for you, boy
Just come home
Love you, my ****
I do this for you and me
When I shine, you shine
And most important, to my sister Tia
Out there in Iraq
Just know that we got the babies
My nephews gon' be fine
Put my life and my blood on that
We love y'all
One
