|
I do And I ain't never gon' forget you, knahmsayin? |
|
For as long as |
|
I'm alive [Verse 1] |
|
For all my peoples gone... from nine to five |
|
As long as |
|
I'm alive my niggaz we gon', be strong |
|
Now peep the song, the streets is gone, to each his own |
|
From money spent to every song that |
|
I was featured on |
|
It's for the block and we gon' keep it goin |
|
For all my close friends gone, givin me energy to speak my poems |
|
Rest in peace to the |
|
God Al Woods |
|
Kept my self-esteem high since a child in the hood |
|
I was raised on the |
|
Westside, wildin for goods |
|
Same cats that used to kick it now be killin each other |
|
Comin from different neighborhoods and not feelin each other |
|
The way they used to loud talkin, last words is nigga |
|
I'll shoot you |
|
The streets is eighty-five, cause nowadays you might get popped in the back at the party tryin to flee to survive |
|
For all my friends that travelled to the other side |
|
You'll be forever on my mind as long as |
|
I'm alive [Chorus] (As long as I'm alive) |
|
Tell all my homies that |
|
I'm lost in the storm, |
|
I'ma keep it movin on (As long as I'm alive) |
|
You'll always have a piece of my heart |
|
Piece of my mind, and a peace of my art (As long as I'm alive) |
|
You shall forever be mourned |
|
I'm thinkin bout y'all every mornin (As long as I'm alive) |
|
I shall never forget the good times and all the places we went [Verse 2] |
|
In high school you was my closest homey, although from different crews |
|
We used to chop it up bout all the shit that we was into |
|
From girls to guns, and situations in our circle |
|
And it hurts everytime when |
|
I think about the day they merked you |
|
You left a lonely spot |
|
Broke down when |
|
I heard it like damn why they have to leave the homey shot? |
|
My fond memories are commonly remembered |
|
Good times and in my mind it's like |
|
I speak to you spiritually |
|
And to my favorite |
|
Uncle Franklin |
|
Harper You shall never be forgotten for as long as |
|
I'm alive and talkin |
|
Inside a soul darkened, due to circumstances |
|
These past years done had some friends of mine who died from cancer |
|
It's messed up never knowin your chances |
|
And Tammy |
|
I wish you was here so you could see how much we been advancin |
|
And your management is much missed, but |
|
I know you watchin |
|
Rest in peace, little |
|
Ann George and |
|
Les Watson |
|
And I'll gladly sing this song with pride |
|
Cause all y'all forever in my heart as long as |
|
I'm alive, you hear me? |
|
I'll gladly sing this song with pride |
|
Cause all y'all forever in my heart as long as |
|
I'm alive [Chorus] [samples from the movie "Juice"] [Planet Asia speaking over samples] |
|
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust |
|
Your memory'll live on, with me you can trust |
|
Dust to dust and ashes to ashes |
|
You're on my mind more for sure as time passes [Verse 3] |
|
Sometimes |
|
I find myself stressin, then realize at least |
|
I'm livin |
|
So as long as |
|
I'm alive, it's for y'all |
|
I'm reppin |
|
Until I'm back to the essence, and if it wasn't for half of my peoples gone |
|
I probably wouldn't practice my profession |
|
From all the gunfights, and white chalk, funerals wakes and white cops |
|
Lockin my niggaz soon as the night pops off |
|
Nowadays gotta be strong to survive |
|
But I be representin my peoples as long as |
|
I'm alive [Chorus] |
