[00:04.030]Yo, what up, my nigga?
[00:31.050]You know, I was in the hood
[00:35.110]I just thought I'd stop by and holler at you for a minute
[00:38.350]Pour out a little liquor or somethin'
[00:40.720]Nigga, we done been through a lot of shit together
[00:41.850]From runnin' these streets to bein' down for whatever
[00:44.350]And now that you're gone I got a whole lot of shit to tell ya
[00:48.520]Things I should've said way back when we was younger
[00:50.960]Remember when we used to roll hand in hand?
[00:53.640]And now I'm trippin' on how I really miss you, man
[00:56.950]And remember when you and me would say
[00:58.190]We'd get up out this hood and everything would be okay
[01:01.940]It's all good now
[01:04.310]My nigga, we out the hood now
[01:05.690]We had the same ideas, but not the same careers
[01:09.060]We shared the same old laugh, but not the same tears
[01:13.860]You were my homie, my stoney, my Rollie
[01:16.540]My nigga and never placed no bitch befo' me
[01:19.600]Man, I swear to God I love for that shit
[01:22.530]Why'd you have to get hit? Where was I? What time was it?
[01:25.900]You were supposed to get older with me
[01:27.150]On stage, hands on shoulders with me
[01:30.650]Coppin' 'em Range Rovers with me
[01:33.200]Sittin' on thangs and smokin' trees
[01:36.080]And if it wasn't for the will that God had made
[01:40.190]I'd turn back the hands of time and take your place
[01:41.560]Sittin' here sippin' on this Hennessey
[01:44.560]Just thinkin' about what you meant to me, my nigga
[01:47.810]Even though you're gone, you will always be my nigga
[01:52.420]Though you made it home, I'm still missin' you, my nigga
[01:56.600]I'm feelin' like the timing was wrong, my nigga
[01:58.350]I know you're smilin' down sayin', Carry on, my nigga
[02:07.560]Sometimes my nights can get long, my nigga
[02:08.990]Sometimes I feel God did me wrong, my nigga
[02:10.050]So I had to write a song, my nigga
[02:11.170]Just to let you know that you're still my nigga
[02:13.290]I wish, I wish, I wish
[02:15.050]I wish, I wish, I wish
[02:16.850]Your little son is lookin' at me like, Where's my daddy?
[02:19.410]And your thirteen-year old daughter is mad 'cuz she understands
[02:21.150]Promised your mama I'd take care of the family
[02:24.530]But she's so hurt, she turns away my helpin' hands
[02:26.960]Damn, I wish your ass was here, my nigga
[02:29.710]To grow that gray beard and smoke that cigar, my nigga
[02:33.020]And we would talk about you gettin' up out this game
[02:35.760]And you would tell me how it keeps callin' your name
[02:38.560]We used to ride, ride, ride
[02:40.750]Never afraid to die, die, die
[02:42.380]But some times we'd cry, cry, cry
[02:45.000]Askin' the Lord, why, why, why
[02:47.740]They're tearin' down these projects
[02:50.990]We were homies for like twenty thug years
[02:52.300]Sat in church and cried the same thug tears
[02:54.420]You remember when Vibe World Premier
[02:56.790]How we used to share the same old gear
[03:00.840]And remember when you and me would say
[03:03.530]We'd get up out this hood and everything would be okay
[03:06.520]It's all good now
[03:08.390]My nigga, we out the hood now
[03:10.580]It's so easy for folks to say, Rob, just live on
[03:15.690]When I'm dyin' every second that you're gone
[03:18.810]Nevertheless, I try my best to be strong
[03:19.810]Hopin' you said your prayers before you went on home
[03:24.370]We done stood on these blocks and just shot the breeze
[03:26.740]We'd slap-box dead in the middle of streets
[03:28.860]And if a fight broke out, you would take up for me
[03:32.540]Now all I have left are these ghetto memories
[03:34.860]I wish, I wish, I wish
[03:38.030]I wish, I wish, I wish
[03:40.900]Uh, uh, yo' dog, I can't explain how I miss you
[03:44.580]We stayed together, coppin' cane, poppin' pistols
[03:46.140]I miss you most, puttin' the doo-rag over your bean head
[03:48.020]Even out the hood on the scene you brag
[03:50.700]Comin' up off the fiends wit bags, runnin' up out the cleanest Jag
[03:54.630]You was the closest nigga I had
[03:57.260]Look how we stayed aces hustled, made big faces
[03:59.880]I wish we could trade places
[04:01.180]F**k givin' you ice I'd rather give you life
[04:03.240]And the things that I had, I'd give you twice
[04:06.810]What the deal, my nigga? I know you holdin' it down
[04:11.230]If you could see me you would say, I'm talkin' soft right now
[04:14.350]But it's hard for me to say when I'ma see you again
[04:16.600]And I know it's f**ked up, I gotta talk through this pen
[04:19.600]But you'd died for the love of the dough
[04:22.090]The love of the block sixteen you was runnin' the spot
[04:25.150]Boy, your mama used to hate how we stood on the curb
[04:28.140]Hangin' with wild thug niggas smokin' the herb
[04:30.450]I'm gonna keep pourin' this liquor and that's my word
[04:34.440]This here is for niggas that be flippin' them birds, word up
[04:37.190]Even though you're gone you will always be my nigga
[04:39.560]Even though you're home I'm still missin you, my nigga
[04:43.370]I'm feelin' like the timing was wrong, my nigga
[04:45.060](I'm feelin' like timing was wrong)
[04:47.110]I know you're smilin' down sayin', Carry on, my nigga
[04:51.300](Radio, please don't take the nigga out my song)
[04:53.790]Sometimes my nights can get long, my nigga
[04:56.720](Let it play on, play on, play on, play on, play on)
[04:58.720]Sometimes I feel God did me wrong, my nigga
[05:00.030]So I had to write a song, my nigga
[05:01.160]Just to let you know that you're still my nigga
