[00:00.67]They ask me am i okay, they ask me if i'm happy
[00:03.35]Are they asking me that because of the shit thats been thrown at me
[00:06.66]Or am i just a little snappy and they genuinely care
[00:09.87]Dudey, most of my life its just been me and you there

[00:50.71]Difficult as it sounds, dudey
[00:54.07]I drop a tear in the rhyme
[00:55.46]The day you find it is the day i stop missing Deshan
[00:58.10]Halting, it was written, it was weoven for a soldier to leave so suddenly

[01:17.85]Dudey, thats what we called each other
[01:19.87]I dont know where it came from but it just stuck with us
[01:22.56]We was always brothers
[01:24.09]Never thought about each others skin colours
[01:26.43]Till one day we was walking up the block in the summer
[01:29.47]It was like 90 degress, i was catching a sunburn
[01:33.53]Tryna walk under the trees just to get me some comfort
[01:35.86]Im moaning i just wanna get home and i look over and your shirt is off
[01:39.46]Im like youre gonna fry, youre like no i won't im black stupid
[01:43.32]And black people they got melatonin, in their skin
[01:46.53]We dont burn, meanwhile my face is glowing, and i feel like im on fire
[01:50.19]And the entire time youre laughing at me
[01:53.29]And snapping at me with your shirt bastard
[01:55.54]And i still have to get you back for that shit
[01:58.37]And by the way them playboy rings me mother stole from you, well nate finally got them back

[02:09.42]It still ain't registered yet
[02:11.14]But you can bet, your legacy theyll never forget
[02:13.88]The motor-city motown, hiphop vet, hiphop shop dreads, it dont stop there
[02:20.55]Yeah, as difficult as it sounds
[02:22.85]Dudey
[02:23.51]I drop a tear in the rhyme
[02:24.83]The day you find it is the day i stop missing Deshan
[02:27.22]Halting, it was written, it was weoven for a soldier to leave so suddenly
[02:32.95]Got me wide open
[02:34.63]I could die, take a soul so dope and
[02:38.12]Turn around leave us all heartbroken
[02:39.96]Know that youre saying, keep going, be a man, no emotion
[02:43.14]Its your dudey, till we meet again, dudey
[02:46.64]And this may sounds a little strange but I'mma tell it
[02:49.24]I found a jacket that you left at my wedding, i picked it up to smell it
[02:52.69]I wrapped it up in plastic, until i put it in glass, and hang it up in the hallway so i can always look at it
[02:59.27]And as for all and me in D-12 we feel like fuck rap
[03:02.67]It feels like our general just fucking died in our lap
[03:05.72]We shut off all our pages, all our cell numbers, our chains, our 2-ways
[03:09.12]Are in the trash, so some cats'll have to find a new way
[03:12.57]And i know that it feels like the dreams will die with you today
[03:15.31]But the truth is, theyre all still here and you ain't
[03:18.77]Purple gang, you gotta keep pressing on, dont ever give up your dream dog
[03:22.85]I got love for you all
[03:24.98]And dudey, its true you brought people together who never would of been in the same room if it wasn't for you
[03:30.83]You were the peace maker dudey, i know sometimes you were moody
[03:34.29]But you hated confrontation and truly hated the fueding
[03:37.39]But you were down for yours whenever it came to scrapping
[03:40.78]If it had to happen it had to happen
[03:43.68]Believe me i know youre the one who taught me to throw them bones back on dresden
[03:47.49]From nicking cars to paintballing getting arrested
[03:50.77]To sitting across from each other in cells laughing and jesting
[03:54.00]They tried to hit us for 5 years for that no question
[03:57.15]I guess them hookers and bums thats we shot up didn't show up for court
[04:00.50]So we got off on a technicality, left sweating
[04:03.70]Me you and whats his face, i forgot his fucking name
[04:06.80]Shame he even came to your funeral, he betrayed our team
[04:10.28]And if i seem him again I'mma punch him in the fucking face
[04:13.27]And thats on Hayley-Jade, Whitney-lane and Alainas name
[04:16.53]I let the pistol bang once, just to lick a shot in the air for you
[04:20.85]And pour some liquor out with Obie in the parking lot
[04:23.86]At 54 just before we were supposed to get in cars to come and see you and smalls
[04:29.13]Difficult as it sounds
[04:30.70]Dudey
