They ask me am i okay, they ask me if i'm happy
Are they asking me that because of the shit thats been thrown at me
Or am i just a little snappy and they genuinely care
Dudey, most of my life its just been me and you there
And i continuously stare at pictures of you
I never got to say i love you as much as i wanted to But i do
Yeah, i say it now when you can't hear me
What the fuck good does that do me now
But somehow i know youre near me, your presence
Oh i went and dropped some presents off at easter to them
Two little beautiful boy of yours to try to ease their minds a little
And dog youll never believe this
But Sheronda actually talks to me now, jesus
And everyone else is just trying to pick up the pieces
Man, how could you touch so many fucking lives and just leave us
They say grievance has its way of affecting everyone different
If its true
How the fuck im supposed to get over you
Difficult as it sounds, dudey
I drop a tear in the rhyme
The day you find it is the day i stop missing Deshan
Halting, it was written, it was weoven for a soldier to leave so suddenly
Got me wide open
I could die, take a soul so dope and
Turn around leave us all heartbroken
Know that youre saying, keep going, be a man, no emotion
Its your dudey, till we meet again, dudey
Dudey, thats what we called each other
I dont know where it came from but it just stuck with us
We was always brothers
Never thought about each others skin colours
Till one day we was walking up the block in the summer
It was like 90 degress, i was catching a sunburn
Tryna walk under the trees just to get me some comfort
Im moaning i just wanna get home and i look over and your shirt is off
Im like youre gonna fry, youre like no i won't im black stupid
And black people they got melatonin, in their skin
We dont burn, meanwhile my face is glowing, and i feel like im on fire
And the entire time youre laughing at me
And snapping at me with your shirt bastard
And i still have to get you back for that shit
And by the way them playboy rings me mother stole from you, well nate finally got them back
Shit, that mustve been at least 16 years ago
Well ill put them in your cask-ah moving past it
It still ain't registered yet
But you can bet, your legacy theyll never forget
The motor-city motown, hiphop vet, hiphop shop dreads, it dont stop there
Yeah, as difficult as it sounds
Dudey
I drop a tear in the rhyme
The day you find it is the day i stop missing Deshan
Halting, it was written, it was weoven for a soldier to leave so suddenly
Got me wide open
I could die, take a soul so dope and
Turn around leave us all heartbroken
Know that youre saying, keep going, be a man, no emotion
Its your dudey, till we meet again, dudey
And this may sounds a little strange but I'mma tell it
I found a jacket that you left at my wedding, i picked it up to smell it
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
And as for all and me in D-12 we feel like fuck rap
It feels like our general just fucking died in our lap
We shut off all our pages, all our cell numbers, our chains, our 2-ways
Are in the trash, so some cats'll have to find a new way
And i know that it feels like the dreams will die with you today
But the truth is, theyre all still here and you ain't
Purple gang, you gotta keep pressing on, dont ever give up your dream dog
I got love for you all
And dudey, its true you brought people together who never would of been in the same room if it wasn't for you
You were the peace maker dudey, i know sometimes you were moody
But you hated confrontation and truly hated the fueding
But you were down for yours whenever it came to scrapping
If it had to happen it had to happen
Believe me i know youre the one who taught me to throw them bones back on dresden
From nicking cars to paintballing getting arrested
To sitting across from each other in cells laughing and jesting
They tried to hit us for 5 years for that no question
I guess them hookers and bums thats we shot up didn't show up for court
So we got off on a technicality, left sweating
Me you and whats his face, i forgot his fucking name
Shame he even came to your funeral, he betrayed our team
And if i seem him again I'mma punch him in the fucking face
And thats on Hayley-Jade, Whitney-lane and Alainas name
I let the pistol bang once, just to lick a shot in the air for you
And pour some liquor out with Obie in the parking lot
At 54 just before we were supposed to get in cars to come and see you and smalls
Difficult as it sounds
Dudey
