Oh my mother was tight ah...was tight. |

My Poppa was tight. |

Was 10 years old. |

But every once in a while, he come back you know. ... |
|
I trip! Just like couple of weeks ago, |
|
I was sleeping my place, and then my mother and auntie |
|
Nina came... |

How would they feel? |
|

Hawai'i. He loved music brah. |
|
He had a massive heart attack. |
|
The way that--just depression brah. |

He was real depressed. |
|
I was on the same course he was going. |
|
And he knew that too. |

And that's why he came back and tell me that "eh"--'cuase he |
|
DID come back and told me that "Eh, 'cause, you know, no be scared. There's people here for help you brah". |

It's kinda like telling me, if he had them...he would still be here. |
|
I still believe if he had called me, he'd be alive. ...' |
|
Cause he died of a broken heart brah. |
|
How would he feel? |
|
Would his smiles be content rather then cry? |
|
Cry for the gods, cry for the people, cry for the land that was taken away, and then yet you'll find |
