I Miss My Homies

I want ya'll to play this at funerals in the hood
Til all this black on black crime stop
Some say the blind lead the blind
But in the ghetto you never know
When it's gon' be yo timeSittin' at the ghetto thinkin' 'bout
All my homies passed away
(Uunngh)
Candy painted Cadillacs and triple gold
That's how me and my boys rolledHow could it be?
Somebody took my boy from me
My best friend's gone
And I'm so all aloneI really miss my homies
Even though they gone away
I know you in a better place
And I hope to see ya soon somedayI used to hang with my boy even slang with my boy
Used to bang with my boy, goddam I miss my boy
We started out youngstas in the park throwin birds
In your hearse, damn it's sad to see my nigga in the dirtThe game got me workin', got me perkin', never jerkin'
Still blowin' dolja fo ya cause I know you up there workin'
Ya little baby's cool and ya baby's mama straight
But today's a sad day to see the t-shirt with ya faceFrom the cradle to the grave, from the streets we used to fall
In the park you liked to ball, put yo name upon the wall
In the projects you's a legend on the street you was a star
But it's sad to see my homeboy ridin' in that black carA lotta soldiers done died, a lotta mothers done cried
You done took yo piece of the pie but you was too young to retire
Why soldiers ride for yo name leave it vain
Some Gs never change, damn they killed you for some change
Smile for my homie Kevin Miller my boy Randall
The ghetto persons that lost they loved ones to these ghetto scandalsTake a minute to smile for the dead
(Uunngh)
Smile for the dead
(RIP 2Pac, Makaveli)
All my homies who done
Made it to the crossroads
(Biggie Smalls)How could it be?
Somebody took my boy from me
(It's like I can't believe you gone)
My best friend's gone
(Sometimes I feel like I can't go on)
And I'm so all alone(Everytime I see something you done left
I really miss my homies
(It just remind me, more and more of you, dawg)
Even though they gone away
(I just keep reminiscin')I know you in a better place
('Cause I know you alright)
And I hope to see ya soon someday
(And I keep smilin', knowin')
(I'm a see you in the crossroads)We used to grip on the grain and flip them candy toys
But I'd give up all that bullshit if I could get back my boy
Off in the club smokin' weed til 3, hollerin' at the hoes
Spendin' 4000 dollars on me on gators and clothesWhen I turned to rap, he had to chase the game
Nigga told me, "C, leave that dope 'cause rappin' is yo thang"
I ain't gone even lie, some nights I ride and cry
Wonderin' why the real niggas always the ones to dieSo I just smoke my weed and try to clear my mind
I wish that I had the power to turn back the hands of time
I wonder if there's a heaven up there for real Gs
For all the niggas in the game that be sellin keys
I keep my memories, try to keep my head stromg
But baby it's hard to be strong, when yo main homie goneEven though you gone away
(Even though you gone)
(You ain't never gon be forgotten)
I know you in a better place
('Cause as long as I'm here)
(You gon' live through me and other tru playas)I really miss my homies
Even though they gone away
I know you in a better place
And I hope to see ya soon somedayI'm just sittin' here dazed thinkin' 'bout all the times we had
Thinkin' the past, some was good and some was bad
Remember Dante? It was a group of us, just a group of five
Now three dead, one in jail, it seem right now I'm the only one aliveTo all my soldiers before me, may y'all rest in peace
When he took three, took my soul, just the bodies
He at the crossroads guide us out to the rest of me
Wishin' I could rewind time like demos
Me and you gettin girls, writin' down numbers like memos
Makin' million dollar bets, makin' all our money stretch like limosEven though I smile, it's sad but they say gangstas can't cry
But if I close my eyes and visualize me together
Then I suddenly wanna smile
To see you laid down when it's yo time, when your time was up
You never seen your child but he's here to remind usEven though you was wrong, I never could belive that that was true
You was with me forever, you could check my rest in peace tattoos
See me and C and P forever gon' be ridin' and thuggin'
Rest in peace to all the ones that didn't make it
And rest in peace to my brother we gon' miss you(I love these fools)
I know you in a better place
(Every time I get on my knees)
And I hope to see ya soon somedayI pray for you, I'm glad you in a better place
I hope I see ya soon, ain't no more killin'
Ain't no more fights and ain't no more tears
