| Yo, I remember Xtra P told Q-Tip don’t say the year
|
| But I’ma say the year (ohhhhh)
|
| The year is 2012
|
| And the reason I’ma say the year cause we lost somebody very special to me
|
| Very special to hip-hop, Chris Lighty
|
| We love you forever man, c’mon
|
| Ohh, where I’m from it goes down every day
|
| Ohh, but still I dream that there’s a better way
|
| Lord, e’rybody got a problem, make a couple dollars
|
| Gotta spend that on a bottle, yeah
|
| Ohh, so you can drown all your troubles away
|
| Ohh, or you can be what you’re destined to be
|
| As long as I’m breathin
|
| I’ma keep on livin for the dream I believe in
|
| Forever dreamin
|
| Uh-huh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh
|
| Whether crack wars or rap tours, we walkin them dogs with the track jaws
|
| Attack frauds, get tossed in the morgue when I blast off
|
| Past forward, my criminal task force
|
| Last cat and wish him and my path cross it’s bat-tle
|
| Talkin bad off, I mean really really bad off
|
| Let’s just say next time you see him you gon' take your hat off
|
| Look America, it’s Saigon from the Abandoned
|
| I’m probabaly one of Harriet Tubman’s great-great-great-great-grandkids
|
| What the fuck I care about John Paul or Sir Francis?
|
| That’s two original men as they dances around the answers
|
| If we a micro in the macro of crackers, the Earth cancers
|
| is willin to go against nature and suffer the circumstances
|
| I got the intel of a nigga that studies stem cells
|
| Shit’ll get ugly in Hell, it’s no way it can end well
|
| Police got a nigga barred from my own hood
|
| Sometimes I think I’m too smart for my own good
|
| Uh, it’s real
|
| I got a migraine, head throbbin, feelin pain
|
| Present outlook on life, is that there’s nothin else to gain
|
| The old-timers scold the gold miners, see I suppose
|
| He tellin all he knows once the wild Irish rose
|
| Flows form in my brain, heavy verses purgatory in vain
|
| Three on the rock, three on parole, it’s insane
|
| While workers is gettin greedier and greedier
|
| Caught my partner Black in his back, now he suffer from paraplegia
|
| Nothin gettin easier, cousin playin the game of crime
|
| I aim the 9, emphasizin, see my frame of mind
|
| Sniffin cocaine, I got a rhyme for every grain
|
| Tryin to maintain, simply tryin to stay in my lane
|
| See money comes money goes like a runny nose
|
| But when you blow it, goin to your honeys and foes
|
| I never thought I could be happier in bummier clothes
|
| Well looky here yo, what do ya know?
|
| I got a daughter in California I hardly see
|
| Even 3,000 miles away she’s a part of me
|
| For her I’ll spill every bit of blood in my arteries
|
| I’ll kill a nigga, whether he thug or he R&B
|
| And to Milan, I’m tryin to strengthen the bond with your moms
|
| Even when she buggin, I keep calm
|
| Even if I needed niggaz to write for me
|
| They couldn’t cause they wouldn’t believe in my life story
|
| Uh-uh
|
| Beautiful music!
|
| I’d like to say somethin real quick
|
| I wanna say rest in peace, to one of my close friends
|
| My former manager, Chris Lighty
|
| Did a lot for the sport, a lot for the game; |
| I salute you
|
| Y’know God always takes the ones he wants close to him
|
| You know? |
| We love you forever
|
| Hip-Hop love you forever
|
| Saigon, Canei, swervin |
