| «Ay-aiyyyy, if only for one
|
| Nah, niiight, niiight, niiight, niiiiiight
|
| Ahh one night, if only for one… niiiiiiiiight»
|
| I wish I could have my loved ones back
|
| Cause I’d love to have my loved ones back (if only for one niiiight)
|
| We don’t have to feel it like that
|
| Cause I hate to see the pain comin back (if only for one niiiight)
|
| Nobody get killed on the block
|
| No reason to pack the steel on the block (if only for one niiiight)
|
| We can get to make it to the top
|
| And see my dawgs make it out the cell block (if only for one niiiight)
|
| Maintaininnnnn, there’ll be no mo' complaininnnnn
|
| It’s alright, if only for one niiiight
|
| Maintaininnnnn, tryin to keep it from raininnnnn
|
| It’s alright
|
| I swear, deep down I be sinkin
|
| The same things over and over they never get better
|
| I miss my niggas, rain fallin
|
| 9 times out of 10 it don’t miss my nigga
|
| Damn, I hope this state of mind’ll never leave again
|
| I wanna see my nigga Screw get to breathe again
|
| And wanna see Dinky and my nigga Donny break free again
|
| On the block, never thinkin 'bout plex
|
| Twenty-fo' years of mine I’ve been blessed
|
| Dawg, don’t you get it twisted
|
| Cause 19 years of those have been stress
|
| Never thought that I’d see this time
|
| And it ain’t no way that I’mma let it get by
|
| Ain’t no lie, deep down inside
|
| Just to hold it close it wanna make me cry
|
| No mo' drama, likin no laws
|
| No mo' jail, no more collect calls
|
| No mo' hate from these roach-ass niggas
|
| And my dawgs on the block’ll ball 'til we fall
|
| Plus Peewee woulda never got locked
|
| Plus Greedo woulda never got shot
|
| Plus Mello woulda still been here
|
| With a white Kangol about to body rock the pen
|
| Misty, then the rest of the click like
|
| Full speed then runnin without a red light
|
| Whole life I’ll be one of a kind
|
| Go deep in the wind I promise I got my head right
|
| And I hate it’s gon' be like this
|
| I wonder why everything come to me like this
|
| And if only fo' one night I finally get my smile
|
| Lord, I don’t wanna leave like this
|
| It’ll be nice to have Emo and Jody and LL back
|
| My nigga Best and his big brother E. Roy Love
|
| Dem people ain’t never comin' back
|
| But if only for one night
|
| My nigga could make a decision he shoulda made
|
| Make it where the situation turned out another way
|
| And ain’t a day go by
|
| I don’t wish I didn’t have to miss my momma
|
| This ain’t livin my nigga this just drama
|
| If only for the night when the storm’ll live calmer
|
| Cause seem like they wanna give a lifetime sentence
|
| To a nigga with a pistol and a pound of marijuana
|
| Wish it was legal to be in public wit’cha eyes red
|
| I’ve seen a lot of B.I. |
| cases go fed
|
| Got pulled over, no seatbelt on the shoulder
|
| Let to a 70 year stand and coda
|
| If only for the dead nigga
|
| Didn’t have to wait to make a safe walk to the sto'
|
| Just to get his niggas and a six-pack
|
| But there never been a cakewalk to the sto'
|
| Fuck around and see the head concussion
|
| If the hood decide you gotta fake walk to the sto'
|
| They fully fronted to everybody with animosity
|
| Bitches’ll take 'em 'fore they walk to the sto'
|
| A nigga from the Southside, and a nigga from the Northside
|
| And a nigga from the Eastside
|
| Could all get along with each other, like we knew each other mother
|
| No reason to wanna take our own lives
|
| By losin a son, losin a daughter, losin a child
|
| I’m battered by life, too rude to smile
|
| I liked it better when I used to smile
|
| If only fo' one mo' night |
