So Much Death

Everyday I sit and wonder why I lost my daddy so young
Just reminisce think how me and him had so much fun
Teach me man to man things 'bout the game
Let me know always, let 'em hang me 'bout my change

Never thought that come close to home, I was wrong
Never that my daddy was going away, I was wrong
Him and my momma went through they little stages
Always fight threw 'em out and made him walk the streets

But it was alright
'Cause I knew he would be back tomorrow with the sorrow
She would take the frown away let him stay
All he wanted me to do was to be cool, stay in school
But the dude that I hanged with rearranged the whole attitude

When he died I start hustlin' to get paid
I did the opposite, I know you turnin' in your grave
When I pray I know you hear me at night
It ain't right but I ain't white and all I got is the street life

I know you lookin' down sayin' you ain't raise me this way
Don't be mad, we'll talk about when I come one day
Until we meet, I'll keep your name on the streets
From son to dad, "I love you, rest in peace"

So much death up on the city streets
Until we meet my soldiers, rest in peace

I never understood life and how I got here
I just live and try to learn till it's my time to disappear
And see really where my homies at on the other side
Is there a heaven or a hell or is it all a lie?

Make believe I ain't gone believe till I see
Is there really a heaven for a true G'
If it is I know Sterling made it, Pimp made it
My daddy made it, they was real but got player hated

Pimp you're gone but your spirit ain't my nigga
You remembered as a legend, couldn't nobody out rock it
You made that style that these rookies tryin' to imitate
They fake as fake, I'm here to put them in they place

The one only pimp, one gone stop tryin' to be him
And I got a glock with seventeen for that dog pimp
Ester did Hec 'cause she took Kin, I'm took her
When you get that he gone stomp you
And when I get there, we gone jump you

Otis from the thirteenth bit the dust
It's a must we strap up and retaliate in a rush
Bust flush that beef like shit
Spend that bin just hit and hit till start the click

Sterling lived a soldier, died a soldier
Had respect for knockin' heads clean off the shoulder
From the magnolia, all the players from that U.P.T.
1, 2, 3 that truth to the game, rest in peace

So much death up on the city streets
Until we meet my soldiers rest in peace

Pay attention to this song, once you're gone, you're gone
It ain't no comin' back, once you're home, you're home
Everyday I hit the door, my momma preachin' to me
Doogie stop runin' the streets, son, do it for me

She know I'm 'bout money, strictly about ballin'
The life you're livin' I hope your daddy ain't callin'
That things I go through, I think restin' is best
I'm chillin' while I'm in flesh but I'll be happy when I rest

I got people to see, people to meet, people to greet
Just peep what the other world got for me
Is it joy like they see or nothing at all?
I'm ball till I fall with my back against the wall

Chillin' on the block till the man come get me
Mark Fuller is a chillin' spot, 'cause I bringin' blunts with me

So much death up on the city streets
Until we meet my soldiers rest in peace
So much death up on the city streets
Until we meet my soldiers rest in peace
