I'm sure they'll love you when you're gone but let's just keep it real here what good is all the flowers why not send it while they still here lost too many homies in New Orleans I can't heal here just know that if you ever run up on me I don't feel fear seen death around the corner I really aint surprised I seen gangsters go to church while the preacher prey on a child I don't condone nothing we grew up in the land of the wild so if it's my time to go I look the reaper in his eyes I'm like
Why you had to leave me all alone why the real one's always gotta die so young I wear my heart on my sleeve just to feel it go numb for all my homies that I lost I'm about to go dumb till they remember they gone remember you I write your name in the sky so if the reaper comes just be waiting on the other side
Rest in peace let me next to Dee far away from Keith close to Rita open casket so everyone can see let me dream maybe be condemned to eternal sleep but I believe somewhere there's a heaven for a G like Pac I wonder how many fell victim to the streets you ask me I seen dozens coming from that Lafitte lost my cousin til this day I aint really getting no sleep I carry on cause you know this life ain't built for the weak I often fantasize of changing the hands of time funny how my fathers crimes reflecting his only child I'm to old to try to hide this pain I feel inside cursed with a broken soul trapped beneath a fallen sky I'm just tryna breath catch me huffing and puffing don't mind me I'm exhausted tryna find peace living in a city full of killers don't remind me running from my demons that I thought I left behind me man
Why you had to leave me all alone why the real one's always gotta die so young I wear my heart on my sleeve just to feel it go numb for all my homies that I lost I'm about to go dumb till they remember they gone remember you I write your name in the sky so if the reaper comes just be waiting on the other side
Rest in peace Derrick Howard Jr I guess I'll see you on the otherside
