As days goes and nights fall
And families back home who pray they make it home safe
Street's disciple
And even though life must go on, we'll still mourn
Though our thugs ain't here, the love is here
This for my dawgs stuck in the struggle tryin' to gain
But was guided by drug dealers, killers and crack fiends
And can we please have a moment to mourn?
Here's another warrior song from Nasty and Quan
For the rest of our life we'll miss y'all
Publishers: BERNARD'S OTHER MUSIC, ILL WILL MUSIC, NOTTING DALE SONGS INC, SONY/ATV SONGS LLC, UNIVERSAL MUSIC - Z TUNES LLC.
For Will, Bokeem, Bar, Pappy, my niggaz
For the rest of our life we'll miss y'all
As days goes and nights fall
For every G that fell for his flag in the streets
As days goes and nights fall
Songwriters: Bernard Edwards, Nasir Jones, Leshan Lewis, Clifford Ferquan Peacock, Nile Rodgers
This is just a moment to let you all know
Salute to those who gone with bullets
That's for my niggaz doin' years in confinement
To live it alive, so instead they live it to die
For the rest of our life we'll miss y'all
And for my soldiers that passed over, no longer living
Hopin' that they don't get hit with a stray or missiles
For the rest of our life we'll miss y'all
For the rest of our life we'll miss y'all
Just a moment outside the day to day struggle
While wishin' y'all were home
While wishin' y'all were home
And I promise through rhymin' Quan
That we miss you
And can we please have a moment of truth?
For single mothers that's forced to play mom and dad
That couldn't run whenever the reaper came to get 'em
Let's take 'em home
Can we please pour out some liquor?
It's to him I pass the baton to carry this on
Bloodin' and thuggin', folkin' and lokin' crypin' and creepin'
While wishin' y'all were home
Trapped in the game, not knowin' how to stop and get by
And even though life must go on, we'll still mourn
Who got raped or murdered, or trapped in the system
To let the ones we really care about know that we love 'em
Can we please have a moment for children?
To clients all through the world, got little black girls dyin'
As days goes and nights fall
Big L and Left Eye, when we die we wish to see ya
As days goes and nights fall
Jam Master Jay, Feaky Ty and Alliyah
And can we please have a moment of peace?
For brothers who died from black-on-black violence
From here to the dark continent were rebels sell diamonds
And can we please pour some more liquors?
Cryin' the song of sorrow to dark and deep for speakin'
Smokin' trauma, sniffin' Ra while sellin' cocaine
For my niggaz in the pen hopin' rhymes'll get 'em signed
Mommy I'm still here, wishin' I was there with you
And even though life must go on, we'll still mourn
For the rest of our life we'll miss y'all
As days goes and nights fall
For soldiers and troops away with helmets and boots
So when released, they can say bye to a life of crime
And even though life must go on, we'll still mourn
Latin and kingin' or just for poor righteous teachin'
While wishin' y'all were home
While wishin' y'all were home
And even though life must go on, we'll still mourn
For Pac, Biggie and Pun 'cause through us they live on
For every mother that held a son in the street bleedin'
Yeah, and can we have another moment of silence?
Bustin' her ass to give her kids shit she never had
While wishin' y'all were home
And even though life must go on, we'll still mourn
Can we please have a moment of silence?
Gon' rep his life to the fullest
Symobolizin', let's take in time to consider that
Who never knew their father, never learned to dream
And we gon' rep 'til slugs kill us here
