Can You Hear Me

Cause though I ain't with ya, know that I miss ya
Somehow I carry on
I could still picture, days I was with ya
Like you was never gone
I remember the good times, all of the bad times
I dedicate this song
To my niggas laid down (to my niggas laid down)
Do you hear me? I know you hear me

Now we was once two niggas of the same kind
Quik to holla at a bitch with the same line
Quik to draw on a nigga with the same nine
But at the same time we was on some different shit
Cause you was with a bitch that I beg to differ with
I told you sniff a bit and you could get a whiff of it
But you kept a closed nose when it came to those hoes
And I'm your nigga so I tried to smell 'em wrong for ya
Wasn't there to take the fo-fo longs for ya
But if you hear me, I dedicate this song for ya
He was set up in a stick-up by a girl he used to pick up
On the upper west side that used to help him chop a brick up
They found him in his pick-up, pants down and dick up
Leanin', with one in his head and one in his chest
One of the best, at this hustlin' shit
But his downfall was that he put his trust in a bitch
And it's fucked up

Cause though I ain't with ya, know that I miss ya
Somehow I carry on
I could still picture, days I was with ya
Like you was never gone
I remember the good times, all of the bad times
I dedicate this song
To my niggas laid down (to my niggas laid down)
Do you hear me? I know you hear me

I remember sellin' three bricks of raw powder
Turned my man into a star in 24 hours
He didn't care, spent the money in like four hours
On a Benz with like four hundred in horsepower
Had a chain that had Christ on it
A Rollie with a lot of ice on it
A pinky ring with a price on it
When he come around it's likely that he blunted
With a pretty lady and them Nike's that you wanted
It's well known, he kept it on his hip like a cell phone
If you speak with him you could pick up on his jail tone
He used to say he wasn't goin' back without blowin' back
And knowin' black I wouldn't put it past him
The D's would harass him 'til he finally blacked out
They told my nigga to freeze, but he still backed out
The shots fired 'til his trigger finger got tired
All the newspaper said was another nigga dead
And it's fucked up

Cause though I ain't with ya, know that I miss ya
Somehow I carry on
I could still picture, days I was with ya
Like you was never gone
I remember the good times, all of the bad times
I dedicate this song
To my niggas laid down (to my niggas laid down)
Do you hear me? I know you hear me

Now you can catch me in a cherry red 850
Nice ass, great titties, face pretty
Everybody know that she date Smitty
A big time dealer that's doing a state biddy
Who did more than his share of dirt in the world
Enough to make a nigga think about hurtin' his girl
So he used to tell his queen to stay to the castle
Away from the hassle 'til the day that he passed through
There's some enemies he might have who may wanna blast you
She stayed for a few years, that's until a few pairs
Convinced her to come and hang out around New Year's
It's been a while, you can see it in her smile
And she ran into her man's co-defendant in a trial
Started goin' on about, how he movin' on the route
Runnin' with them same niggas Smitty had warned about
She slid off, told her girls she had to drop her kid off
They found her in the parkin' lot, somebody blew her lid off
And it's fucked up

Cause though I ain't with ya, know that I miss ya
Somehow I carry on
I could still picture, days I was with ya
Like you was never gone
I remember the good times, all of the bad times
I dedicate this song
To my niggas laid down (to my niggas laid down)
Do you hear me? I know you hear me
Cause though I ain't with ya, know that I miss ya
Somehow I carry on
I could still picture, days I was with ya
Like you was never gone
I remember the good times, all of the bad times
I dedicate this song
To my niggas laid down (to my niggas laid down)
Do you hear me? I know you hear me
