Why My Homie (Feat. C-Murder & Master P)

Damn, I never thought I'd be wearing
A suit and tie so many times a year
But like Bone said, to all my homies
Ain't here, be in a crossroad fool

Imagine this, me dressed in all black
At a funeral strapped with a chrome gat
Who died P, I guess it was my homie black
Somebody rolled up and shot him in the back
It was sad, my homie took a damn fall
Sort of like the TLC video, Waterfalls
But this was the real deal, this ain't no movie
Niggas drove up and blast my homie with a Uzi
Now me and Silkk, got to ride
After the funeral, cause it's sad on my side
Cause in the ghetto, it's one big black moon
I mean people dying everyday, we all are doomed
My mama look at me and say "boy watch yourself"
But I can't trip mama cause I live for myself
And if I die on the streets then it's my time to go
But if I live to see another day, another funeral
It's sad, I look into they eyes
Damn, everybody gots to die
But one day, I guess we gonna wake up
When they put me in that black truck
It could be you, it could be her
But in the end everybody gets did up
Cause in the ghetto everybody live like Jesse James
I still question God for calling my homie name

Why my homie had to die
Now somebody's mama gonna cry
Why my homie had to die
Now somebody's mama gonna cry

I remember when my grandfather died
Like 5 it never really touched me much
But to see my brother laying dead on
The floor really kinda fucked me up
I never thought he could hit me here then he could be gone
I never thought the day he left the
House he wouldn't be coming back home
I wonder when your time is go who gon' protect you
See somebody died in my family didn't even much affect you
I wonder why my homie died at such a young age
I wonder why my homie death didn't make the front page
Cause it's a trip, and life ain't even worth to live
I see you gotta watch out for all us killer kids
Believe me I be a youngsta tryna spit the game
But it's a damn shame, all of the shit done changed
Through all the struggling and striving I tries to stay hard
But look at Mr. President in the White House tryna play God
Put us all in one big ol' boat
He call it housing project, I call it one big ghetto

Damn, look like the Statue of Liberty is cryin'
I guess that mean the whole world is fuckin' dyin'

But why my homie had to die
Now somebody's mama gonna cry
Why my homie had to die
Now somebody's mama gonna cry

My nigga dead, my nigga died, how the fuck you figure
Another victim, my brother was a drug dealer
I'm paranoid looking for the niggas that did him in
They said it was his homies, coulda been his best friend
My mama tell me keep my head, on solid ground
But I can't forget how my brother went down
And now a foe and I another must lose his life
Never seen his kid it's gonna be a bloody night
Cause when you dead, you can't get a second chance
It's up to me to make another nigga dirty dance
Sometimes I sit and reminisce about the old days
Selling dope and playing ball up in them court ways
When I daydream sometimes I gots to grin
Close my eyes and then I see my fuckin' brother again
And when I wake up I'm hit by reality
Realizing, it was just a memory
Cause everybody put us down for being drug dealers
But I say fuck em, and rest in peace Kevin Miller

Why my brother had to die
Now somebody's mama gonna cry
Why my homie had to die
Now somebody's mama gonna cry
Why my brother had to die
Now somebody's mama gonna cry
Why my homie had to die
Why my homie's gotta die
Why my homie's gotta die
Why my brother had to die
Why my homie had to die
Why my brother had to die
Now somebody's mama gonna cry

Y'all niggas better wake up, and realize
This motherfuckin' album is dedicated to all
The niggas that got a second chance on life
And that's constantly going to funerals
Constantly tryna realize, why they people gotta die
And to all the motherfuckin' G's, hustlers
Ballers, up there in the crossroad, crossfire
This album dedicated to y'all too
Cause I know y'all got them motherfuckin' earphones on
Ridin' in them droptops, up there in the clouds
Pervin' on this Silkk the Shocker shit
Cause y'all know, my lil nigga done shocked the world
Y'all niggas feel this shit everywhere
All cross the motherfuckin' border
Y'all niggas feel this shit
Nigga I told you we gon' take over this rap shit nigga
Let it be known, me Silkk and C, down here countin' millions nigga
Sippin' on Moet, T.L.N. fool
Toastin' to you fool
