--Chorus x2--
How Many brothas fell
Victim to tha streetz
Rest in peace young nigga
there's a Heaven for a G
be a lie
If I told ya that I never thought of Death
my niggas
we tha last ones left but life goes on
Life goes on!
As I bail through tha empty halls
breath stinkin' in my draws
ring, ring, ring
quiet ya'all
incoming call
plus this my homie from high school
he's getting bye
It's time to worry
another brotha
nobody cry
life as a baller
alchol and booty calls
we usta do them as adolecents
do you recall ?
raised as G's
loked out and blazed the weed
get on tha roof let's get smoked out
and blaze with me
2 in tha morning and we still high assed out
screamin' thug till I die before I passed out
but now that your gone I'm in tha zone
thinkin' 'I don't wanna die all alone'
but now ya gone
and all I got left are stinkin' memories
I love them niggas to death
I'm drinkin' Hennessy
while tryin ta make it last
I drink a 5th for that ass
when you pass
cause life goes on
--Chorus x2-- How Many brothas fell
Victim to tha streetz
Rest in peace young nigga
there's a Heaven for a G
be a lie
If I told ya that I never thought of Death
my niggas
we tha last ones left
but life goes on
Yeah nigga...I got tha word as hell
ya blew trial and tha judge gave ya 25 with an L
time to prepare to do
fair time won't see parole
imagine life as a convict that's getten' old
plus with tha drama we're lookin out for your babies mama
taken risks while keepin' cheap tricks from gettin on her...
life in tha hood
is all good for nobody
remember gamin' on dumb hotties at your parties
Me and you no true a two
while schemeing on hits
and gettin tricks
that maybe we can slide into
but now you burried
rest nigga cause I ain't worried
eyes blurried
sayin' goodbye at the cemetary
tho memories fade
I got your name tattered on my arm
so we both ball till my dying days
before I say goodbye
Kato, my mentor to rest in peace
Thug till I die
--Chorus x2--
How Many brothas fell
Victim to tha streetz
Rest in peace young nigga
there's a Heaven for a G
be a lie
If I told ya that I never thought of Death
my niggas
we tha last ones left
and life goes on
Bury me smilin'
with G's in my pocket
have a party at my funeral
let every rapper rock it
let tha hos that I usta know
from way before
kiss me from my head to my toe
give me a paper and a pen
so I can write about my life of sin
a couple bottles of Gin
incase I don't get in
tell all my people I'm a Ridah
nobody cries when we die
we outlaws let me ride
until I get free
I live my life in tha fast lane
got police chasen me
to my niggas from old blocks from old crews
niggas that guided me through
back in tha old school
pour out some liquor
have a toast for tha homies
see we both gotta die but ya chose to go before me
and brothas miss ya while your gone
you left your nigga on his own
how long we mourn
life goes on
--Chorus over the following words--
Life goes on homie
gone on, cause they passed away
Niggas doin life
Niggas doin 50 and 60 years and shit
I fear ya nigga, trust me
I fear ya
You know what I mean
last year
we poured out liquor for ya
this year nigga life goes on
we're gonna clock now
get money
evade bitches
evade tricks
give players plenty space
and basicaly just represent for you baby
next time you see your niggas
your gonna be on top nigga
their gonna be like
'Goddamn, them niggas came up'
that's right baby
life goes on
and we up out this bitch
hey Kato, Mental
ya'all niggas make sure things are popin
when we get up there
don't front
