[Intro: Bumpy Knuckles]
Last time I saw HeadQCourterz was at a video shoot...And...I was pullin off to leave and he said "Head up eyes and ears open." ya nah mean, And then he said "Word is bond", yo that was like his signature thing ya nah mean? And, every time he said it you know he always make sure he said he fightin for life. You ask him how he doin he fightin for life. He was a signature dude who was original and he always had his own style.He never changed for nobody you know what I mean?Ummm, I respected him for that you know what I mean? Everybody call me a real n***a, you know what I'm sayin? There's more real n***as than me, he definitely was a real n***a. I miss him, and I love him
[Verse One]
When I die
I want people in the funeral to kiss my face and feel me
Take a whiff of this last breath for real b
Every word about me could never be good
Cause I fight for survival, I grew up in the hood
Made the subway train my bedroom, but not for long
For just a minute it takes me, to get put on
All I know is righteousness I walk in the path
And light this spliff and the smoke is my trail
I inhale cause to choke is to fail
I'm too smart to be locked down broken in jail
That's where they want me
In the basement, stuck in a cell
Eatin jacked mac, toilet seat cold as hell
I got a African necklace that my sister bought me from the motherland
So I rock it in j**el the brother man
Got me screamin b it's not platinum, it's made of all wood
But the memories devalue weight, it's all good
I'm a hip hop connoisseur, street promotion
Got love for the realest rappers, beat devotion
And I walk now through the heavens, arm and arm
Screamin, "Heads up eyes and ears open, word is bond!"
[Interlude: Vocals from HeadQCourterz]
Word is bond! Let's take this f**in sh** over man!

[DJ Premier Scratchin]:
My-My-My-My-My n***a HeadQCourterz - Snoop Dogg
H-H-H-H-HeadQCourterz rest in peace!!!! - Bumpy Knuckles
[Vocals From HeadQCourterz]:
Everybody's ready man, it's on your f**in word man
What's good man?
[Verse Two]
Follow my steps now is somethin you can't do
The essence of die hard b when I left you
Reppin The Bronx, where I borrowed life and gave it back
Truly dedicated to the underrated, people can't believe I made it
Cause their projection is just projection
Disrespectful to our complexion, I'm my mama's boy
On the ave with a drama toy hopin' you don't try me
Recognize when you walk by me
We fightin for life, pa** me the Henny and 'dro
I light it and write, my opinion is my own dominion
And if I know my head while your bumpin your sh**
Believe it my n***a then It's a hit
Lot of spit in my clique, we tour cities and we set up streets
We comin through, and we bringin the beats
I'm hip hop raw to the core everything about me
What hip hop gon do without me?!
I was born in the game, I died in the game
I turned into a angel now I fly through the game
I'm a hip hop connoisseur, street promotion
Got love for the realest rappers, beat devotion
And I walk through the heavens, arm and arm
Screamin' "Heads up eyes and ears open, word is bond!"
[Interlude: Bumpy Knuckles]
He was a signature dude who was original and he always had his own style
He never changed for nobody you know what I mean?
[Vocals from HeadQCourterz]:
Do they know how many motherf**ers is out here?!
Starvin, hungry, whether it's, it it's physically or mentally
Or spiritually, you know what I'm sayin?!
Nah they don't because they just be sittin up in them f**in high rise buildings...
Up in f**in happy hour you know what I'm sayin?
They don't know about the struggle man
[DJ Premier Scratching]
My-My-My-My n***a HeadQCourterz
HeadQCourterz rest in peace!!!!
[Verse Three: Bumpy Knuckles]
To my n***as in the streets don't ever give up, we still in a rut
VSOP fillin my cup, I left a lot to think about now
Could never be a fool
Went from homeless in a couple of years, to back to school
Cause I hustled my a** off, save up every dollar
Sold hoodies in the hood, my act's hard to follow
Holla!
If you see me on cloud nine my cup raised
Rewritin' the tough days
I turn six shots to six strays, they go into a wall
That leave me there to kick it with y'all
I'm a soldier that will never fall, I'm free from hell
No more felony stripes, three from jail
Don't cry shed no tears, I'm still here
To oversee all my dogs so be clear
I'm a hip hop connoisseur, street promotion
Got love for the realest rappers, beat devotion
And I walk through heaven, arm and arm
Screamin "Heads up eyes and ears open, word is bond!"
[Outro: Vocals from HeadQCourterz]
I got Panch and them on The 3rd! I got Smile! Mel!
All my n***as man! (M.O.P., Big Shug) You already f**in know!!!
WORD IS BOND SON!!!
