How long will they mourn me?
Yeah! This for my n***a Kato
It's still on n***a, believe that
We live a Thug Life, Thugs for Life
Yeah (How long will they mourn me?) We handle this sh** for you bwoy
Yeah n***a
2Pac in this motherf**er
All my homies drinkin' liquor
Tears in everybody's eyes
n***as cried, to mourn a homie's homicide
But I can't cry, instead I'm just a shoulder
Damn, why they take another soldier?
I load my clip before my eyes blurry, don't worry
I'll get them s**ers back before your buried (sh**)
Retaliate and pull a one-eight-seven
Do real n***as get to go to heaven?
How long will they mourn me? Bury me a motherf**in' G
b**h don't wanna die, then, don't f** with me
It's kinda hard to be optimistic
When your homie's lyin' dead on the pavement twisted
Y'all don't hear me doe, I'm tryin hard to make amends
But I'm losin' all my motherf**in' friends, damn!
They should've shot me when I was born
Now I'm trapped in the motherf**in' storm
How long will they mourn me?
I wish it would have been another
How long will they mourn me?
How long, will they mourn my brother (Half them n***as all dead and sh**)
How long will they mourn me?
I wish it would have been another (dedicated this to Kato n***a, and e'ry thug)
How long will they mourn me?
How long, will they mourn my brother (yo n***a, we gotta keep this sh** goin' on, yo Syke)
How long will they mourn me?
Every motherf**in' day homie
You stayed down when the other n***as didn't know me
From my heart to the trigger you my f**in' n***a
And things won't be the same without ya n***a
I remember kickin' back, you wanted a 'llac
And goin' half on a motherf**in' hundred sack
Smokin' blunt after blunt, and steady drinkin'
Hung around so much, you knew what I was thinkin'
Tell me Lord, why you take big Kato?
So confused not knowing which way to go
I'm goin' crazy and runnin' out of f**in' time
I can't take it, I'm losin' my f**in' mind
So day after day, ride after ride
We'll hook up on the other side
Watch over your family and your newborn
Till we meet again homie
How long will they mourn me?
I wish it would have been another (Big Kato)
How long will they mourn me?
How long, will they mourn, my brother (It's still on n***a)
How long will they mourn me?
I wish it would have been another (Yeah)
How long will they mourn me?
How long will they mourn, my brother (Rated R, Double Jeapordy, Mac 10)
Damn, a n***a tired of feelin' sad
I'm tired of puttin' in work
I'm tired of cryin' watchin' my homies leave the earth
I know soon one day I'll be in the dirt
And my peoples'll be mournin'
When they get a call from the coroner
All n***as can say is that's f**ed up
And get tossed up, reminiscin' how we grew up (my n***a)
Rest and love to my n***a Kato
See you in the crossroads real soon
For now let me pour out some brew
I'll be always thinkin' of ya homie
Rest in peace, how long will they mourn me?
We know life's a f**in' trip
And everybody gotta go
But why the f** it have to be my n***a Kato?
Another n***a fell victim to the chrome
It's enough to make you crazy, it's f**in' with my dome
You only live once on this earth a n***a had it bad
Since the day, of my motherf**in' birth (uh)
But n***as say they down and they always be my homie
But when a n***a gone, how long will ya mourn me?
(Yeah!) I wish it would have been another (Mac 10 in this motherf**er, yeah!)
How long will you mourn me?!
How long, will they mourn my brother (Thug Life boy, Nate, blowin that sh**)
I wish it would have been another (Nate Dogg do that sh** n***a, yeah)
How long will you mourn me?!
How long will they mourn, my brother (This for my n***a Kato, and all his kids)
How long will you mourn me?!
I wish it would have been another
How long will they mourn my brother
