Those Who Are Dead
Verse 1 [Erreon Lee}
I seen an old woman layin in the hall
She was layin' on the floor, she must have had a fall
A man and his son pa**ed by her, I'm appalled
I ran to her, helped her up, gotta make a call
Damn she need an ambulance, I dialed' 9
She said put up ya phone young man im fine
She looked in my eyes, she told me she seen something
I asked what she seen, she said you gon' be something
I kinda smiled back, asked where ya house at
She said I'm on the 9th floor, you can call me Eleanor
I said yes mam, you can call me Erreon
I told her I would walk her home, on some good Samaritan sh**
I got her home, said bye miss Eleanor
She said I'm with you, I said huh? Then she closed the door
Next day I told the maintenance man, I met Eleanor
He said she died 10 years ago up on the 9th floor
What?
Verse 2 [Erreon Lee]
My plan was to surface on these n***as
Make it perfect for the picture, make it worth it for the listeners
Whispers in my ear big told me go get em
Pac in my otha' ear, he yellin' no, go k** em!
Cobaine just told a n***a go insane
Mike j said I'm fire, I'm in flames
James brown taught me soul, what a feelin'
Aaliyah gave me knowledge that I'm one In a million
Dr. king just told me follow your dreams
Selena told me everybody ain't just who they seem to be
Left eye told me keep my eyes open
Watch for the snakes, n***a neva eva close em
I was headed down a path of mistakes
Jam master j said nah walk this way
Bernie mack told me just laugh at them n***as
Ima stay focused on the path to the riches
