Now don't get upset when the memories are fadin' All I ever wanted was to be your dad And I'm sorry 'bout the way that life went bad Hope that you learn from the lessons that I taught ya And I hope you forgive me from this grief that I brought ya Listen to your mother, be good, and stay in school Stay away from boys, pray to god 'n you'll be cool The love of my life, my wife, the firecracker I'm sorry about the way that our dreams got shattered I never meant to hurt you, you have my deepest love You truly are an angel, you'll always be my lady bug [Hook] [Verse 3] To the homies in the click, hold it down there tight This ain't the end of me, it's just the end of life You gotta keep it goin', progress, and move forward Whatever you're into, it should produce more work Multiply in numbers, grow strong, and be stable Don't be like Cain, or end up like Abel Give to my family anything that's mine Give respect to the lord, there is a fine line See the haters happy now, they got what they wanted Make sure they blame me when all their houses are haunted Some will curse me long after I'm gone Do what you will of them, cause their lives won't last long These are the wishes of the man that just died You can hear me through the speaker all the way from the other side Pour out some drink for me as I rest in peace I'ma be in your dreams, you shall see me in your sleep [Hook]
