[Intro]
Yeah, Uh, Yeah, Light it up Light it up
[Verse: Kuniva]
My whole city's the truth
Henney and goose
I really hate the way those b**hes did Proof with different stories
Seein my brother layin on the gurnie, it drove me insane
I'm in the office, pointin guns at my attorney
I tried to see the bright side, when talkin to my mother
She like, “at least it wasn't like bugz, he didn't suffer”
It seems not to matter when your life is straight shattered apart
A strong mind is nothing without the heart
And they took that away from the city
With half-a** investigating a** cops left his name looking gritty
I find myself cruising the streets
Wonderin how it would be, if it was me who was layin six feet
Would it be a bunch of n***as that I really didn't f** with
Sayin we were like brothers, talkin on some dumb sh**
Doin things they know I would never approve of
Expressin their intrest in my money, that ain't true love
Knowin we didn't get along when I was alive
All of a sudden its my name forever until you die
I'd probably be like Swaze in ghost, swingin wild but never connecting
Yo this sh** is so depressing
I stop thinkin selfish, my dude had kids
Left with a lie about the last day that he lived
And I sit sheddin tears, that's me and my little drama
I lost me a brother, but his kids lost a father
I think back to when he played me Kurt Cobain
We was at the Toy Soilders video shoot, I called him insane
Told him it was dope, but way too scary
He just smiled, popped the CD out and told me not to worry
The whole day I had goosebumps, none of us felt the concept of that video from the jump
But didn't think that it would really happen
Who would've thought that, he didn't stand a chance with the reeper, he would've fought back
But that bullet took his mind, and I believe that if he were hit anywhere else, he would've survived
Cops watchin with a microscope, waitin for the get-back
Pullin me over, searchin my car, like “where the fifth at?”
We watchin ya'll, any retaliation that takes place, will be on your doorstep, it only made me more amped
But still I can't ignore that, but vengeance is the Lord's
I'm prayin to god, wonderin what's taking him so long
But back then I only see my pain, blinded by my own rage
Crusin through the east side with a gage
Heard my big brother in my ear, “Vahn go home”
At the same time, wifey hit me up on the phone
It was a sign tellin me to leave the bullsh** alone
It was too late, I cannot bring him back, he is gone
We all have regets, wishin we would've been there
sh** would've been different, yo, it wouldn't have went there
But it was gods plan, and part of bein a man is accepting his will even if you don't understand
Cherish the ones around you who mean something
Although proof's gone, I know he knows how much we love him
[Outro]
