-yo, big mann, what's happenin?
-just out here chillin, dawg
-sh**, n***a, what you chillin, what you thinkin about?
-n***a, i'm out here reminiscin, lookin around, n***a
-reminiscin on what?
-bout how sh** done changed, dawg
-all these n***az dead we grew up with bro baby, daniel
-damn, bro, this sh** daily, constantly happenin
-so what, we next or what?
-n***a, we tryin to come up and raise them little ones
-well, let's find a way out this sh**
-well, let's do dat there
[master p]
n***az dat want to space age hustle
Catch that rocket to the f**in moon
That be yo final ship, b**h, cause yo a** is doomed
Ain't no comin back, livin in the dope game
Cause once you die, n***a you slangin rocks, then that's yo name
On the wall when they run up,
I got k**as coming trough with bubble ups to pick up double ups
And put him in that muthaf**in long black hearse
I mean, once you gone n***a you layin in the dirt
Ain't no love in new orleans,
All the way to richmond, california
n***az livin for ghetto dreams
And the ghetto get so crazy
I seen a little bitty baby s**in on daisies
Caught two to the chest, one to the head
5 n***az walked behind him dressed in red
With ski masks, but n***az thought it was a clown show
Witches in the st. bernard projects, downed a hoe
And it's sad cause n***az claimin 3rd ward
9th ward and n***az claimin 10th ward
All my homies be dyin down south
Run around, talkin sh**, k**as with gold in they mouth
But i'm a soldier, a rolla, give me ten
I'd rather die than go to the f**in pen
My partna bos looked to my eyes and said, "n***a
Is it time for change, n***az ain't livin in this dope game"
So we jumped into this rap game
And laid it down to all my k**as
That tried to teach my n***a the game
Cause once you gone, ain't no comin back
Talked to randall and t-dove
They say, "p, the streets ain't all that."
I mean the calliope projects done change
Right from roges tablet you find the f**in police man
And n***az still servin bubble ups
Big mo in the projects rappin, and n***as=z tryin to come up
And with this new wave dope game,
I mean this rap game, n***az tryin to get out to make some change
But down south my homies dyin, n***az fryin
But stories we ain't buyin
Chorus: repeat 2x
Who (2pac gone, but what rapper) gon be next
To take that final ride (i hope it ain't me who)
Get cashed like a bad check (slammin cadillac doors)
Black hearses when they should be 6-0's
[silkk]
I often wonder wonder if there's a heaven or a hell
Rest in peace to my n***az that died
Too bad when they died they couldn't come back and tell
If they really is another side, i seen his mother cry
I just wanna know where he went when my cousin died
That last step, then it's yo debt, yo last breath
Then it's the moment you fear
Just think, by the day over, one of us ain't gon be here
Used to ride with a bunch of n***az, now he's ridin solo
He's dressed up in a suit, when he used to wear polos
I wonder if there's a heaven for a gangsta, a k**a, and a shoota
I wish some n***a gunned john gotti had went in the chamber
Moms say my days are numbered cause i live wrong
Even scarface made a song, gangstas really don't live long
I'm tryin to live to a rock candy painted cadillac like outkast say
Ride on them thangs like mack 10, from back side to side like u.g.k.
Convertible lexus like eightball, mjg
500 like my brother master p, i'm a shock the world if i see 23
Maybe not today, but tomorrow off into the funeral parlor
Take pause to bury my boy, as we roll up to the grave yard
Who gon be next...to take that final ride?
Chorus
[c-murder]
I done seen mo crime than a crime lord
Sometimes i sit back and think i seen more d**h than god
Just last week a n***a got shot up and burned
But me i take heed to sh** like that, and i learned
How can i not end up like that n***a?
What the f** i got to do not to get banged up by that trigga?
Cause in the projects, ain't no love
n***az will split yo wig cause they gon on d** (her-oin)
I hope you feel me, cause i feel the pain of others
I feel for every n***a that got to go on without they brother
But like the game, what goes around comes around
Next week that could be your muthaf**in hearse ridin through that town
That could be yo mama cryin in that steeple
Better yet, that could be you mornin the d**h of yo people
In the hood, i'm known for peelin caps, so i'm a cap peela
The police know me for sellin d**, so i'm a drug deala
I reverse the game cause ain't no love for a black man
13 years old, my little cousin got juvenile life for takin a stand
It's a never endin game of d**h, do or die
So if you k**, be prepared for that final ride
Chorus (2x)
R.i.p. 2pac, n***a, eazy-e, segram, mr. c
And my little brother kevin
Miller, and all ya'll tru n***az and b**hes
That done died out there on these streets
And took that final ride
Y'all n***az ain't forgotten
Cause tru n***az live forever
Tru n***az like us
Ya heard me? it's real n***a
We gon see ya'll fools in the crossroads
