What up twin Im just sittin back man thinking about all the good times we had Theres a lot of things been going on since you been gone I just thought it was time for me to sit down and write you a letter You know what I am sayin, a letter from the heart Yo, yo Before I take a shot, I always make a toast to the sky Blow somesmoke in the air so we both can get high At night I hold my rosarys tight and hope to get by Close my eyes and ask the lord why he chose you to die Though, I believe in God, I chose my own road cause of pride I dont abide to no bible cause most of them lie Lifes like a roller coaster ride, just try to hold on and drive Its all about surviving, one day we all gonna die I tried to hide all these feelings I was holding inside Cause they always told me thugs aint suppose to cry And show their emotional side But, it soaked up my eyes Cause I never had nobody really close to me die Couldnt understand it at first, so how do this work You were just here full of cheer, now I'm following your hearse Its outta this earth, I felt like I was damn with a curse Had to light candle in church to handle the hurt In retrospect, I always respect the man that you were A man of your word that always put his family first With talent superb all you wanted was to be heard And You got your chance all of your fans are proud of your work You made it outta of the dirt and got on top of the world But you still stood in the hood with your son and to little girls You in iced out chains, your wife was rockin the pearls You lived a ghetto fabulous life, the Bronx was your borough And when the fame came you never changed. You kept it so thorough We did the same thing, poppin champagne to we earled You shocked the world, twin, every time you rapped on a track You had cats like How this fat dude could flow like that? Is he black? Is he packin the mack in the back of the acc? The only Spanish rapper to snatch up a platinum plaque Thats a fact.
