Have I told you lately that I love you Well if I didn't darlin' I'm sorry Did I reach out and hold you in my loving arms, when you needed me Now I realize that you need love, too, and I'll spend my life makin' up to you Oh, I forgot to be your lover, and I'm sorry, I'm so sorry First it was Pac and then Big, I know you feelin' me kid It had me trippin' and I'm thinkin' what kind of joke that it is And then when Pun died it made me think of his kids And it bring the tears to my eyes when I see these babies cry And can't forget the Eazy, and you then know that it's fo-sheezy Got no time for flossin' when these soldiers out here need me And them Gravediggas, and while chasin' major figures But the things we say are seeds that we planted, they gettin' with us Chorus Now I realize that you need love to And I'll spend my life makin' up tp you Consumed by the things of this world And never respectin' our girls We callin' them hos when they diamonds and pearls And then they miss Aaliyah, so many out here wanna be her Don't even know when the next time and when they really gonna see her And we forgot about Him, unless we use Him in vain And all these evil speekin' lyrics disrespectin' His name These rappers sayin' nothin', that's why he tryin' to tell us something While we kickin' rhymes, I see Him steady showin' signs No more popin' pills, watchin' these young ones livin' ill You glamorize the wicked, that's the kind of stupid that's gettin' us k**ed Chorus They drivin' Escalades, and Benz' and Lexus' and Jaguars They rollin' on 22's with DVDs in they cars Everyday on MTV and so they know who you are Plus the way you live your life is like a movie star They popin' Xs in the Lexus' Fine firls with diamond neckless' Talkin' about how good the s**s is And Pops gotta cry 'cuz we lost our Left-Eye But behind the tragedy there's a reason why Chorus
