[Tony Montana:] Heavenly father I ain't the one to question your will, or what is it to be done? But these cemeteries get you acquainted to all of my homies And this time it's Mello & I just don't understand why that he gone And the only thing that keepin' me from cryin' is blowin' up on this do do Like ones in the ghetto, we learn to shock & rock cash that rip flows And you ain't givin' a f** if you want to click sh** you live on You said, my heart in the light muthaf**er, we gon' represent my n***a Put the deuce up by the roof, yellin' out what it do for you my n***a Wreckin' the microphone 'til 10 & keepin' it crunk for you already And the plan to get the lab before prayin' with Grandma on that Thursday Know we gon' ride until then whenever the last your a** gon' be missed And we gon' hold it down up on the ground 'til we meet up in Heaven. [Chorus:] [x2] I really hate it that we Lost Another Soldier Time & time it seems this world be gettin' colder You never really know when your time gon' be over It feel like it's forever ridin' on our shoulders. [Dougie D.:] I'm gon' ride 'til I'm wit ya, damn I really miss ya I just don't understand why he had to come & get ya You always kept it positive, paintin' perfect pictures A soldier with the heart of a lion, a bold heart n***a Much respect dog, never will you ever be forgotten Salvation's in your corner now, down here you got non-stoppin' Realizin' that your gone, it's really hard to swallow Tomorrow ain't promised, we livin' time that's borrowed I wish there was another way that d**h could be defeated You left us all in shock, our souls have been depleted 'Til we join you we gon' mourn you, keep the mic on for you 16 shots of loot to the K & Day soldier. [Z-Ro:] We livin' in war times on time by the hard times. Will it ever get better? My n***as be losin' they life over some of that punk a** cheddar Everybody gotta have that, so we gotta get up & get that there The best way we can, everyday is a struggle And every morning, 6 fellas with a casket in they hand And it just don't stop, seems like every time a brother fin to reach the top Shut the f** up, Heaven always has a road block, another real n***a drop And it's always close to home, paranoid of my people I tote my chrome Packin' that plastic in the middle of the night, I gotta protect my dome Lookin' for the reason why my n***a ain't breathin' God damn I'm hurtin' this evening. Why the f** Big Curtis leave? And I wanna go with him 'cause I can't stay breathin' Everyday it's a different thing, broke loose of the drama, loose of the pain Feel like I'm goin' insane, the rap game will never be the same. [Chorus:] [x2] I really hate it that we Lost Another Soldier Time & time it seems this world be gettin' colder You never really know when your time gon' be over It feel like it's forever ridin' on our shoulders. [Cl'Che:] You never know, you never know, when it's your time to go To the top of the rope 'til you can't climb no more We miss your energy & your spirit around the studio Big Mello, Big Mello My partner, my friend, my labelmate to the end I'll always remember how you brought the light in Tellin' the world what it do, through all of your songs I heard I just can't imagine life here, since you gone. This is my cry for you, this is Cl'Che's cry for you. Another Southside Soldier gone, oh. [Chorus:] [x2] I really hate it that we Lost Another Soldier Time & time it seems this world be gettin' colder You never really know when your time gon' be over It feel like it's forever ridin' on our shoulders.
