Rated R - How Long Will They Mourn Me lyrics

[Intro: 2Pac] How long will they mourn me? Yeah, this for my n***a Kato It's still on, n***a, believe that! We live a Thug Life, thugs for life, ha ha (How long will they mourn me?) We handle this sh** for you, bwoy Yeah, n***a, 2Pac in this motherf**er [Verse 1: 2Pac] All my homies drinkin' liquor, tears in everybody's eyes n***as cried to mourn a homie's homicide But I can't cry, instead I'm just a shoulder Damn, why they take another soldier? I load my clip before my eyes blurry, don't worry I'll get them s**ers back before you're buried Retaliate and pull a one-eight-seven Do real n***as get to go to Heaven? How long will they mourn me? Bury me a motherf**in' G b**h, don't wanna die, then don't f** with me It's kinda hard to be optimistic When your homie's lyin' dead on the pavement twisted Y'all don't hear me though, I'm tryin' hard to make amends But I'm losin' all my motherf**in' friends Damn! They should've shot me when I was born Now I'm trapped in the motherf**in' storm How long will they mourn me? [Hook: Nate Dogg & 2Pac] I wish it would have been another How long will they mourn me? How long will they mourn my brother? (Half them n***as all dead and sh**) How long will they mourn me? I wish it would have been another (Dedicated this to Kato, n***a, and e'ry thug) How long will they mourn me? How long will they mourn my brother? (Yo, n***a, we gotta keep this sh** goin' on; yo, Syke!) [Verse 2: Big Syke] How long will they mourn me? Every motherf**in' day, homie You stayed down when the other n***as didn't know me From my heart to the trigger you my f**in' n***a And things won't be the same without you, n***a I remember kickin' back, you wanted a 'Lac And goin' half on a motherf**in' hundred sack Smokin' blunt after blunt, and steady drinkin' Hung around so much, you knew what I was thinkin' Tell me, Lord, why you take big Kato? So confused not knowin' which way to go I'm goin' crazy and runnin' out of f**in' time I can't take it, I'm losin' my f**in' mind So day after day, ride after ride We'll hook up on the other side Watch over your family and your newborn 'Til we meet again, homie – how long will they mourn me? [Hook: Nate Dogg & Big Syke] I wish it would have been another (Big Kato) How long will they mourn me? (It's still on, n***a) How long will they mourn my brother? How long will they mourn me? I wish it would have been another How long will they mourn me? How long will they mourn my brother? Rated R (Double Jeopardy) Mac 10 [Verse 3: The Rated R] Damn, a n***a tired of feelin' sad, I'm tired of puttin' in work I'm tired of cryin', watchin' my homies leave the Earth I know soon one day I'll be in the dirt And my peoples'll be mournin' When they get a call from the coroner All n***as can say is, "That's f**ed up." And get tossed up, reminiscin' how we grew up Rest and love to my n***a Kato See you in the crossroads real soon For now, let me pour out some brew I'll be always thinkin' of you, homie Rest in peace – how long will they mourn me? [Verse 4: Macadoshis/"Mac 10"] We know life's a f**in' trip, and everybody gotta go But why the f** it have to be my n***a Kato? Another n***a fell victim to the chrome It's enough to make you crazy, it's f**in' with my dome You only live once on this Earth A n***a had it bad since the day of my motherf**in' birth But n***as say they down and they always be my homie But when a n***a gone, how long will you mourn me? [Hook: Nate Dogg & 2Pac] I wish it would have been another (Mac 10 in this motherf**er, yeah!) How long will you mourn me?! How long will they mourn my brother? (Thug Life, boy, Nate, blowin' that sh**) I wish it would have been another (Nate Dogg, do that sh**, n***a, yeah) How long will you mourn me?! How long will they mourn my brother? (This for my n***a Kato, and all his kids) How long will you mourn me?! I wish it would have been another How long will they mourn my brother?
