Thug Life - How Long Will They Mourn Me (Clean Version) lyrics

[Verse 1: 2Pac] So many, buried peers, throughout the years While pouring out liquor and beers For all my homies that wasn't here Can't help but shed tears at the cemetery Makin' me wonder if this loaded pistols necessary Even the preacher could see the pain in my mother's eyes While walkin' by, can't help but sympathize when brothers die Maybe the pain will make the situation change No murder for murder, but homicide will never end, this crooked game Bullets is blasted, time pa**, brothers in masks Retaliation is the aftermath All that remains is a corpse wrapped in plastic Call up his momma tell her; her babies in a casket No love for 'em Just put his body in the grave Even the pistols and all the prayers couldn't save 'em Look how they played 'em They should've murdered me when I was born 'Cause now I'm trapped in the violence of the storm How long will they mourn me [Hook: Nate Dogg & 2Pac] I wish it would've been another How long will they mourn me How long will they mourn my brother How long will they mourn me I wish it would have been another Nate Dogg How long will they mourn me How long will they mourn my brother (Yo Syke) [Verse 2: Big Syke] How long will they mourn me, every breathin' day Homie, you stayed down when them other bustas didn't know me From my heart to the trigger, I miss my dawg Reminiscing of the days as a young hog I remember kickin' back, you wanted to lack I live the super fly, and you wanted to be the mack Up all night smoking and drinking Hung around so much, you knew what I was thinkin' Tell me Lord, why you take big Kato? So confused not knowing which way to go I'm goin' crazy 'cause I'm runnin' out of time I can't take it, I'm losin' my 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 & 2Pac] I wish it would've been another (Big Kato) How long will they mourn me How long will they mourn my brother How long will they mourn me I wish it would've been another (Yeah) How long will they mourn me How long will they mourn my brother (Rated R, (Double Jeopardy), Mac 10) [Verse 3: Rated R (Double Jeopardy)] Damn although I'm tired of feeling sad I'm tired of putting in work I'm tired of cryin', watch 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 my dawgs can do is get they [?] And get tossed up [?] Rest and love to the homie Kato See you in the crossroads real soon For now let me pour out some brew I can't forget my homie R.I.P. big baller How long will you mourn me when I be dead and gone? [Verse 4: Macadoshis (Mac 10)] I know life's a trip, and everybody gotta go But why it had to be my homie Kato Another brother fell victim to the chrome It's enough to make you crazy, it's going to my dome You only live once on this earth And only guarantee one friend from the day of your birth My people say they down and they always be my homie But when the mack gone How long will you mourn me? [Hook: Nate Dogg] Yeah I wish it would've been another How long will they mourn my brother I wish it would've been another How long will they mourn my brother [Collision: Macadoshis (Mac 10)] How long will ya mourn me How long will ya mourn me How long will ya mourn me How long will ya mourn me How long will ya mourn me How long will ya mourn me How long will ya mourn me [Hook: Nate Dogg] I wish it would've been another How long will you mourn my brother I wish it would've been another How long will you mourn my brother
