This one is for my brother, Tyree, R.I.P.
A message to God
Since you finishin' 'em early, what possessed you to start him?
We made a vow, later we'll regret 'til death do us part
Lord, I thought we was made for each other
You shouldn't connect those made to be taken away from each other
Now what I'm supposed to do? I'm only half the man that I was
I'll never last 'cause my better half is up there with you
You knew what you was doin' when you made us, so with all due respect
You coulda forgave him, you didn't have to take him
He can take the game with him 'cause he defines the word
The one who puts the G in it, who you think put me in it?
I'm feelin' like my whole world is blinded, wonderin' why
Cryin', pourin' out my heart, pourin' out liquor behind it
We fought like brothers, somethin' we never should do
We coulda used time spent arguin', tellin' the truth
He had talent too, I had plans on watchin' him grow
Don't know what hurts more, seein' him leave or watchin' him go
Listen listen listen, listen listen
Listen listen listen, better listen
Listen listen listen
Listen
If you wanna know why
(Why I live my life)
The way that I do
('Cause I got to get this money)
So don't worry about me
('Cause I know my way around)
'Cause I'm just hustlin' every day
Runnin' this race, makin' this paper
You's a soldier, you're probably packin' heat up there
Met up with homies from the street and got deep up there
If you only knew the way I felt before they ruined the crew
I thought I learned from Eazy, now I'm goin' through it with you
We lost a thug, a son and a father
I spoke to your son, the other day and told him Uncle Dre got him
The Lord must be accidentally pulling your file
'Cause I'm still paging you, 911, straight in denial
Prayin' you get it but no man can choose the card he was dealt
You either quit or you gon' play 'em like you get it
I done been through all emotions, from in shock, to keepin' a poker face
To straight breakin' down and showin' all emotions
From anxious to believin' real G's don't cry
If that's the truth, then I'm realizin' I ain't no gangsta
It's just not me but you know I'ma always ride wit you
I miss you, sometimes I wish I just died wit you
Listen listen listen, listen listen
Listen listen listen
Listen listen listen
Listen
If you wanna know why
(Why I live my life)
The way that I do
('Cause I got to get this money)
So don't worry about me
(Don't worry, don't worry, worry)
'Cause I'm just hustlin' every day
Runnin' this race, makin' this paper
Listen, baby you don't know why
You betta listen up right now
Listen, listen, listen, listen
Listen, listen
Listen
Listen, children listen
I'm tryin' to tell you somethin' good
Don't get caught up in the hood
If you don't know why
You gotta find out the reason why
Brother, brother
