Dead Homiez
Lyricist:O'shea Jackson
Up early in the mornin', dressed in black Don't ask why? 'Cause I'm down in a suit an' tie They killed a homie, that I went to school with I tell ya, life ain't shit to fool with
I still hear the screams from his mother While my nigga laid dead in the gutter An' it's getting to my temple Why is that the only time black folks get to ride in a limo?
It make me so mad, I want to get my sawed in An' have some bodies hauled in But no, I pay my respects an' I'm through Hug my crew an' maybe shed a tear or two
An' I wanna get blitz Grab my 40 ounce an' then I reminisce About a brother who had to be the one an' only So I dedicate this to my dead homie
Another homie got murdered on a shakedown An' his mother is at the funeral, havin' a nervous breakdown Two shots hit him in the face, when they blasted A framed picture an' a closed casket
A single file line, about 50 cars long All drivin' slow with they lights on He got a lotta flowers an' a big wreath What good is that when you're six feet deep?
I look at that shit an' gotta think to myself Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com An' thank God for my health 'Cause nobody really ever know When it's gonna be they family on the front row
So I take every thin' slow, go with the flow An' shut my motherfuckin' mouth if I don't know 'Cause that's what Pops told me But I wish he could have said it to my dead homie
I remember we painted our names on the wall for fun Now it's 'Rest in Peace' after every one Except me, but I ain't the one to front Seems like I'm viewin' a body after every other month
Plus, I knew him when he was yea big Pour beer on the curb, before I take a swig But somethin' ain't right When it's a tragedy, that's the only time that the family's tight
Lovin' each other in a carin' mood There's lots of people an' lots of food They say, 'Be strong', an' you're tryin' But how strong can you be when you see your pops cryin'?
So that's why Ice Cube's dressed up Because the city is so fuckin' messed up An' everybody is so phony Take a little time to think about your dead homie
This is dedicated to all my dead homiez
