So Much Death

(album: Chopper City - 1996)

[Verse 1]
Every day I sit and wonder why I lost my daddy so young
Just reminence think how me and him had so much fun
Teach me man to man things bout the game
Let me know always let em hang be bout my change
Never thought that come closee to home I was wrong
Never that my daddy was going away I was wrong
Him and my momma went through they little stages
Always fight threw em out and made him walk the streets
But it was alright
Cause I knew he would be back tommorrow with the sorrow
She would take the frown away let him stay
All he wanted me to do was to be cool stay in school
But the dude that I hanged with rearranged the whole attitude
When he died I start hustling to get paid
I did the opposite I know you turning in your grave
When I pray I know you hear me at night
It ain't right but I ain't white
And all I got is the street life
I know you looking down saying you ain't raise me this way
Don't be mad we'll talk about when I come one day
Until we meet I'll keep your name on the streets
From son to dad I love you rest in peace

[Chorus]
So much death up on the city streets
Until we meet my soldiers rest in peace

[Verse 2]
I never understood life and how I got here
I just live and try to learn till it's my time to disappear
And see really where my homies at on the other side
Is there a heaven or a hell or is it all a lie
Make believe I ain't gone belive till I see
Is there really a heaven for a true G'
If it is I know Sterling made it, Pimp made it,
My daddy made it, they was real but got player hated
Pimp your gone but your spirit ain't my nigga
You remembered as a legend couldn't nobody out rock it
You made that style that these rookies trying to imitate
They fake as fake I'm here to put them in they place
The one only pimp one gone stop trying to be him
And I got a glock with seventeen for that dog pimp
Ester did Hec cause she took Kin I'm took her
When you get that he gone stomp you
And when I get there we gone jump you
Otis from the thirteenth bit the dust
It's a must we strap up and retaliate in a rush
Bust flush that beef like shit
Spend that bin just hit and hit till start the click
Sterling lived a soldier died a soldier
Had respect for knocking heads clean off the shoulder
From the magnolia
All the players from that U.P.T.
1,2,3 that truth to the game rest in peace

[Chorus]
So much death up on the city streets
Until we meet my soldiers rest in peace

[Verse 3]
Pay attention to this song
Once your gone your gone
It ain't no coming back once your home your home
Every day I hit the door my momma preaching to me
Doogie stop runing the streets son do it for me
She know I'm bout money strictly about balling
The life your living I hope your daddy ain't calling
That things I go throught I think resting is best
I'm chilling while I'm in flesh but I'll be happy when I rest
I got people to see, people to meet, people to greet
Just peep what the other world got for me
Is it joy like they see or nothing at all
I'm ball till I fall with my back against the wall
Chilling on the block till the man come get me
Mark Fuller is a chilling spot cause I bringing blunts with me

[Chorus]
So much death up on the city streets
Until we meet my soldiers rest in peace
So much death up on the city streets
Until we meet my soldiers rest in peace
