illest man alive now I'm reading your eulogy Eyes so serious, you told me hold my head Pursue this rap shit and go forward never backwards While you gripped Tec's tight, and ran niggaz out of town I
ripped up mics, showin wack niggaz how to sound Still your essence, was callin By two gunshots, at close range, your frame had fallen Now like a
angel you've risen And you will stay in my heart, and yo I
wish you were still livin Word... this is in memory of I'm not sure about any of these names Zachary Bro, Cousin Paula Harry O-Fives [Biggie Smalls] "Rest in peace" Yeah, Sam-O, 183rd Joshua Faust "Rest in peace" Brian Brown y'all, yeah [Guru] To my man Brian B, I
remember how you used to be You were the
flyest in the
club with three bitches doin rub-a-dub You was the
pimp of all panderers GQ, Johnny Presley, fuckin up the
elegances So many hookers on your schedule Slammin Cadillac doors and mackin whores on the
regular You used to boost, the
slickest of suits Climbin through the
back windows on the
bus, you was ill Dukes Until that chick you vicked, for the

crime You know the
system is devised to keep you deaf dumb and blind Like Scarface said, them cats are smart In order for things to change we must all play a
part It's easy for us to blame society But now it's way too late, and we must take responsibility To all my brothers in the
streets I
know you feel you gotta hustle cause your peeps gotta eat Makin moves right and exact; don't wanna see you layin flat Don't wanna see ya catch a
bullet black If we don't build we'll be destroyed That's the
challenge we face in this race of poor and unemployed Freud, a
philosopher, but I'm a
realist So philosophize this, without love we won't exist To those who passed out there, in the
deserts and the
jungles with pain on their shoulders, and heavy bundles I
pray each one will, ascend to new heights and new enlightenment And this is why I'm writin it Yeah... this is in memory of I'm not sure about all of these names Linnet Grinnich, Cookie Murray Yeah "Rest in peace" Ross, Laverne La-La Eyelif John Hood "Rest in peace" Kevin Fredricks, Donny Charles Leslie Clark, and Will Clark "Rest in peace" Tommy Saunders, Princess Di Don Clark, Betty Shabazz "Rest in peace" This is in memory of...
