[00:05.53]Yo, what up, my nigga?
[00:32.55]You know, I was in the hood
[00:36.61]I just thought I'd stop by and holler at you for a minute
[00:39.85]Pour out a little liquor or somethin'
[00:42.22]Nigga, we done been through a lot of shit together
[00:43.35]From runnin' these streets to bein' down for whatever
[00:45.85]And now that you're gone I got a whole lot of shit to tell ya
[00:50.02]Things I should've said way back when we was younger
[00:52.46]Remember when we used to roll hand in hand?
[00:55.14]And now I'm trippin' on how I really miss you, man
[00:58.45]And remember when you and me would say
[00:59.69]We'd get up out this hood and everything would be okay
[01:03.44]It's all good now
[01:05.81]My nigga, we out the hood now
[01:07.19]We had the same ideas, but not the same careers
[01:10.56]We shared the same old laugh, but not the same tears
[01:15.36]You were my homie, my stoney, my Rollie
[01:18.04]My nigga and never placed no bitch befo' me
[01:21.10]Man, I swear to God I love for that shit
[01:24.03]Why'd you have to get hit? Where was I? What time was it?
[01:27.40]You were supposed to get older with me
[01:28.65]On stage, hands on shoulders with me
[01:32.15]Coppin' 'em Range Rovers with me
[01:34.70]Sittin' on thangs and smokin' trees
[01:37.58]And if it wasn't for the will that God had made
[01:41.69]I'd turn back the hands of time and take your place
[01:43.06]Sittin' here sippin' on this Hennessey
[01:46.06]Just thinkin' about what you meant to me, my nigga
[01:49.31]Even though you're gone, you will always be my nigga
[01:53.92]Though you made it home, I'm still missin' you, my nigga
[01:58.10]I'm feelin' like the timing was wrong, my nigga
[01:59.85]I know you're smilin' down sayin', Carry on, my nigga
[02:09.06]Sometimes my nights can get long, my nigga
[02:10.49]Sometimes I feel God did me wrong, my nigga
[02:11.55]So I had to write a song, my nigga
[02:12.67]Just to let you know that you're still my nigga
[02:14.79]I wish, I wish, I wish
[02:16.55]I wish, I wish, I wish
[02:18.35]Your little son is lookin' at me like, Where's my daddy?
[02:20.91]And your thirteen-year old daughter is mad 'cuz she understands
[02:22.65]Promised your mama I'd take care of the family
[02:26.03]But she's so hurt, she turns away my helpin' hands
[02:28.46]Damn, I wish your ass was here, my nigga
[02:31.21]To grow that gray beard and smoke that cigar, my nigga
[02:34.52]And we would talk about you gettin' up out this game
[02:37.26]And you would tell me how it keeps callin' your name
[02:40.06]We used to ride, ride, ride
[02:42.25]Never afraid to die, die, die
[02:43.88]But some times we'd cry, cry, cry
[02:46.50]Askin' the Lord, why, why, why
[02:49.24]They're tearin' down these projects
[02:52.49]We were homies for like twenty thug years
[02:53.80]Sat in church and cried the same thug tears
[02:55.92]You remember when Vibe World Premier
[02:58.29]How we used to share the same old gear
[03:02.34]And remember when you and me would say
[03:05.03]We'd get up out this hood and everything would be okay
[03:08.02]It's all good now
[03:09.89]My nigga, we out the hood now
[03:12.08]It's so easy for folks to say, Rob, just live on
[03:17.19]When I'm dyin' every second that you're gone
[03:20.31]Nevertheless, I try my best to be strong
[03:21.31]Hopin' you said your prayers before you went on home
[03:25.87]We done stood on these blocks and just shot the breeze
[03:28.24]We'd slap-box dead in the middle of streets
[03:30.36]And if a fight broke out, you would take up for me
[03:34.04]Now all I have left are these ghetto memories
[03:36.36]I wish, I wish, I wish
[03:39.53]I wish, I wish, I wish
[03:42.40]Uh, uh, yo' dog, I can't explain how I miss you
[03:46.08]We stayed together, coppin' cane, poppin' pistols
[03:47.64]I miss you most, puttin' the doo-rag over your bean head
[03:49.52]Even out the hood on the scene you brag
[03:52.20]Comin' up off the fiends wit bags, runnin' up out the cleanest Jag
[03:56.13]You was the closest nigga I had
[03:58.76]Look how we stayed aces hustled, made big faces
[04:01.38]I wish we could trade places
[04:02.68]F**k givin' you ice I'd rather give you life
[04:04.74]And the things that I had, I'd give you twice
[04:08.31]What the deal, my nigga? I know you holdin' it down
[04:12.73]If you could see me you would say, I'm talkin' soft right now
[04:15.85]But it's hard for me to say when I'ma see you again
[04:18.10]And I know it's f**ked up, I gotta talk through this pen
[04:21.10]But you'd died for the love of the dough
[04:23.59]The love of the block sixteen you was runnin' the spot
[04:26.65]Boy, your mama used to hate how we stood on the curb
[04:29.64]Hangin' with wild thug niggas smokin' the herb
[04:31.95]I'm gonna keep pourin' this liquor and that's my word
[04:35.94]This here is for niggas that be flippin' them birds, word up
[04:38.69]Even though you're gone you will always be my nigga
[04:41.06]Even though you're home I'm still missin you, my nigga
[04:44.87]I'm feelin' like the timing was wrong, my nigga
[04:46.56](I'm feelin' like timing was wrong)
[04:48.61]I know you're smilin' down sayin', Carry on, my nigga
[04:52.80](Radio, please don't take the nigga out my song)
[04:55.29]Sometimes my nights can get long, my nigga
[04:58.22](Let it play on, play on, play on, play on, play on)
[05:00.22]Sometimes I feel God did me wrong, my nigga
[05:01.53]So I had to write a song, my nigga
[05:02.66]Just to let you know that you're still my nigga
