| [00:00.67] |
They ask me am i okay, they ask me if i'm happy |
| [00:03.35] |
Are they asking me that because of the shit thats been thrown at me |
| [00:06.66] |
Or am i just a little snappy and they genuinely care |
| [00:09.87] |
Dudey, most of my life its just been me and you there |
| [00:12.88] |
And i continuously stare at pictures of you |
| [00:15.35] |
I never got to say i love you as much as i wanted to But i do |
| [00:19.35] |
Yeah, i say it now when you can't hear me |
| [00:22.03] |
What the fuck good does that do me now |
| [00:24.31] |
But somehow i know youre near me, your presence |
| [00:26.24] |
Oh i went and dropped some presents off at easter to them |
| [00:29.29] |
Two little beautiful boy of yours to try to ease their minds a little |
| [00:32.74] |
And dog youll never believe this |
| [00:35.54] |
But Sheronda actually talks to me now, jesus |
| [00:38.74] |
And everyone else is just trying to pick up the pieces |
| [00:41.79] |
Man, how could you touch so many fucking lives and just leave us |
| [00:44.98] |
They say grievance has its way of affecting everyone different |
| [00:48.74] |
If its true |
| [00:49.95] |
How the fuck im supposed to get over you |
| [00:50.71] |
Difficult as it sounds, dudey |
| [00:54.07] |
I drop a tear in the rhyme |
| [00:55.46] |
The day you find it is the day i stop missing Deshan |
| [00:58.10] |
Halting, it was written, it was weoven for a soldier to leave so suddenly |
| [01:02.83] |
Got me wide open |
| [01:04.96] |
I could die, take a soul so dope and |
| [01:08.16] |
Turn around leave us all heartbroken |
| [01:10.55] |
Know that youre saying, keep going, be a man, no emotion |
| [01:13.81] |
Its your dudey, till we meet again, dudey |
| [01:17.85] |
Dudey, thats what we called each other |
| [01:19.87] |
I dont know where it came from but it just stuck with us |
| [01:22.56] |
We was always brothers |
| [01:24.09] |
Never thought about each others skin colours |
| [01:26.43] |
Till one day we was walking up the block in the summer |
| [01:29.47] |
It was like 90 degress, i was catching a sunburn |
| [01:33.53] |
Tryna walk under the trees just to get me some comfort |
| [01:35.86] |
Im moaning i just wanna get home and i look over and your shirt is off |
| [01:39.46] |
Im like youre gonna fry, youre like no i won't im black stupid |
| [01:43.32] |
And black people they got melatonin, in their skin |
| [01:46.53] |
We dont burn, meanwhile my face is glowing, and i feel like im on fire |
| [01:50.19] |
And the entire time youre laughing at me |
| [01:53.29] |
And snapping at me with your shirt bastard |
| [01:55.54] |
And i still have to get you back for that shit |
| [01:58.37] |
And by the way them playboy rings me mother stole from you, well nate finally got them back |
| [02:03.01] |
Shit, that mustve been at least 16 years ago |
| [02:06.47] |
Well ill put them in your cask-ah moving past it |
| [02:09.42] |
It still ain't registered yet |
| [02:11.14] |
But you can bet, your legacy theyll never forget |
| [02:13.88] |
The motor-city motown, hiphop vet, hiphop shop dreads, it dont stop there |
| [02:20.55] |
Yeah, as difficult as it sounds |
| [02:22.85] |
Dudey |
| [02:23.51] |
I drop a tear in the rhyme |
| [02:24.83] |
The day you find it is the day i stop missing Deshan |
| [02:27.22] |
Halting, it was written, it was weoven for a soldier to leave so suddenly |
| [02:32.95] |
Got me wide open |
| [02:34.63] |
I could die, take a soul so dope and |
| [02:38.12] |
Turn around leave us all heartbroken |
| [02:39.96] |
Know that youre saying, keep going, be a man, no emotion |
| [02:43.14] |
Its your dudey, till we meet again, dudey |
| [02:46.64] |
And this may sounds a little strange but I'mma tell it |
| [02:49.24] |
I found a jacket that you left at my wedding, i picked it up to smell it |
| [02:52.69] |
I wrapped it up in plastic, until i put it in glass, and hang it up in the hallway so i can always look at it |
| [02:59.27] |
And as for all and me in D-12 we feel like fuck rap |
| [03:02.67] |
It feels like our general just fucking died in our lap |
| [03:05.72] |
We shut off all our pages, all our cell numbers, our chains, our 2-ways |
| [03:09.12] |
Are in the trash, so some cats'll have to find a new way |
| [03:12.57] |
And i know that it feels like the dreams will die with you today |
| [03:15.31] |
But the truth is, theyre all still here and you ain't |
| [03:18.77] |
Purple gang, you gotta keep pressing on, dont ever give up your dream dog |
| [03:22.85] |
I got love for you all |
| [03:24.98] |
And dudey, its true you brought people together who never would of been in the same room if it wasn't for you |
| [03:30.83] |
You were the peace maker dudey, i know sometimes you were moody |
| [03:34.29] |
But you hated confrontation and truly hated the fueding |
| [03:37.39] |
But you were down for yours whenever it came to scrapping |
| [03:40.78] |
If it had to happen it had to happen |
| [03:43.68] |
Believe me i know youre the one who taught me to throw them bones back on dresden |
| [03:47.49] |
From nicking cars to paintballing getting arrested |
| [03:50.77] |
To sitting across from each other in cells laughing and jesting |
| [03:54.00] |
They tried to hit us for 5 years for that no question |
| [03:57.15] |
I guess them hookers and bums thats we shot up didn't show up for court |
| [04:00.50] |
So we got off on a technicality, left sweating |
| [04:03.70] |
Me you and whats his face, i forgot his fucking name |
| [04:06.80] |
Shame he even came to your funeral, he betrayed our team |
| [04:10.28] |
And if i seem him again I'mma punch him in the fucking face |
| [04:13.27] |
And thats on Hayley-Jade, Whitney-lane and Alainas name |
| [04:16.53] |
I let the pistol bang once, just to lick a shot in the air for you |
| [04:20.85] |
And pour some liquor out with Obie in the parking lot |
| [04:23.86] |
At 54 just before we were supposed to get in cars to come and see you and smalls |
| [04:29.13] |
Difficult as it sounds |
| [04:30.70] |
Dudey |
