Raised as G's, loc'ed out, and blazed the weed Get on the roof, let's get smoked out, and blaze with me Two in the morning and we still high, assed out Screamin', "Thug 'til I die!" before I passed out But now that you're gone, I'm in the zone Thinkin' I don't wanna die all alone, but now you gone And all I got left are stinkin' memories I love them niggas to death, I'm drinkin' Hennessy While tryin' to make it last I drank a fifth for that ass when you passed, 'cause life goes on How many brothers fell victim to the streets?
