Master P - When They Gone Lyrics
It's 1995, alot of brothers done diedAlot sisters, them mothers, them fathersAnd aunties, and grandma's done left to cryNow he nothing but a memory, used to be a friend of meSaid he'd never die, but now he's six feet deepWith a tombstone, oh my god my brother's goneAnd i don't even even think i can go onCause it hurtsTo lose someone you love to this madnessAnd killing, murder, shoot-em-up, this game of drugsDoctors pumped his chest, my daddy said let him restA team rolled up and put him to his final testHands got cold, god rest his soulHe walked out his body to another another episodeThen the window openedThen they put him in the final frontierYou know what happened in the endChorus:I wish i could've seen him before he died (talked to him)But when they gone, that's when we realizedI wish i could've seen him before he died (talked to him)But when they gone, that's when we realizedFront, back, side-to-sideBut who will be the next victim to roll in that black rideFront, back, side-to-sideIt might be youThe next victim to ride in that black rideJust another homicide for the west county timesFools gettin' took out the game at the at the drop of a dimeThe game's gettin' deep, i toss in my sleepBut would a young young live to see 2-3Killin' don't fase, fools think i'm crazyMuslims on every corner, handin' out black daisiesName scratched off the wall, ain't no final callUsed to slang bean pies, now it's 'bout that white ballOnly fifteen, already got fiendsAnd workin' the ghetto like jack stalk could work some beansLivin' off a high, gold ones on his ride*****es on his side, but only livin' to retireAin't that a shame, took him out the gameSame fool he used to roll with, yelled out his namePopped in his chest, didn't wear his vestSome day his kid took his first step, he took his last breathChorusWho's under the white sheetSomebody bring the yellow tapeThe ghetto took him under, today will be a sad dayAin't no time to cry, no time to shed no tearsYou know the way he died, the same way he livedWho was his killer, found him dead on his kneesSame room with his wife, and his kid left to grieveHopin' that this is a nightmare, one pop and he's outta thereGod rest his soul, left his kid in a wheelchairScared for his life, his daddy took the ghetto flightAnd at the funeral, momma said boy you know it's gonna be alrightBut know he's gone, ain't nobody to run his homeAnother kingpin, stripped from the ghetto throneLost at the game of life, ain't no time to think twiceThe same fool he trusted, and i sleeps with his wifeTagged his toe, strapped him in the ziplockAnother another flip-flopped, pop was slangin' that crack rockNow he's gone, amazing grace his last songSix ballers carried him out the church, took take his his home4 limos, 3 cutlass, 2 el doggs, a cop and the hearseEverybody had they lights onAnd when the straps pops to lower him down in the graveSee it was sad the way his his family misbehavedHis family cryin', but everybody gots to dieBut you won't feel what they feel'till somebody in your family diesChorus
