So Much Death

Lyrics

[Intro] Rest in peace My heart goes out Darnell Williams UPT for life [Verse 1] Every day, I sit and wonder why I lost my daddy so young Just reminisce, think how me and him had so much fun Teachin' me man-to-man things 'bout the game Lettin' me know always let 'em hang, be 'bout my change Never thought death come that close to home, I was wrong Never thought my daddy was goin' away, I was wrong Him and my mama went through they little stages, always fight Threw him out and made him walk the street, but it was alright 'Cause I knew he would be back tomorrow with the sorrow She would take the frown away, let him stay All he wanted me to do was to be cool, stay in school But the dudes that I hanged with rearranged the whole attitude When he died, I started hustlin' to get paid I did the opposite, I know you turnin' in your grave When I pray, I know you hear me at night It ain't right, but I ain't white and all I got is the street life I know you lookin' down sayin' you ain't raise me this way Don't be mad, we'll talk about it when I come one day Until we meet, I'll keep your name on the street From son to dad, I love you, rest in peace [Chorus] So much death up on the city streets Until we meet, my soldiers, rest in peace [Verse 2] I never understood life and how I got here I just live and try to learn until it's my time to disappear And see really where my homies at on the other side Is there a heaven or hell or is it all a lie? Make-believe, I ain't gon' believe 'til I see Is there really a heaven for a true G? If it is, I know Sterling made it Pimp made it, my daddy made it They was real, but got player-hated Pimp, you're gone, but your spirit ain't, my nigga You remembered as a legend, couldn't nobody out-rock ya You made that style that these rookies tryin' to imitate They fake as fake, I'm here to put 'em in they place The one and only Pimp gone, stop tryin' to be him And I got a Glock with seventeen for that dog Kim And split that hat, 'cause she took him, I'ma take her And when you get there, he gon' stomp you When I get there, we gon' jump you Otis from the thirteenth bit the dust It's a must we strap up and retaliate in a rush Bust, flush that beef like shit Spin the bend, just hit and hit 'til it start to click Sterling lived a soldier, died a soldier Had respect for knockin' heads clean off the shoulder From the Magnolia All the players from that UPT The one, two, three That true to the game, rest in peace [Chorus] So much death up on the city streets Until we meet, my soldiers, rest in peace [Verse 3] Pay attention to this song Once you're gone, you're gone It ain't no comin' back, once you're home, you're home Every day, I hit the door, my mama preachin' to me "Doogie, stop runnin' the streets, son, do it for me" She know I'm 'bout money, strictly 'bout ballin' The life you're livin', I hope your daddy ain't callin' The things I go through, I think restin' is best I'm chillin' while I'm in flesh, but I'll be happy when I rest I got people to see, people to meet, people to greet Just peep what the other world got for me Is it joy like they see or nothing at all? I'ma ball 'til I fall with my back against the wall I'm chillin' on the block 'til the man come get me Mark, hold us a chillin' spot, 'cause I'm bringin' blunts with me [Chorus] So much death up on the city streets Until we meet, my soldiers, rest in peace So much death up on the city streets Until we meet, my soldiers, rest in peace
