Mogadishu

Lyrics

[Intro: E-Dot] (Wake up). Uh huh. (Wake up). What's good? (Wake up). What's good, yo? (Wake up). Uh huh [Verse 1: E-Dot] What up, black? Yo, it's your brother. How you doing fool? Things cool? Boys tell me that you be playing pool at the school [?] run up a debt and get my peoples upset at you. Make 'em mack a fool I'm sorry for leaving all the crumbs that I did But ma, she acting bugged, thinking that I do a bid Wanting to march in my life with no fun, saying I be doing rugs and acting trifling for fun So I'm flashing—something I gotta do with my crew Sipping [?] brew with much to do Getting respect that ma do. She never gave me, true? The only man I wanted in our life was some presidents on loot So I call to say that "I'mma miss you Yo, I joined the army and I'm off to Mogadishu To be all that I can be—bloom into March flower Goodbye, tomorrah. 0-six-hundred hours" [Interlude: (Friend) and E-Dot] (Hello?) Yo, it's me again. Don't know why I'm calling. Feels as though I've fallen (Stress has got you off and out of shape?) Oh man. I love tomorrah. I'm killing mental reasons I don't understand [Verse 2: E-Dot] I wanna speak to mama about the sweaters—it's cold Rather sling 'caine than be a vet. I think I changed my mind I wanna come home and stay the century Go back out now. Home's a penitentiary I'm all confused. Self-abusing got me tripping Feel myself slipping, man, into the grip of sand [?] let me go. Don't wanna leave 'em fucked up, dog 'Cause me and the block star 'cause now I can see far I apologize for all I've done. Now you the only one That's thinking "How 'bout ma?" But I hope to return Sporting garments of metals, sipping gin letting butterflies settle So give my mother my love and, brother, hope for the best. To get Head off this mess, I'll need an "S" on my chest And I know that you with me in mind, love—it's faith I'm out. Peace and elevate [Outro: E-Dot] It's all about love for the game, for the family For papa—he made a man of me For mama. It's real, black Fuck what you heard 'cause this is real fact Love for the game, for the family For papa—he made a man of me For mama. It's real, black Fuck what you heard 'cause this is real fact
