Lyrics

[Verse 1] I dedicate this to all my homies restin' in peace Sorry that you had to leave so soon Believe me, if I could turn back the hands of time And bring you back So we could drink another bottle We could smoke another sack, then I would I put that on the hood that your memory Is forever with me 'til the very day they bury me Everyday that goes by is unhappy Somebody tell me, why it had to be Scrappy? Man, we used to chill, drink 40s, and play ball Since elementary school, when we ran through them halls And then I got a phone call, late one evening My ears didn't wanna believe what they were hearing Had to step out of the house, looked in the sky And asked God why, as a tear dropped my eye October 31st, the Lord took you from us I send my love to your moms, sister, and brother [Chorus] Seems so strange That you had to go away Why'd you have to leave so soon? The streets just ain't the same without you Seems so strange That you had to go away Why'd you have to leave so soon? The streets just ain't the same without you [Verse 2] Things just ain't the same, dog There won't be anybody in the hood That'll represent your name, dog Someday, I'ma have to go too But it's cool, I ain't trippin', it'll be just like it used to For those who lost somebody in their life You're feelin' me when I say this pain is killin' me I know he's watchin', hearin' what I'm talkin' Behind me like my shadow Clearin' my path when I be walkin' God rest the souls of those that passed on So live while you can 'cause life don't last long It's a sad song and we all gotta hear it In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit So all I do is think back about the days When my homie was alive, wishin' he was here today At night I pray, askin' for a good tomorrow We never know when they're takin' back the days we borrowed [Chorus] Seems so strange That you had to go away Why'd you have to leave so soon? The streets just ain't the same without you Seems so strange That you had to go away Why'd you have to leave so soon? The streets just ain't the same without you [Verse 3] Every day I ask, but can't no one explain Why we all live to die and bring our family pain Nearly goin' insane, tryin' to maintain my composure This one's goin' out to all my fallen soldiers It ain't fair, but tell me what we gonna do It ain't up to me or you, we gotta stick to the rules Man, it hurts to see another homie in a hearse I feel like a time bomb just waitin' to burst It's like a curse that we're born with It's kinda hard to shine it off and ignore it Now bear with me 'cause I'm hurtin' Nothin' is for certain God is the host, he says when to close the curtain Uh, it ain't workin', cryin' just won't bring him back So don't let my family cry when I'm layin' on my back in my casket R.I.P. to all my G's who's deceased We live and die in the streets [Chorus] Seems so strange That you had to go away Why'd you have to leave so soon? The streets just ain't the same without you Seems so strange That you had to go away Why'd you have to leave so soon? The streets just ain't the same without you Seems so strange That you had to go away Why'd you have to leave so soon? The streets just ain't the same without you Seems so strange That you had to go away Why'd you have to leave so soon? The streets just ain't the same without you Seems so strange That you had to go away Why'd you have to leave so soon? The streets just ain't the same without you Seems so strange That you had to go away Why'd you have to leave so soon? The streets just ain't the same without you
