Veteran’s Memorial

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Memories play back like film I flash back, we was little niggas, living most real 1989's when we first met We first clicked over convo, gettin' twisted And dunn ran Earth's crib, cutting outta school Watching cable, it seemed like the other day Through the eyes of a stranger, we was kids But in our own minds, we was grown mens Outside on the block, we would play the bench And y'all play the rock every chance y'all got Whilst I sat back and just watched Hey, what can I say? The same back then as I am today I can recall me, Jamil, and Jamal In the room drinking straight vodka with they moms When I'd walk home with the big Nefertiti charm Back with the light blue camoflauge suit, god Me and Hav' doing it hard, trying to get on We sample songs on the box with Record and Pause Killa B didn't even get his first firearm And I was still holding one shot derringers [Chorus] Who would think any one of us would cease to exist? Left with just thoughts of the past to reminisce Sometimes I see a chick walking past with ya kids Or find an old flick of us on 1-2-5th All the shit that we been through, it boils to this? Dunn, I wish we could start it all over again [Verse 2] '95, we on top, touring the States A lotta times we even took the click overseas Came a long way from the hallway Sitting in the staircase with Bacardi Bring the honeycomb speaker outside to bang While we would share drinks with the other that came Triple L stayed taking they cash in dice games Killa Black grew to keep an ice grill, dunn was not playin' Yammy, The Most Infamous, told me one day "Put the bogies down, 'fore I pound you out, P" But it was all love, we was each other's dunns We held each other down, borrowed each other guns It's hard to believe that niggas so strong Could die so easily, forever be gone I could still feel the web of your palm against mine 'Cause we did our handshake all the time Why it have to be your time to go, and not mines? Spilled tears, contemplating to my delf, cryin' All the laughs we shared, and fights we had All the nights we would get nice, damn Plates of food we split in half I dedicate the rest of my life to all my niggas that's passed [Chorus] Who would think any one of us would cease to exist? Left with just thoughts of the past to reminisce Sometimes I see a chick walking past with ya kids Or find an old flick of us on 1-2-5th All the shit that we been through, it boils to this? Dunn, I wish we could start it all over again [Outro] What's the fuckin' deal? Motherfuckin' Scarface, nigga Killa, for Bean, Fugi, Gooey I can't take no more, nigga Corey, Black Ed, the fuck, namsayin'?
