Lyrics

I never knew the day would come/ and i would reflect on this/a heart to heart/explaning my sentiments/ it's evident/ we all got a story to tell/and i'm a tell mine/but i ain't get no bullet wounds/or jail time/yo looking down on my life man/ it's so sudden/pulling no punches/ and no fronting/just true to me/usually/that package never comes together/changes never/it's the same way till you read my eulogy/whoa/i'm getting ahead of myself/my life is playing out in stages/ wit 10 million people watching/i give you this option/stay around or move along/in the long run/ we will all have our day in the sun/son i hope u understanding what daddy had to do/the time wasn't right/and i couldn't even provide for you/ mommy too/yo we was goin through it hard/ no matter what we go through/i know you looking down on us...yea/

yea what up my dude/i know it's been a year or two/but i had to think about the right words/ i wanna say to you/here i go/such a cool dude/always went about your business/never thought for a minute/about the way/you was living...nah/i mean the the way you was feeling/couldn't see it probably/had it pented up for the longest/sucidal thoughts on ya mind/but to the naked eye/it was looking like u was just perfectly fine/and i couldn't even catch it myself/knowing you didn't smoke/so i don't know/ y it ain't me when you asked me for a cigarette/it would get deeper/from there on/it's rare form/still can't belive/that your gone/i still mourn/on/it goes on to that fateful night/when you walked up to the roof/couldn't take no more/my homie really tightend the noose/ and a unfaithful broad/ had you revaulate the life that u was living for/ya son is what i thought about/as you lay motionless/then i turned around/to hear this fake chick hootin and hollerin/after the funeral/you think shortie was bothering/to honor your memory...nah/she just laughed like it wasn't nothin/frontin like she really cared..yea/ as long as i'm here/i'm a hold you down/making sure ur memory never falls on silent ground/yea... i solemnly swear that/

flashback...uh/1992/let me i'm a about/8 years old at the time/in my own zone/at home/ then i heard the telephone ring/picked it up/it's aunt beverly/now i'm starting to feel a strange feeling/in my soul/something just happen that i couldn't control/it seems like a premintion/of some sort/ but so forth/i didn't know how much/that this loss would affect me/let's see/my mother came into the living room/and said uncle stanley just died/he's gone she cried/even though i'm too young 2 underdtand/i felt exactly what my mom felt inside/so hurt and torn her older brother/dead and gone/a good dude/but the opposite sex/just did him wrong/a low down dirty chick/with deception in her eyes/hittin the town very hard man/and layin with different guys/all of which led to my uncle's demise/and i regret the fact/that i ain't wanna give you hug/when you asked me/saw how you looked at me/i knew it tore u up inside/the way things was looking man i knew you given up inside/but i know u held me down thorough years/my own personal guardian angel/i must thank you/cause i'm movin down this rocky road/you walked me down this faithfully man/and helped me lighten the load/ and i know that/
