[Verse 1] They ask me am I okay, They ask me if I'm happy Are they asking me that because of the shit that's been thrown at me Or am I just a little snappy And they genuinely care Doody, most of my life its just been me and you there and I continuosly stare at pictures of you I never gotta say I love you as much as I wanted to but I do Yeah I say it now and you can't hear me, What the fuck good does that do me now, But somehow I know you're near me in presence Oh, I went and dropped some presents off easter to them Two little beautiful boys of yours to try to ease their minds a little And dawg you'll never believe this but Sharonda actually talks to me now Jesus and everyone else is just tryna pick up the pieces Man how could you touch so many fucking lives and just leave us They say grievance has a way of affecting everyone different If it's true how the fuck am I supposed to get over you, Difficult as it sounds...
[Verse 2] Doody, that's what we called each other, I don't know where it came from but it just stuck with us, We was always brothers Never thought about each other's skin colours 'Til one day we was walking up the block in the summer It was like 90 degrees I was catching a sun burn Tryna walk under the trees Just to give me some comfort I'm moaning I just wanna get home When I look over and your shirt is off I'm like you gonna fry and you're like, "No I wont, I'm black stupid And black people they got melanin in their skin, we don't burn" Meanwhile, my face is glowing and I feel Like I'm on fire And the entire time you're just laughing at me And snapping at me with your shirt, bastard And I still have to get you back for that shit And by the way them Playboy rings, My Mother stole from you Well Nate finally got 'em back Shit it must have been at least 16 years ago, Well I put 'em in your cask-oww Moving past it, it still ain't registered yet But you can bet your legacy they'll never forget The Motor City, Motown, hip hop vet, hip hop Shop, dreads it don't stop there Yeah, as difficult as it sounds...
[Verse 3] And this may sound a little strange but I'mma tell it I found that jacket that you left at my wedding And I picked it up to smell it I wrapped it up in plastic until I put it in glass And hang it up in the hallway so I can always look at it And as for all of me and D12 we feel like fuck rap It feels like our General just fucking died in our lap We shut off all our pagers, All our cell numbers has changed Our two-ways are in the trash So some cats will have to find a new way And I know that it feels like the dreams will die with you today But the truth is there all still here and you ain't Purple Gang, you gotta keep pressing on Don't ever give up the dream dawg, I got love for you all And Doody, it's true you bought people together who never Woulda been in the same room if it wasn't for you You were the peacemaker Doody, I know sometimes you were moody But you hated confrontation And truly hated the feuding But you were down for yours whenever it came to scrapping If it had to happen, it had to happen Believe me, I know you're the one who taught me to Throw them balls back on Dresden From making cars to paintballing Getting arrested To sitting across from each other in cells laughing and jesting They tried to hit us for 5 years for that, no question I guess them hookers and bums that we shot up Didn't show up for court So we got off on a technicality, left sweating Me, you and what's his face I forgot his fucking name Shame he even came to your funeral He betrayed our team And if I see him again I'ma punch him in the fucking face And that's on Hallie Jade, Whitney Lane and Alaina's name I
