Why did my homie have to die, with the tears in my eyes I came to say goodbye, say goodbye [repeat 2X]
Just passin through to let you know that I remember the times we shared Your mother prayed for us both night and day I guess this is what she feared The picture in my room keeps your image sharply in my head All in my head I just can't let go of the memories I had; will this madness ever end?
[Chorus]
Sometimes I wonder if it's better to be free or be in jail Incarceration at this time to me is better than heaven or hell I often wonder if you'd still be here if you had worn your vest Worn your vest You most likely soon see me we'll all be a memory if we don't change this mess... change it or we gone y'all
[Chorus]
Hi, passing you through to let you know Passing you through to let you know That I, gonna tell everyone I know Gonna tell everyone I know How we, used to send them to the floor Used to send them to the floor Have we, have we forgot to mourn
Ohh, how long, how long, how long will they mourn Ohh, how long, how long, how long will they mourn
