R.I.P.
B.I.B. Lyrics

Wassup man
Greeting

Look, this for my people
Dedication to loved ones

You heard me my dog
A greeting to a lost friend

Man I miss my dog
Missing a lost friend

My dog know I miss him too
Acknowledgement of shared feelings

But I feel it man
Acknowledgment of the deep sadness

I feel them all in my heart
The memory of lost friends is always with him

I know you right here, right with me
A belief that his lost friend is still with him in spirit

Man just riding on with his niggas
Belief that his lost friend is still with his other friends

You heard me, I miss a lot of people
Acknowledgment of the many friends he has lost

They know I miss them too
Belief that his lost friends know he misses them

Nigga took care for my heart
A friend who took care of him emotionally

When they killed my dog
Referring to the loss of a close friend

Ruined every last dream that we had to ball
The death of his friend ended their aspirations to succeed together

Me and this nigga was like brothers
Friendship was strong as brotherhood

Since we was small
A friendship that started in childhood

I needed anything he was the first I'd call
A friend he could always rely on

He was down the road with me
Friend was with him through thick and thin

If I got in beef
A friend that would fight for him

By fucking them hoes with me
A promiscuous friend that enjoyed women with him

He was H-O-T
A friend who was fun, entertaining, and exciting

Kept it real and representing
A friend who was honest and stayed true to himself

Via-13 got a little girl
A friend who had a daughter

I treat like it's for me
A friend who treated his daughter like his own

and a lot of hoes conversation
A friend who talked to him about women a lot

It's B.G and L.T.
Referring to themselves by their nicknames

Never had a friend like him
Acknowledgment of the uniqueness of his friendship

He never had a friend like me
Belief that he was a good friend as well

Snorted half a grand of dope
A friend who did drugs with him

On the flight together
Traveling together while doing drugs

Broke trying to make all night together
Struggling together financially

Now Lil' Ten gon' be a part
His friend's daughter is now a part of his life

Of my life forever
Her presence will never leave his life

Wish Lord wouldn't of took you to rest you
Wishing his friend did not have to die

Look me and my dog broke bread together
Sharing meals together with his friend

Hot, fucking hoes in the same bed together
Having sex with multiple women together

Of top, it's all gravy, you in six feet
Accepting his friend's death

Just remember I love you, so Rest In Peace
Expressing love and affection for his friend

I still can't believe you left out here solo
Unable to come to terms with the loss of his friend

I'm doing the damn thing for me and you both
Dedication to success for himself and his friend's memory

But remember I love you, so Rest In Peace
Expressing continued love despite his passing

1997, November I had bad days in my life
Reflecting on a difficult time period

It looked like that was the worst
Feeling like the worst had happened

Niggas shot my round like a dog
Another friend was killed

Left him for dead
His friend was left without medical attention

Chest bust wide open
His friend's wound was fatal

Non-stop he blead
His friend bled out from his wounds

Just the day before we talked about gettin sober
Reflecting on missed opportunities with his friend

In the blink of an eye
How sudden and unexpected his friend's death was

My whodi life is over
Feeling like a part of himself died with his friend

I know there's a good reason
Belief in the grand plan of life

Why the good Lord chose you
Questioning why his friend was taken

I know when your at your real
Belief that his friend was genuine

Cause down here you was a soldier
Referring to his friend as a warrior or fighter

Always said "Do it, it can't be faded"
Words of encouragement from his friend

Always said "Do it you gon' make it"
Support and confidence from his friend

And I made It
Belief in his own success

I wish you were here to see
Regret for his friend not being able to witness his success

It's all gravy, I know you want me to let that be
Belief that his friend would want him to move on and accept his passing

Man I hate it
Expressing his sadness and heartache

I know you don't want me to be weak
Belief that his friend would want him to remain strong

So when I sheine, you shine
Sharing his success with his friend's memory

It's off the T-O-P
Referring to his own success in a tough industry

You was the Livin' Legend in the UPT
Reverence for his friend's legend status in their community

Do me a favor you and my daddy look down on me
Asking his friend and his own father to watch over him

You should see I'm balling out of control
Expressing success and wealth

I just got a deal with Cotsh for six zeros
Announcing a big business deal

And I had to be heavenly baby and niggas was hoes
Survival and success in a tough industry

They wasn't playin the game
Other people weren't as committed as he was

Hot Gold, it's over, it's cool
Expressing confidence and success

I'm a gangsta in the game I know the street rules
Success and respect in his environment

And I miss all my people that's resting in peace
Remembering all of his lost friends who have passed

And I miss all my people that's six feet deep
Remembering his friends who have died and been buried

Man, I'll see you when I get there
A belief in reuniting with his lost friends after his own passing

Rest In Peace to all my dogs uptown
Paying tribute to all of his lost friends

I mean I can't say all them names
Unable to list all of his lost friends by name

Because if I forget some body
Acknowledgement of the fear of forgetting someone

You know how that go
Awareness of how memory can fail

So it's a bunch of y'all man
Knowing that there are many friends who have passed

And y'all know where my heart at man
Expressions of love and affection for his lost friends
