Crossroad
Bone Thugs‐n‐Harmony Lyrics

Bone, bone, bone, bone, bone, bone, bone, bone, bone
Repetition of the word 'bone' as an introduction to the song

Tell me what ya gonna do
Questioning what one will do when faced with judgment

Where there ain't no where to run
There will be no escape from judgment

When judgment comes for you,
When one is faced with judgment

What ya gonna do
Questioning what one will do when faced with judgment

Where there ain't no where to hide
There will be no way to avoid judgment

'Cause it's gonna come for you
Judgment is inevitable

Let's all bring it in for Wally
Paying tribute to a friend named Wally

Eazy sees Uncle Charlie,
Reflecting on the deceased Eazy-E's thoughts about his Uncle Charlie

Little Boo, God's got him,
Boo is in God's care

And I'm gonna miss everybody,
The loss of loved ones is inevitable and painful

I done roll with flows my game, looked at him while he lay
Reflecting on the consequences of one's actions and decisions

When playing with destiny, play too deep for me to say,
When one gambles with fate, the outcome is uncertain

Lil Lazy came to me told me if he should decease
A conversation with a friend named Lil Lazy who expressed his desires after death

Well then please bury me by my Gran Gran
A request for a specific burial location

And when you can come follow me
A belief in an afterlife where one can be reunited with loved ones

God bless you workin on a plan to heaven
Expressing faith in God's plan for the afterlife

Follow the Lord all 24/7 days
A call to live a life dedicated to faith and righteousness

God is who we praise even though the devils all up in my face
Acknowledgement of the existence of evil, but still praising God

And he keepin' me safe and in my place
Grateful for God's protection and guidance

Say grace to the gates we race,
Praying for salvation and entrance into heaven

But I change the face of judge,
Challenging the traditional concept of judgment and justice

Then I guess my soul won't budge, grudge,
Standing firm in one's beliefs and principles despite opposition or resentment

Because there's no mercy for thugs,
Awareness of the consequences of a lifestyle that goes against societal norms and expectations

Ohh what can I do, it's all about a family and how we roll
Family is important and shapes one's behavior and decisions

Can I get a witness not enough fool
Requesting agreement and support from others

We livin' our lives to eternal our souls ay o ayo
Living life with the goal of achieving eternal salvation

Heey, and we pray, and we pray, and we pray, and we pray
Repetition of the act of prayer as a means of seeking guidance and protection

Everyday, everyday everyday, everyday
The constant need for prayer and faith

And we pray, and we pray, and we pray, and we pray, and still we lay,
Despite praying for salvation, death is inevitable and a reality

Now follow me roll stroll whether it's hell or it's heaven
A commitment to follow one's own path, despite the destination

Let's come take a visit of the people that's long gone they rest
A reflection on those who have passed away

Wally, Eazy, Terry, Boo
Naming and remembering friends who have passed away

And still keepin' up wit they family
Remaining close with the families of the deceased

Exactly how many days we got lastin' while you laughin' we passin'
Acknowledging the limited time one has on earth

Passin' away
Death is a reality

God rest our souls cause I know I might meet you up at the crossroads
Belief in an afterlife where one can be reunited with loved ones who have passed away

Why'all know ya forever got love from Bone Thugs baby
Expressing love and appreciation for one's fans

Lil E-Z long gone,
Remembering a friend named Lil E-Z who has passed away

Really wish he could come home
Expressing a desire for the deceased to come back to life

But when it's time to die gotta go bye bye
Accepting death as an inevitability

All 'lil thug could do was cry, cry
The pain and sadness of losing a loved one

Why'd they kill my dog?
Questioning the reasons for the death of a loved one

Damn man I miss my Uncle Charles why'all
Grieving the loss of a family member

He shouldn't be gone
Expressing the unfairness of death

In front of his home
Referencing the location of Uncle Charles' death

What they did to Boo was wrong oh (wrong, wrong)
Expressing anger and grief towards the death of another loved one

Was so wrong gotta hold on, gotta stay strong,
Despite the pain and sadness, one must remain strong and move forward

When the day come better believe Bone got a shoulder you can lean on
Being there for others in times of need

See you at the crossroads, crossroads, crossroads (so you won't be lonely)
Belief in meeting loved ones who have passed away at the crossroads in the afterlife

And I'm gonna miss everybody and I'm gonna miss everybody
Grieving the loss of loved ones

Livin' in a hateful world (sending me straight to heaven) That's how we roll
Acknowledgement of the difficulties of the world and the belief in an afterlife as a way of escape

And I ask the good lord why, he sigh, he told me we live to die
Questioning the reasons for death but ultimately, accepting its inevitability

What's up wit that murder why'all?
Expressing confusion and anger towards acts of violence

See my little cousin was hung
Reflecting on the death of a young family member by hanging

Somebody really wrong anybody want to touch that star?
Questioning the motivation behind such a heinous act

And Ms. Sleazy set up easy to fall
Accusing a woman of contributing to Eazy-E's downfall

You know while we sinnin' he intendin' on ending it when it ends
Belief in a higher power who makes judgments on one's actions

He comin' again and again and again
A reminder of the cyclical nature of life and death

Now tell me what ya gonna do
Questioning what one will do when faced with judgment

Can somebody anybody tell me why hey
Expressing confusion and seeking answers

Can somebody anybody tell me why
Repeating the previous line for emphasis

He died, we died
Reflecting on the inevitability of death

I don't want to die (so wrong oh, so wrong oh, wrong)
Expressing the desire to not face death
