Fallen Soldiers
Cormega feat. Mobb Deep Lyrics

What we made up the same night
We made up and reconciled the same night we argued.

And through the years remained tight, the same love
Despite our arguments, we remained close friends with the same bond of love.

Now that you gone, I'm here to reppin your name right
Since Yammy is gone, I'll make sure to honor and represent him well.

Did you ever lose a nigga you love?
Have you ever lost someone you loved deeply?

Then ask yourself is there a heaven for thugs?
If you've lost someone who lived a rough life, you might wonder if they could still go to heaven.

God forgive me for fillin niggas with slugs
I pray to God for forgiveness for killing people in the past.

And is it a crime when we was dealin these drugs?
I wonder if I did something wrong by dealing drugs in the past.

And to my cousin Ben my muthafuckin man, I find it hard to understand
My cousin Ben was like a brother to me, and it's tough to come to terms with his death.

That you gone, you physical form is dormant
I know that Ben is gone, but his body is at rest now.

I'm lost like the Bulls without Jordan
I feel lost and directionless without Ben in my life, like the Chicago Bulls without Michael Jordan.

Tell my man J.B. from I said peace
Send my regards to my friend J.B. from wherever he is.

Son, I live a thug life, I clutch mics
I live a rough and dangerous lifestyle, but I also hold onto my music and career tightly.

With the same intensity that I used to clutch right
I hold onto my microphone with the same passion and intensity that I used to hold onto my gun.

G-Fresh was at your funeral, son I felt it
Our friend G-Fresh attended Ben's funeral, and it was a difficult experience for everyone.

And if I start cryin when I rhyme I can't help it
If I get emotional and cry while rapping about Ben, it's because I can't control my emotions.

Analyse, never think I forgot you, son you my heart
Ben, don't think that I've forgotten about you - you'll always be in my heart.

And even death can't keep the two of us apart
Even though Ben has passed away, nothing can truly separate us.

From day one, watchin cartoons and shootin playguns
From the very beginning, Ben and I were close friends who played together.

Who ever thought we see this day come
We never thought that we would see the day where one of us would be gone forever.

Tell my moms I miss her, give her a kiss and tell her
Send my love to my mother and tell her I miss her.

That her younger child done her proud
Tell her that despite the struggles and hardships, I've made her proud.

I know she heard about me runnin wild
I'm aware that my mother has heard about some of the wild things I've done.

Ya'll gone now, but livin in my memory
Even though Ben, Yammy, and others are no longer with us, they're still very much alive in my memory.

You fallen soldiers, sleepin in serenity
You guys are fallen soldiers who are now resting peacefully.

Killa Black, whattup my nigga?
What's up, Killa Black? It's been a while since we talked.

I know you chillin with my nigga Ill Will inside a ghetto heaven building
I know that Killa Black is now in heaven with our other friend, Ill Will.

With a Mac-11, dealin your jeans, screamin Infamous Queens
I can imagine Killa Black in heaven with his favorite gun, selling drugs, and representing Queens.

Forty-First Side kid, you know me
Killa Black would know exactly who I am, representing Queens' 41st side.

I know the O-Z's are whiter there, pussy much tighter there
I imagine that their drugs are purer and the women are more attractive up in heaven.

Navigator ?rents been a shine and live brighter yeah?
I bet the cars up there are nicer and more luxurious than down here on earth.

The same old thing, gun, game and cocaine
Despite being in heaven, Killa Black is probably still up to the same old things - guns, drugs, and living the game.

Your brother Havoc got a platinum gold chain (shinin, kid)
I know that Havoc, Killa Black's brother, is doing well and living in luxury with his gold and platinum chain.

Son, it's all good in the hood, I'm in a Lex with the wood-grain
Everything is good back in the neighborhood, and I'm cruising around in a Lexus with nice interior.

??? is never misunderstood
I'm not sure what word is missing here, but I'm saying that Killa Black was always easy to understand and get along with.

Dearly departed
Killa Black, like many others in this song, has passed away and is now gone.

Hear me acknowledge real niggas who passed
I want to acknowledge and pay tribute to all the real guys who have died.

Wheather holdin heater, in it for cash
Whether they died while carrying a gun or grinding for money, I still respect and honor their lives.

Some of ya'll ???, some are pure like Columbian raw
I'm not sure what word is missing here, but I'm saying that some guys were bad, while others were like high-quality cocaine.

Knockin on heaven's door
They're now in heaven, where they can knock on its doors and be received by God.

The only thing my niggas ran from alive is law
The only thing that my guys were afraid of while they were alive was getting caught by the law.

I reminisce your memories, for you this Hennessy I pour
I miss you guys and remember our times together, so I'm pouring some Hennessy for you.
