Mothers Reminisce
II Tru Lyrics

We got these mothers reminiscin' about their the children
Mothers are remembering their children who have passed away

We got to get in past the pain to start the healin'
To heal, we must move past the pain of losing our loved ones

To indebted with the pain
Burdened with overwhelming pain

And misery dig impressions on all my shoulders
The pain has left a lasting mark on me

Mothers reminiscin' days of watchin' they child, the first grow older
Mothers are remembering happy moments of their children growing up

But a common tragedy - that unexpected moment
Sadly, unexpected tragedies are common

That takes one out the game
Death takes someone away from life

To me, death rings to takes you under
Death can be overwhelming and suffocating

Face to face with that destiny, no time for compromisin'
When faced with death, there's no room for negotiation

No matter who's in the wrong
Blame doesn't matter when someone dies

'Cause life's the bitch that got us dyin'
Death is an unfortunate consequence of life

Lost souls eternally comin' over trues I knew
Lost loved ones continue to weigh heavily on me

June 3rd, Dawn passed and her unborn baby
Dawn and her unborn child passed away on June 3rd

Too - head on car collision on ?
Dawn and her unborn child were killed in a car crash

Around the bend from the place she lived
The accident occurred near where Dawn lived

A catastrophe - may she rest in peace at this dead end
The accident was tragic and Dawn deserves to rest in peace

A host of friends, I'm included
I was one of Dawn's many friends

Knew her 'cause she was my partner's sista
I knew Dawn because she was my friend's sister

Can't shake it - is it reality or somethin' my dreams done (?)
I can't believe that Dawn is gone, and I'm struggling to accept it

Baby Dawnesha took like it a visit to her Granny's home
Dawn's daughter Dawnesha doesn't remember her mother and thinks she's visiting her grandmother

Too young to remember her mother's face
Dawnesha was too young to remember what her mother looked like

Gotta tackle this world alone
Dawnesha must navigate life without her mother

Dang gone, reach the point of no return
Death is the point of no return

Lord can You help me understand
I'm struggling to understand why Dawn had to die

Your reasons for takin' away from our families?
Why must you take our loved ones away from us?

Morn the passin' of a true that I once knew, mothers reminisce
I mourn the loss of someone I knew, and mothers remember their children who have passed away

Hit home 'bout them lost souls that fell prey to this death kiss
The reality of lost loved ones is difficult to face

One day, you're here; the next, you're gone
Life is unpredictable and can end suddenly

And that's for real
It's a harsh reality

Said these ghetto blues was over
I thought the struggles of living in the ghetto were over

But they done got a sista faded still, and in my mind
Unfortunately, I'm still struggling even though I thought I had moved on

I can't believe that they done put my
I can't believe that they buried my loved one

Closest sista underneath six feet deep
My closest sister is buried six feet underground

? we wasn't cool, 'cause I done let some
I regret letting outsiders come between us

Outsiders come between some trues
Outsiders interfered with our friendship

And now I regret lettin' haters in between some thangs
I'm sorry I let negative people come between us

That I can buy, deeper than to bleed
My pain goes beyond anything money can fix

Ain't this a trip?
Isn't it ironic?

My sister's dead
My sister has passed away

These ghetto blues done got a sister faded once again
The struggles of living in the ghetto have taken a toll on me once more

In bed, my head hurtin', worried, my nigga Dawn
I'm lying in bed with a headache, worried about Dawn

Layin' it down and my sister in the dirt buried
Dawn is buried in the ground

And now I'm trippin', 'cause I can't feel this vibe
I'm in disbelief and struggling to come to terms with everything

We just got finished toastin', now my career on the line
I was just celebrating, but now my life is in shambles

Blind on what the next man says
I'm not letting anyone else influence my thoughts and emotions

I know can't be - I just called the house
I can't believe it's true, so I just called home to check

My sista can't be dead - mothers reminisce
I can't accept that my sister is gone, and mothers remember their own lost children

We would like to dedicate this song to Dawn
This song is dedicated to the memory of Dawn

Rest in peace
May she rest in peace

We'll miss you
We'll miss Dawn

We like to send our condolences to her beloved parents
We're sending our condolences to Dawn's parents

Vivian Hall and Donald Hall; her brother Derk Hall;
Dawn's mother, father, and brother are mourning her loss as well

and her beloved daughter, Dawnesha Hall;
Dawn's daughter, Dawnesha, is without her mother

and to all the mothers that have lost a beloved one
Our thoughts are also with all the mothers who have lost a child
