R.I.P.
Krazy Feat. Master P T.E.C. & Chip Lyrics

I remember when we were kids
Reflecting back to a time of youthful innocence and carefree days

We shed all our hurt and tears (and tears)
Expressing a close bond of friendship and support during difficult times

No matter what the weather, what the weather
Emphasizing the strength of the relationship regardless of external circumstances

We were always together (always together)
Stating the constant and unwavering presence of each other throughout their upbringing

We grew up as time went on
Acknowledging the inevitability of aging and changing circumstances

We became separated (separated)
Describing the eventual physical distance that separated the friends

It was a sad day (it was a sad day)
Expressing the deep emotions encompassing the loss of a friend

When my homie went away (when my homie went away)
Referring to the specific individual who has passed away and the impact of their absence

When Kevin went away (when Kevin went away)
Using Kevin as the name of the deceased individual to mourn and honor their memory

Kevin life ain't tha even tho we gots tah change
Acknowledging the hardships of life and the need to evolve to survive

See momma don't understand how you died in tha game
Highlighting the difficulty of explaining the circumstances of a loved one's death to their family

And grandma get older, Little Kevin he's a soldier
Recognizing the cycle of aging and the next generation taking their place as they mature

We done made it out da ghetto ain't no more run'n for tha rollers
Celebrating the success of overcoming their past struggles and escaping the negative lifestyle

Tattooed your face on my arm so you legacy could live on
Using a personal, permanent tribute to honor the memory of their friend

You said "P be strong" with out you we all alone
Recalling a quote from the deceased to draw strength from their words

I know its been a few years you your birthday we shed tears
Expressing ongoing grief and remembrance, even years after the passing

And I don't wanna question you God
Respecting a higher power and refraining from doubtful inquiry

But why he took you and left us here?
Wondering about the reasons behind a loss and expressing confusion and pain

Look, just thinkin about you my nigga bring tears to my eyes
Facing continued sadness and emotional pain from the memory of their friend

I mean I'm hard and all but even tha realish niggaz cry
Acknowledging the vulnerability of even the toughest individuals when it comes to losing someone close

And when you left, part of me died too
Expressing the depth of the impact of their friend's passing

And who ever knew Kevin like I knew Kevin shhh ya'll would cry too
Sharing the individual nature of their relationship with the deceased and the deep bond that they shared

Just think'n about you, if you were still here
Imagining what life would be like if their friend was still alive

How much different remenisin on one of your pictures
Remembering their friend and reflecting on the good times they shared through pictures and memories

Lookin at the family thinkin we always got one miss'n
Noting the absence of their friend and acknowledging the ongoing impact of their loss

And I can still remember tha last words (and mine ain't even started)
Recalling the final words spoken to them by the deceased and the realization that they have so much life left to live

Look your never forgotton 'cause on your birthday I go and put flowers on your
Promising to always honor and remember their friend by performing an annual ritual of visiting their grave

Grave
Referencing the burial site of the deceased friend

Now as I could remember (remember)
Reflecting back to a previous time in their life

A couple of months before December (December)
Specifying a period of time in relation to a significant month of the year

I still can't take tha pain
Admitting to ongoing difficulties in coping with the loss of their friend

We all are stuck in this ghetto rain
Feeling trapped in their current circumstances and surroundings

I learned my lesson, could your blessings
Acknowledging a lesson learned through difficulty and expressing gratitude for any blessings that come their way

Watch your enemys and watch your friends
Reminding others to be cautious and vigilant in discerning between friends and foes

And if it ain't your blood don't show that man no love
Warning against trusting or investing in those who are not family

'Cause kindness make you weak and cause blindness in tha streets
Recognizing that showing kindness or vulnerability can lead to exploitation or danger in a rough environment

And the vultures commin to get you
Referring to those who seek to take advantage of others' misfortunes or weaknesses

When none of you're real homies is wit ya
Acknowledging that true friends will not abandon one another in tough times

And its sad can't break the cycle
Feeling hopeless and helpless to overcome ongoing struggles and obstacles

And take a drink wit my uncle Michael
Reflecting on a memory with a loved one who has also passed away

And my momma question my silence
Feeling pressure or scrutiny from family members about their grieving process

But I blame this sinceless violence
Attributing the loss of their friend to a senseless and unnecessary act of violence

Don't wanna wake up 'cause when imma asleep
Preferring to remain in a state of unconsciousness to avoid facing reality

You still alive up in my dreams
Experiencing vivid dreams featuring the deceased friend and feeling comforted by the illusion of their continued presence

A few seconds of happy thoughts to keep my mind at eaze
Trying to find brief moments of happiness or positivity to counteract the overwhelming sadness and grief

And then Kevin its like you ghost my body freeze when ever I see him
Feeling a physical reaction of shock or discomfort whenever encountering reminders of their friend

If anybody got yours ways, you know it'd be him
Recognizing the unique qualities and personality of their friend and that they were irreplaceable
