I'll Be Around
Rahsun Lyrics

To all my peeps in the penitentiary
Addressing his friends who are locked up in prison

Free eventually, spiritually and mentally
Assuring them that they will eventually be free and urging them to focus on inner growth

We had to rep essentially
They had to represent their crew with loyalty and honor

While you was on dissin ground
While others were talking behind their backs and spreading rumors

We was holdin' fort down
They were defending their position and staying loyal to their crew

Shit is so real I'm even back and forth to court now
Their life is so real that they even have to go to court frequently

We all struggle in the jungle for a bundle
They are all hustling and struggling to make money in a hostile environment

Awaitin' the day, 'til the whole earth crumble
Hoping for a time of reckoning or a new beginning when everything will change for the better

It's like a royal rumble in the streets now
The streets are full of chaos and violence

When cats blow four pounds see trial nobody be around
When someone gets caught doing something illegal, nobody is around to support them

Just the other day my brother Kwan got bagged
His friend, Kwan, recently got arrested

Three half ounces, three nickel bags in his ass
Kwan was caught with drugs on him

No doubt Son, shit is on smash, we want cash
Things are messed up, and they need money to survive

To lamp like my cousin Thrash, with mad G's in his stash
They want to live the high life like their cousin, Thrash, who has a lot of money

So hold your head Dunn, and have no fear
Don't worry and stay strong, even though things are tough

'Cause when the drama appear, you know the fams'll be there
When things get rough, their crew will be there to support them

You know the fams'll be there
Their crew will always be there for them

Whenever you call, I'll be a, I'll be a
Assuring someone that he will be there for them if they need him

Whatever you want, I'll be a, I'll be a
Promising to help someone in any way he can

Whatever you need, I'll be a, I'll be a
Pledging to be there for someone whenever they need him

I'll be arowwww-owwwwwwww-owwwwwwwnd
Repeating his promise to always be there for his loved ones

My Twinz already know, I'm always amped and ready to roll
His friends, the Twinz, already know he is always ready for action

Lendin' me dough for Pampers when it was twenty below
He borrowed money from the Twinz to buy diapers when it was really cold outside

That's how I know who to trust
His friends who helped him in times of need are the ones he trusts

That's how I know for who to bust
He is willing to fight and defend his true friends

To shoot as many a clan concerned from Clue to Clutch
He is ready to protect his people from any enemies, no matter who they are

Who the fuck said that color matter? Your own brother
Questioning why people care about skin color and pointing out that even your own blood can betray you

Blacker than black'll leave you in the gutter splattered
Even those who look like you can harm you and leave you in a bad situation

It's automatic now with all the static
There is always tension and conflict present in their lives now

Only a coward or a faggot hides his flowers in the attic
True bravery lies in facing challenges and not hiding from them

I keep em close, to shine to blossom, try to floss em
He keeps his true friends close to him and wants to show them off and help them succeed

Cried every time I lost one, fake niggaz come a dime a dozen
He feels emotional loss whenever he loses a true friend, and recognizes that false friends are plentiful

That's why I'm buggin, shorties is luggin heavy metal
He is worried because young people are carrying and using guns

Just call me a rebel cause I'ma keep reppin for every ghetto
He is willing to go against the norm and represent for his people, even if it's not popular

For better or worse, up in the Jetta it hurts
He is willing to endure the struggles and pain for his loved ones, even if it hurts him

I'ma keep reppin my niggaz til I'm dead in the earth
He will always represent his crew and stay loyal to them until he dies

I'm settin the first, if niggaz want it we can three pound rock
He is ready to start a fight and use his gun if necessary

Give me a call, you know the Big Pun'll be down
If someone needs him, he will be there for them

All decisions is made, we made it past twelveth grade
They have made important decisions and also graduated from high school

Health, wealth in the shade - whole team is paid
They are healthy, wealthy, and living comfortably

Even all the green beret's keep shit locked
Even the military elite are not as powerful as them

More cheddar than Fort Knox, think not, we tryin to own spots
They have more money than the US Treasury, and they are trying to own property and establish themselves

Yachts, cribs by the water, blessing
They have a lot of nice things and blessings in their lives

My little sons and my future daughter, I oughta
He thinks about his children and wants to provide for them

To everybody that didn't have faith, _I'll Be Missing You_
Dedicated to those who doubted him and will regret not having faith in him

Like Biggie, for tryin to shit on no fair one's committee
Comparing himself to Biggie, who was also an underdog and faced haters and doubters

From sun-up to sundown, the glock up to glock down
He carries his gun with him at all times, and is ready to use it if necessary

Call my name! I'll be around..
He is there for his peers whenever they need him

You know the fams'll be there
His crew will always be there for him and each other

Chorus: x 3
Repeating the chorus, emphasizing his promise to always be there for his loved ones
