Silkk The Shocker Lyrics

(Silkk)
?? how I miss my homies so
I don't expect y'all to understand this
Cause y'all ain't never lost nobody
But imagine the closest person to you
See everybody feel it
But some of us
Feel it more than the rest
Just think about it
It only add
More to the stress
I try to live my life day by day
And ignore the rest
It's so FUCKED UP
I can feel life
More than I feel death
Split second
And picture
The family's being torn
I gotta tell my little nephew
His dad wasn't around
To see him being born
When we get older
Playing with our kids
He just sittin' all alone
You know what his last birthday wish was
He wishes daddy come home
And while I'm at the funeral
Contemplating sittin' in strap
He looked up to me
Gave me a hug and asked me
"Silkk, where my daddy at?"
Question I couldn't answer
Tell him a vacation
And somehow I wish
If I tell him this enough
Maybe one day
He just might forget

(Chorus)
I guess I'll be seeing you
At the end of the road (end of the road, I'll see y'all there)
You know it ain't easy
Lettin' my homie go (end of the road, I'll see y'all there
(repeat)

(Silkk)
Now I learn ??
I miss my homies so
Even though
My homies gone
Try to be strong on my dawgs
Used to hit me
But I'm home alone
All the memories I got of you
Shining like the sun
I used to invite you to my house
We used to fight
Who gone sleep in the top bunk
We used to
Throw rocks
To the cops then we'd run
We was so tight
We got caught
Both of us
They got just one
I remember dawg
We just like
Kick back and laughed
We grew up a little bit
Life made us choose a
Different path
You chose to get a job
And I sold and dealed
You choose to go to school
And i chose the streets
I was the one that
Always lived fast
You used to want to live slowly
As I look in the casket
I though for sure
It was supposed to be me
Damn I lost my dawg
It's cold but its fair
And I contemplate to myself
Would it have been different
If I would've been there
I guess we'll never never
Never know
But I know one thing
Why's it always the good ones that got to go

(chorus2x)

(Silkk)
It's never easy
To let your loved ones go
Tomorrow now promise me
Tell me something that your loved ones know
A straight bullet in the neighborhood
Got a little girl
Holdin' her breath
In my arms I closed her eyes
She died while I was
Holdin' her chest
I couldn't change
Even though the game was file
Through all the pain
Maintain
Still find ways to smile
And grandma(grandmama got sick)
And they fixed her to bed rest
The family was fightin' over who? left the money to
Picture this you won't even dead yet
And I'm sick of this east and west coast crap
This east and west coast trap
Lost two of the biggest mc's
To east and west coast rap
Rest in peace Biggie
Rest in peace Pac




And all them other soldiers
Make us see it??

I miss my friends so much


Even though
Despite the fact that


My homies gone
My friends have passed away


Try to be strong on my dawgs
I try to be strong for my friends


Used to hit me
We used to hang out often


But I'm home alone
But now, I'm alone


All the memories I got of you
I have so many good memories of you


Shining like the sun
Memories that are bright and happy


I used to invite you to my house
I used to invite you to my home


We used to fight
We used to fight with each other playfully


Who gone sleep in the top bunk
We used to fight over who would get the top bunk bed


We used to
We used to do this all the time


Throw rocks
We used to throw rocks


To the cops then we'd run
At the police, then we would run away


We was so tight
We were so close


We got caught
We got caught doing something illegal


Both of us
Both of us together


They got just one
But only one of us was punished


I remember dawg
I remember, my friend


We just like
We were alike


Kick back and laughed
We would relax and laugh together


We grew up a little bit
We both matured a little


Life made us choose a
But life made us make different choices


Different path
We chose different courses in life


You chose to get a job
You chose to work a job


And I sold and dealed
And I chose a life of selling drugs


You choose to go to school
You chose to pursue your education


And i chose the streets
And I chose to take part in street life


I was the one that
I was the one who


Always lived fast
Always lived recklessly


You used to want to live slowly
You wanted to live a more calm life


As I look in the casket
As I look at your body in the casket


I though for sure
I thought, for certain


It was supposed to be me
It should have been me who died


Damn I lost my dawg
I lost my friend


It's cold but its fair
It's harsh, but it's the reality


And I contemplate to myself
And I think to myself


Would it have been different
Would things have been different


If I would've been there
If I had been there with you?


I guess we'll never never
I suppose we will never


Never know
Know for sure


But I know one thing
But I know something for certain


Why's it always the good ones that got to go
Why is it always the good people who have to die?


It's never easy
It's never an easy process


To let your loved ones go
To say goodbye to someone you love


Tomorrow now promise me
Promise me


Tell me something that your loved ones know
Tell your loved ones something that they should know


A straight bullet in the neighborhood
A stray bullet in the neighborhood


Got a little girl
Hit and killed a young girl


Holdin' her breath
As she held her breath


In my arms I closed her eyes
I held her in my arms and closed her eyes


She died while I was
She died


Holdin' her chest
While I was holding her close to me


I couldn't change
I couldn't do anything to change what happened


Even though the game was file
Even though life was unfair


Through all the pain
Despite all the pain that I feel


Maintain
I try to keep going


Still find ways to smile
Still find reasons to smile


And grandma(grandmama got sick)
And my grandmother became sick


And they fixed her to bed rest
And she was confined to bed rest


The family was fightin' over who? left the money to
My family was arguing over who would inherit her money


Picture this you won't even dead yet
And she was still alive at the time of the argument


And I'm sick of this east and west coast crap
I'm tired of the rivalry between the East and West coast in the music industry


This east and west coast trap
This trap that people are falling into of choosing a side in the rivalry


Lost two of the biggest mc's
We lost two of the biggest rappers


To east and west coast rap
To the rivalry between the East and West coast


Rest in peace Biggie
Rest in peace, Biggie Smalls


Rest in peace Pac
Rest in peace, Tupac Shakur


And all them other soldiers
And all the other people who have passed away


Make us see it??
Help us see the reality of life and death
