Dedicate
Slim Thug Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My nigga Sleep Dog, you showed a young nigga how to ball
Never settled for small, my dog had it all
I can't believe you gone, I'm trying to stay strong
Damn what the fuck went on, when you went wrong
I remember the call on my phone, saying my nigga was gone
I never seen Corn and Sha, look so alone
This was the worst day, you died on Cogo birthday
It hurt me, to see that look on they face
We all gathered on the block, everybody in shock
That day, it felt like the world came to a stop
We lost a major dude, one of our click team captains
I got numb, when I heard how it happened damn
Fake niggaz and hoes showing up, like they feel how we feel
Still trying to be down, but shit we know who all real
We don't want no more friends, our family complete
We just got one sleeping six feet deep, my nigga

It's fucked up when a dog gotta die, when he trying to get his bone
I dedicate this to my niggaz gone
You know the type that just try to keep a steak on the table, while they home
I dedicate this to my niggaz gone
This for my niggaz on the left and right of Jesus, while he sitting on his throne
I dedicate this to my niggaz gone
And to them niggaz that shot ya when we see you, best believe that it's on
I dedicate this to my niggaz gone

My nigga use to ride with me (yep), get high with me (yep)
And fly with me (yep), slice them pies with me (yep)
Spray them guys for me (yep), and die for me (yep)
But (damn fool), why this way

I'm still not over my nigga Stessa, Stank you still missed
My life was getting a lot better, until I ran into this
A tragedy a gangsta, my nigga had to be
Lil' chief don't know what's going on, and shit that's sad to see
Cortiana a star, we gon watch over her man
Courtney, she kinda know but she don't really understand
What's going on, I-Pop and Heaven at home
My nigga kept his family first, so I know where he gone
He left Corn with a lot to look after, he can take it
Not from your mother but we your brothers, so I know you gon make it
You got Sha you got Chad, you got Troy you got me
Ray, Ed, Mo, Shannon and Kenny G
We your family nigga, so wipe the tears from your eyes
Stay focused get your paper, and stay on the rise
You a hustler, and a jacker can't take that
Your brother Sleep gone, cause haters hate my nigga

My nigga use to ride with me (yep), get high with me (yep)
And fly with me (yep), slice them pies with me (yep)
Spray them guys for me (yep), and die for me (yep)
But (damn fool), why this way

We had to wait crying, our dog a victim of a hate crime
These haters hate, cause he shined at all times
Seeing the way Sleep Dog ball, made a nigga chase paper
Remember the day you gave me your chain, at my show at The Maker
Get your shine on youngster, we love to see that
When I put candy on the Excursion, he loved to see that
We showed up, Sleep part of the reason I blowed up
When them haters saw how hard we ball, they fold up
He lived life to the fullest, everything to the extreme
Done so much, I think my nigga ran out of dreams
From cars clothes to hoes, competition is none
We had fun, like Nelly say we number one
I know Sha gon hold your name, and keep the click on game




Now I don't like to ride solo, I stay with a gang
Went from a sawed off gauge, to three AK's believe that

This song is timeless πŸ™

Paul Royal

Thank you for dedicating this song to me. I had the opportunity to see you in Vegas at the MGM Hotel. I apologize for making you wait like that for a photo with you, I thought about you when I was on my way up to my hotel room with Paul Washington Royal. I didn't believe you would still be waiting for me, truthfully I felt wrong because it seemed as if I was taking to long to get back to lobby level where I spoke to you. When I saw you still waiting so humble I was seriously hurt for real because I didn't like that I could have been hurting your pride. You were up and coming you weren't the most popular Rap artist at the time but I did recognize you from seeing you as a real rap artist. Now when I think of that day I would not have mind if you weren't there when I got back, I would not have disrespected your name at all. I would have said he a Street Rap Artist he doesn't have the time to wait that long he might have had to leave, to me that was very understandable I my eyes then. But because you were aware I have so much more respect for your humbleness. Tears are coming out my eyes right now for real. Shout out to Winky Wright Zab Judah Bishop Magic Juan Don Don King Cuda Gooding Jr. Yup I remember you promised in the Movie Boys In The Hood that you was going to see me in the future, you kept your words. Big Shout Out to Metta World Peace which was on a different trip to Vagus and I noticed you had no respect for the individuals I was there with you almost said something about them I saw your attitude adjust I know now you were aware of them. I'm glad you didn't physically do anything to mess up your career and at that time your name was Ron Artest and your reputation at that time was a serious Professional Basketball Player who would put hands on other player very aggressively. I just looked your name up and you changed your name in 2020 according to the internet information to Metta Sandiford-Artest. Thank you for your hospitality.
