R.I.P.
T.H.U.G Lyrics

Nigga took care for my heart When they killed my dog Ruined every last dream that we had to ball Me and this nigga was like brothers Since we was small I needed anything he was the first I'd call He was down the road with me If I got in beef By fucking them hoes with me He was H-O-T Kept it real and representing Via-13 got a little girl I treat like it's for me and a lot of hoes conversation It's B.G and L.T. Never had a friend like him He never had a friend like me Snorted half a grand of dope On the flight together Broke trying to make all night together Now Lil' Ten gon' be a part Of my life forever Wish Lord wouldn't of took you to rest you Look me and my dog broke bread together Hot, fucking hoes in the same bed together
