How Long Will They Mourn Me?

All my homies drinkin' liquor, tears in everybody's eyez

Niggaz cry to mourn a homie's homicide

But I can't cry instead I'm just a shoulda

Damn, why'd they take another soldier?



I load my clip before my eyez blurry

Don't worry I'll get them suckas back

Before your buried, shit, retaliate and pull a 187

The real niggaz get to go to heaven



How long will they mourn me? Bury me a motherfucking G

Bitch, don't wanna die then don't fuck wit me

It's kinda hard to be optimistic

When your homie's lying dead on the pavement twisted



Ya'll don't hear me though, I'm trying hard to make ammends

When I'm losing all my mothafucking friends

Damn, they shoulda shot me when I was born

Now I'm trapped in the mothafucking storm



How long will they mourn me?

(I wish it woulda been another)

How long will they mourn me?

(How long will they mourn my brotha)



How long will they mourn me?

(I wish it woulda been another)

How long will they mourn me?

(How long will they mourn my brotha)



Every mothafucking day, homie

You stayed down when the other niggaz didn't know me

From my heart to the trigga, you my fuckin' nigga

And things won't be the same without ya, nigga



I remember kicking back you wanted a Lac

And going half on a mothafuckin' hundred sack

Smokin' blunt after blunt with steady drinkin'

Hung around so much, you knew what I was thinkin'



Tell me Lord why you take big Kato?

So confused not knowing which way to go

I'm going crazy runnin' outta fuckin' time

I can't take it, I'm losing my fucking mind



So day after day, ride after ride

We'll hook up on the other side

Watch over your family and your newborn

Till we meet again, homie, how long will they mourn me?



How long will they mourn me?

(I wish it woulda been another)

How long will they mourn me?

(How long will they mourn my brotha)



Damn, a nigga tired of feeling sad

I'm tired of putting in work

I'm tired of crying while watching my homies leave the earth

I know soon one day I'll be in the dirt



And my people's be mourning

When thay get a call from the coroner

All niggaz can say is that's fucked up

And get tossed up, reminiscing how we grew up



Rest and love to my nigga Kato

See you in the crossroads real soon

For now let me pour out some brew

I'll be always thinkin of ya homie

Rest in peace, how long will they mourn me?



Ya know life's a fuckin' trip and everybody gotta go

But why the fuck it have to be my nigga Kato

Another nigga fell victim to the chrome

It's enough to make ya crazy, it's fuckin' with my dome



Ya only live once on this earth

A nigga had it bad since the day of mothafuckin' birth

But niggas say they down and they always be my homie

But when a nigga gone, how long will they mourn me?



How long will they mourn me?

(I wish it woulda been another)

How long will they mourn me?

(How long will they mourn my brotha)
