Master P]

Damn. I never thought I'd be wearin a suit and tie so many times a year, but

like Bone said, to all my homies ain't here, see ya in the crossroads, fool



Imagine this, me dressed in all black

At a funeral strapped with a chrome gat

Who died P, I guess it was my homie, black

Somebody rolled up and shot him in the back

It was sad, my homie took a damn fall

Sort of like the TLC video, ";Waterfalls";

But this was the real deal, this ain't no movie

Niggaz drove up and blasted my homie with a oozie

Now me and Silkk got to ride

After the funeral cause it's sad on my side

Cause in the ghetto, it's one big black moon

I mean people dyin everyday, we all are doomed

My mama look at me and say, ";Boy, watch yoself!";

But I can't trip, mama, cause I live for myself

And if I die on the streets, then it's my time to go

But if I live to see another day, another funeral

It's sad, I look into they eyes

Damn, everybody's got to die

But one day, I guess we gon to wake up

When they puttin me in that black truck

It could be you, it could be her

But in the end everybody gets did up

Cause in the ghetto everybody live like Jesse James

I still question God for callin my homie name



Chorus I (2X): Why my homie had to die?

Now somebody mama gonna cry

Now when my grandfather died, I was like 5, it never really touched me much

But seein my brother layin dead on floor really kinda fucked me up

I never thought he could be here then he could be gone

I never thought the day he left the house he wouldn't be comin back home

I wonder when it's yo time to go, who gon protect you

See someone died in my family, didn't even much affect you

I wonder why my ho
