Can we please have a moment of silence
Silence silence
Thats for my n***as doinyears in
Confinement
And for my soldiers who passed over
No longer living
That couldnt run whenever the reaper
Came to get em
Can we please pour out some liquor
Some liquor some liquor
Symobolizinlets take in time
To consider that
Though our thugs aint here
The love is here
And we gonrep til slugs kill us here
This for my dawgs stuck
In the struggle tryinto gain
Smokintrauma sniffin
Ra while sellinc***** e
Trapped in the game not knowin
How to stop and get by
To live it alive so instead they
Live it to die
Can we please have a moment of peace
Moment of peace moment
For every G that fell for his
Flag in the streets
Bloodinand thuggin
Folkinand lokin
Crypinand creepin
Latin and kingin
Or just for poor righteous teachin
As days comes and nights falls
For the rest of our life well miss yall
And even though life must go on
Well still mourn
While wishinyall were home
Yall were home
As days comes and nights falls
For the rest of our life well miss yall
And even though life must go on
Well still mourn
While wishinyall were home
Yall were home
Yeah and can we have another
Moment of silence silence silence
For brothers who died from black-on-black
Violence
From here to the Dark Continent
Were rebels sell diamonds
To clients allover the world
Got little Black girls dyin
And can we please pour some more liquors
More liquors more liquors
For Will Bokeem Bar Pappy my n***as
Heres another Warrior
Song from Nasty and Quan
Its to him I pass the baton
To carry this on
Streets Disciple salute
To those whos gone with bullets
And I promise through rhymin
Quan gonrep his life to the fullest
And can we please have a moment of truth
Moment of truth
Moment of truth
For soldiers and troops away
With helmets and boots
And families back home who pray
They make it home safe
Hopinthat they dont get hit
With a stray or missiles
This is just a moment
To let you all know that we miss you
Mommy Im still here wishin
I was there with you
Lets take em home
As days comes and nights falls
For the rest of our lifes well miss yall
And even though life must go on
Well still mourn
While wishinyall were home
Yall were home
As days comes and nights falls
For the rest of our lifes well miss yall
And even though life must go on
Well still mourn
While wishinyall were home
Yall were home
And can we please have a moment to mourn
Moment to mourn
For Pac Biggie and Pun
Cause through us they live on
Jam Master Jay Freaky Ty and Aliyah
Big L and Left Eye when we
Die we wish to see ya
Can we please have a moment for children
Moment for children
Who got raped or murdered
Or trapped in the system
Who never knew their father
Never learned to dream
But was guided by drug dealers
Killers and crack fiends
For single mothers thats forced
To play mom and dad
Bustinher a*s to give her
Kids s**t she never had
For my n***as in the pen hopin
Rhymesll get em signed
So when released they can say
Bye to a life of crime
For every mother that held a
Son in the street bleedin
Cryina song of sorrow to dark
And deep for speakin
Just a moment outside the day
To day struggle
To let the ones we really care
About know that we love em
As days comes and nights falls
For the rest of our life well miss yall
And even though life must go on
Well still mourn
While wishinyall were home
Yall were home
As days comes and nights falls
For the rest of our life well miss yall
And even though life must go on
Well still mourn
While wishinyall were home
Yall were home
