Dead Homiez - Ice Cube (艾斯·库伯)[00:00:00]
Up early in the morning dressed in black[00:00:00]
Don't ask why 'Cause I'm down in a suit and tie[00:00:03]
They killed a homie that I went to school with[00:00:07]
I tell ya life ain't sh*t to fool with[00:00:10]
I still hear the screams of his mother[00:00:13]
While my ni**a laid dead in the gutter[00:00:15]
And it's getting to my temple[00:00:18]
Why is that the only time black folks get to ride in a limo [00:00:20]
It makes me so mad I want to get my sawed-in[00:00:25]
And have some bodies hauled in[00:00:28]
But no I pay my respects and I'm through[00:00:30]
Hug my crew and maybe shed a tear or two[00:00:32]
And I wanna get blitz[00:00:36]
Grab my 40 ounce and then I reminisce[00:00:38]
About a brother who had to be the one and only[00:00:41]
So I dedicate this to my dead homiez [00:00:44]
Another homie got murdered on a[00:00:58]
Shakedown three gun shots [00:01:00]
And his mother is at the funeral [00:01:01]
Havin' a nervous breakdown[00:01:03]
Two shots hit him in the face[00:01:04]
When they blasted two gun shots [00:01:06]
A framed picture and a closed casket[00:01:07]
A single file line about 50 cars long[00:01:10]
All drivin' slow with they lights on[00:01:13]
He got a lot of flowers and a big wreath[00:01:15]
What good is that when you're six feet deep [00:01:18]
I look at that sh*t and gotta think to myself[00:01:21]
And thank God for my health[00:01:25]
'Cause nobody really ever know[00:01:26]
When it's gonna be they family on the front row[00:01:29]
So I take everything slow go with the flow[00:01:32]
And shut my motherf**kin'[00:01:36]
Mouth if I don't know[00:01:37]
'Cause that's what Pops told me[00:01:39]
But I wish he could have said it to my dead homiez[00:01:41]
I remember we painted our names on the wall for fun[00:01:55]
Now it's "Rest in Peace" after every one[00:01:58]
Except me but I ain't the one to front[00:02:01]
Seems like I'm viewin' a body after every month[00:02:04]
Plus I knew him when he was yea big[00:02:07]
Pour beer on the curb before I take a swig[00:02:09]
But somethin' ain't right[00:02:13]
When it's a tragedy that's the[00:02:15]
Only time that the family's tight[00:02:16]
Lovin' each other in a caring mood[00:02:19]
There's lots of people and lots of food[00:02:21]
They say "Be Strong" and you're tryin'[00:02:24]
But how strong can you be[00:02:27]
When you see your Pops cryin' [00:02:28]
So that's why Ice Cube's dressed up[00:02:29]
Because the city is so f**kin' messed up[00:02:31]
And everybody is so phony[00:02:35]
Take a little time to think about your dead homiez[00:02:37]
