Lookin out my window hypnotized by the rain  In a trance reminicing bout the soldiers slain  Fighting wars in the brain trying to maintain  Hoping mama won't have to feel the pain  Looking at a closed casket or a picture frame  Even shorties that you banged won't forget your name  Still feel strange how times do change  We doing our thing and in our minds you remain    As I uncap a 5th of Henny for my soldiers that's a memory  Thinking 'bout the fun times we had together   Blazin' 'till the sunshine  Drinkin' the cheap wine  I know I never find a ? of the same kind  But at the same time, I'm constantly writin' eulogies  For my big homey locs and my loco g's  Since '73 it seems death followed me to my man ?Tyshan Wells?  Rest in Peace    Chorus   Oh why oh why oh why  It's always the good ones that have to die  Oh why oh why oh why  Bob Marley die, ?Jacob Miller? die  (repeat)    Another day another burial  Got you wondering 'bout the day when he bury you  Tear drops stain the wally's that you rockin'  On the block candles burn guns popin'    I just came from the cemetery where my dog was buried  Drop some buds in the earth to grow in they memory  Thinkin' 'bout the fun times we had as fam  Remembering the beef we got into but never ran  I seen a kid get ate up by his own man one time  Hid behind a car now look and duck and bust a ?  On some Harlem Nights script  But this some real life shit  Heard his scull split when you seen the slug hit  I watched the vultures swarmin'  Prayin' on his garments  They stay robbin' dead men cuz they don't give 'em problems  Heard the good die young be it by God or gun  Paint my mural on the wall sayin' my job was done    I shed tears when I hear news from my peers  That my nigga Shawn Crady was no longer here  Had me mad at my girl ready to take it to the world  Drinkin' liquor 'till I'm damn near 'bout to 'url  Got a jewel from my dog locked up in jail  Told me son is in the essence resting  All is well  While you still here: accomplish your deads  Cuz you never know when it's your time to leave    Repeat chorus several times
