Track No: 08

How long will they mourn me?
Yeah, this for my **** Kato
It's still on ****, believe that
Thug life, thugs for life
How long will they mourn me?
2Pac in this mutha fucka
All my homies drinkin' liquor
Tears in everybody's eyes
**** cry to mourn a homie's homicide
But I can't cry, instead I'm just a shoulder
Damn! Why they take another soldier?
I load my clip before my eyes blurry
Don't worry, I'll get them suckers back before you're buried
Shit, retaliate and pull a 187
Do real **** get to go to Heaven?
How long will they mourn me?
Bury me a mutha fuckin' G
Bitch, don't wanna die?
Then don't fuck with me
It's kinda hard to be optimistic
When your homie's lyin' dead on the pavement, twisted
Y'all don't hear me tho
I'm tryin' hard to make amends
But I'm losin' all my mutha fuckin' friends
Damn!
They shoulda shot me when I was born
Now I'm trapped in the muthafuckin' storm
How long will they mourn me?
(I wish it coulda been another)
How long will they mourn me?
(How long will they mourn my brother?)
How long will they mourn me?
(I wish it coulda been another)
How long will they mourn me?
(How long will they mourn my brother)
How long will they mourn me?
Every muthafuckin' day, homie
You stayed down when the other **** didn't know me
From my heart to the trigger, you my fuckin' ****
And things won't be the same without you, ****
I remember kickin' back you wanted a 'Lac
And goin' half on a muthafuckin' hundred sack
Smokin' blunt after blunt and steady drinkin'
Hung around so much you knew what I was thinkin'
Tell me Lord, why you take Big Kato?
So confused, not knowin' which way to go
I'm goin' crazy and runnin' out of fuckin' time
I can't take it, I'm losing my fuckin 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?
(I wish it woulda been another)
How long will they mourn me?
(How long will they mourn my brother?)
How long will they mourn me?
(I wish it woulda been another)
How long will they mourn me?
(How long will they mourn my brother)
Damn! A **** tired of feelin' sad, I'm tired of puttin' up work
I'm tired of cryin', watchin' my homies leave the earth
I know soon, one day, I'll be in the dirt
And my people's will be mournin'
When they get a call from the coroner
All **** can say is that's fucked up
And get tossed up, reminiscin' how we grew up (My ****)
Rest and love to my **** 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 **** Kato
Another **** fell victim to the chrome
It's enough to make you crazy
It's fuckin' wit' my dome
You only live once on this Earth a **** had it bad
Since the day of my muthafuckin' birth
But **** say they down
And they always be my homie
But when a **** gone
How long will you mourn me? Yeah!
(I wish it woulda been another)
Mack 10 in this muthafucker, yeah
How long will you mourn me?
Thug Life, boy (How long will they mourn my brother?)
Nate, blowin that shit, Nate Dogg, do that shit, ****, yeah
How long will ya mourn me?
This for my **** Kato and all his kids
How long will ya mourn me?
(I wish it woulda been another)
