[Intro: Ghostface Killah]
Yeah... yeah, man...
I love you, son – miss you so much, man
Peace... peace, god
One...
Mm-m-mmm... life, man...
What's going on, man?
What's going on today?
One second you're here, next time you're not...
It just hurts, man
I don't understand sometimes
[Verse 1: Ghostface Killah]
I think it happened on a Saturday, I heard the phone ring
Vrring, vrring, vrring, vrring, – "Who this? 'Vine?"
"Yo! Wise got killed last night by the tracks
It was those same Ohioan niggas, teamed up, sent 'em back"
We shoulda drilled a long time ago
We went disacordant, now we owe the Devil–slid through without an intro
"Yo, 'Vine, it can't be! Wise guest-starring me!
'Can It Be' – we both got hit, god's legendary!"
He a General, he survived Adolf
Hard to even picture god ate'n by gray dogs
He stated his word and he solemnly sweared to tell the truth
That his bond was like pure added Pureal
Wise God Allah, a warrior, XY chromosome
Sat heavy on the throne, touched something for ya
Ya'll Steubenville niggas fucked up!
Because bitches is talking, they live at 'em, twisting your alley back
You killed my man
You killed my man and you sent him back
After this day, watch ya hats –
Slugs flying everywhere
You smell havoc in the air
You could never get the god's share, emphatically
Now Cipher –
You've been thriving off the same battery he had
Back in '91 that got you hyper
God been beautiful, God been great
God fed you, you'd die if he survived that take
You killed your king, Rakeem Allah gave him his light
He was your offspring, camouflage gold, day wood greens
One righteous man, fought for his right, God's pupil
Yo, that's my fam, he snatched me out of Big Head van
We taught you how to get gates
From sayin', "Peace, God" – Islamic translates
Allah's tongue, spit the language art
Alex Haley thoughts, identical twin, my A-alike
Gas mate, the head grows, the day's closed, how'd you know?!
[Interlude: Ghostface Killah]
Yeah... thin fast... it's trash
Uh-huh... yeah...
Stoned to death
Thou shall be stoned to death (Muthafucka)
Cast out the heavens (Thou shall not kill)
Eye for an eye (Die slow)
Thou shall not kill (You fool)
It tells you (You betrayed God)
Eye for an eye
[Bridge: The Dramatics & (Ghostface Killah)]
Once the sun comes out (Then it's all good)
And the rain is gone (The beast is gone, beast is gone)
I know I'm gonna see–a better day (That's right)
Right now, I think I'm crying
Because of you I'm cryinh
Don't want you to see me cry
I'm crying (Love you, Wise–love you, Wise–love you, Wise!)
[Chorus: The Dramatics & (Ghostface Killah)]
I wanna go outside–in the rain...
It may sound crazy, but–it may sound crazy, but
(But I love you, Wise)
But I wanna go outside–in the rain
I wanna go outside–I wanna go outside (Love you, Wise)
I wanna go outside–in the rain...
It may sound crazy, I said, it may sound crazy, but I–
Wanna go outside–in the rain (Yeah...)
I wanna go outside–I wanna go outside (Take it back)
I wanna go outside–in the rain...
It may sound crazy, I said, it may sound crazy, but I–
Ohh... can't you see my crying? No... ohh!
