[Hook]

When I came to you there on that cold

Telephone pole horror of the night

And you came out to meet me

And then tell me things and sit down on the porch swings


[Verse 1: 9th Prince]

Congratulations you coming home next month

Humble as a monk

We celebrate with Cristal and skunk

The family's large, it's hard being God

Still take charge come home to a massage

A line of credit cards with a Land Cruiser parked in the garage

And trying to make up for the times when you was gone

Being locked up while my heart was torn

You wrote me letters

Telling me when you come home things will be much better

I mailed you a pair of Tims for a Wu-Wear sweater

Up in the penal [?dipped?] for the weather

In difficult times it's hard to maintain

I strive to live in the shelter that blocks out the rain

And that rain is pain

The stress on the brain will have a nigga insane

Forced to stay awake, late nights it's hard to sleep, when I peek

'Cause the kid you chopped up maybe trying to creep on me

Mental explosion when I meditate over by Tappan Lake

Thoughts remain calm like the ocean

Puff a little war potion

Every day seems like slow motion

When I stare at the stars surrounded by trees

Sometimes I feel like a fallen leaf

Blown away by wind realities

Strong breeze, but you're free

I took the block off the horn

So let knowledge be born

Blood brothers forever, Killa Beez on the swarm

When I came to you there on that cold

Telephone pole horror of the night

[Verse 2: Killa Sin]

Dom P's passed, guns blast I recollect on the past

On how we ran wild together chasing cash and ass

Small time thing, managing stings for nugget rings

Went back far like acorn fights around the swings

Kingpin style, juveniles raised with major flav

Tenth grade came went on our own and severed ways

Never realized Poppy would die or leave my side

When you passed kid I cried until my insides dried

Homicide never, I visualize better, you live forever in my heart son

Mentally dun we roll together

Though years past I still hear blasts as guns flashed

My nigga run fast, was coming to a lifeless crash

On the concrete my legs felt weak

I couldn't eat, get a long sleep

This shit is way beyond bone deep

Now I sip beers, shed a few tears with our peers

Play the rears, do the knowledge through glares and cold stares

Yo it's hard kid, I swear to my unborn this war's going on

Veterans taking falls to young pawns

But I stay strong and try to move on and live life to the fullest

Rest in peace to the God who took a bullet
