[Intro: Havoc]

Close your ears if you ain't ready for the real shit

Straight like that

Uh, check it out

Word is bond, man, some real shit

No matter how long it would take, baby, y'know what I'm sayin'?

No matter how long (y'know what I'm sayin'?)

It might seem long, y'know what I'm sayin'?

Word, straight up and down, I'm coming at you

Y'know what I'm sayin'? I'ma be there

Right or wrong, wrong or right

Right or left, left or right


[Verse 1: Havoc]

Why the fuck did your ass have to go and get knocked?

Now you got me on the phone, straight talkin' to the cops

Tryna verify your government, they got you now, they lovin' it

They wanna hang that ass, couldn't get you in the past

Though I can't say your prime, you was still young at the time

Did a lot of older things, you was ahead of your time

Never told you to slow down, Residual Crown Heights was wild

All I could say was be careful, give you a dap then bounce

Shit that you went through, watched the drama amount

Gave a fuck long as you wasn't part of the body count

Now I feel guilty, half the blame for your incarceration

Should've intervened when you first started catching cases

Fuck it, it's done, now you in there

Gotta hold it down, you your mother's only son

And I'ma ride for you, baby, cause you locked and it's still love

I'm still there, when you get home, I'mma be there


[Hook: Havoc]

You gotta (hold on)

No matter (how long)

And it seems (so long)

You gotta (hold on)

No matter (how long)

And it seems (so long)

You gotta (hold on)

No matter (how long)

And it seems (so long)

You gotta (hold on)

No matter (how long)

And it seems (so long)


[Verse 2: Prodigy]

I can't believe they got my dunn, it feel like my fault

Cause I fronted you that money to get that dough

Any man's held accountable for they action

Still and all I feel responsible for you being gone

I hit yo moms with a half a K every now & then

Just so you can live and keep your little cosmetics

And that five years was worth the little dough we made

Out of sight, out of mind, naw dawg, it's not me

I miss you, you on my mind daily

Even though I scribe to a nigga, really, you feel me

Trying to get my shit together, so you could be proud

When you touch down, We got businesses to run now

Peep it back how we used to run up in a nigga house

On some petty crime shit, boy we was not playin'

On occassion, I still check ya brotha 'tll the end

Black, and Bone crazy ass

Reading ya letters, I see you ain't lose ya sense of humour

Talkin' to you on the phone made my day cooler

Tellin' me, how you duff the COs out

You need to bring your black ass home and cut that bullshit out

I could remember me and Killa used to test our new guns in the projects

Cause that's where police won't come

Illa Ghee, my nigga 'till death do us

You almost home, until then, hold ya head, dunn


[Hook: Havoc]

You gotta (hold on)

No matter (how long)

And it seems (so long)

You gotta (hold on)

No matter (how long)

And it seems (so long)

You gotta (hold on)

No matter (how long)

And it seems (so long)

You gotta (hold on)

No matter (how long)

And it seems (so long)
