[Intro]

Let's go (ay, ay, ay, ay, ay.. ay, ay, ay)

Y'all gon' wish for a nigga like me when I ain't here

Ya know what I'm sayin'? (think I'm lyin')

Say goodbye to the bad guy!

You don't appreciate a nigga my type

Once I die, ain't no mo' niggas my type

So just remember me right (you ain't gotta worry 'bout me no mo')

Just remember me right, hey, just remember me right

Hey, just remember me right, just remember me right

(But you gon' see is far worse than out there, hey!)

[Chorus]

Bet you don't appreciate a nigga my type

'Cause when I die, ain't no mo' niggas my type

So just remember me right

Bet if I let them suckas kill me tonight

All them haters gon' be filled with delight

And God forgive me, aight?

I sacrifice so they could live my life

If necessary I'd give my life, so what you hear is my life

Reputation decorated with stripes

No need for cryin' at the end of my life, hey, just remember me right

[Verse 1]

When your back was against the wall, remember, where could you go?

Remember who helped you again like he helped you befo'

Went out they way to let you know that you ain't ever alone

They disrespect you, you come get who 'til they left you alone

He taught you how to be weak, he taught you how to be strong

Taught you not to accept defeat, you go all out or be gone

But it ain't the same in the streets now that he gone

He now in heaven on the throne exactly where he belong

Now he left millions devastated and his family mourned

Sons turn to grown men since they daddy been gone

Daughters grew, like him or not, he left his family on

Even prepaid the funeral service he had in the dome

And there they came to represent, for a stand-up gent

Who walked it like he talked it, always said what he meant

Impossible to stop him, had a head like cement

Maybe now you'll appreciate a nigga like this (they might)

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]

If they had only knew the man outside of the hype

No matter what the situation, he always try to do right

Still they gossip to told lies, used to take him for granted

Often find it hard to relate, somehow they can't understand it

'Cause that respect he gon' demand it, if there's a problem he handle it

Look adversity in the eye, he never ran from a challenge

They tried to knock him off balance when the Feds came and got him

Did the time on his head, came home, that ain't stop him

That's why them niggas used to hate him but they girl used to jock him

Swear he had the kind of swagger made the world stop and watch him

Plus he possess so much hustle, made it impossible to top him

Got better every album, haters hate to see him drop 'em

They just talk shit from a distance, when he around, they playin' possum

He used to scare them suckas shitless, that's probably why them niggas shot him

And what it took, ain't nothin' else they ever could or did about it

So go on, talk shit about him, least you ain't forgot about him

I see

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]

Wanna say sorry to my momma, King and Lil' Mama

See me go through so much drama, you could stand a lil' thunder

Never let 'em see you sweat, stay cool as a cucumber

Stay ready for whatever, make 'em know I'ma do wonders

How he died? On his feet like a man with honor

Showed you the sky was the limit, you could do whatever you wanna

That's for Bubba and Domani, Deyjah and Neek-Neek

Don't worry 'bout me, Uncle Phil and Leiah's with me

See me wit'cha granddaddy - I know you gon' miss daddy

But life ain't always a dream, and horrible shit happens

Hate I let a nigga kill me before I could quit rappin'

And get to spend mo' time wit'cha, I know we'da been happy

But I had to take in them chances, you probably woulda been trappin'

Long as I could keep that from happenin', ya pappy can die happy

Just keep the wind at ya back, and the sun at ya face

Remember winnin' in your blood, you were born with what it take, okay?

[Chorus]

[Outro]

Hey y'all, with all my heart I apologize, man, I'm sorry

I tried, I did everythang I could, man, y'knowmsayin?

There was just more of them than there was me, ya dig?

They say you can't win 'em all

But shit, man, I gave them niggas hell long as I could though, bruh

Heh, and you could put the money on that, HEY!
