This one is for my brother, Tyree, R.I.P

A message to God

Since you finishing em early, what possessed you to start him?

We made a vow – later we'll regret 'til death do us part

Lord, I thought we was made for each other

You shouldn't connect those, made to be taken away from each other

Now what I'm supposed to do? I'm only half the man that I was

I'll never last, cause my better half is up there with you

You knew what you was doing when you made us, so with all due respect

You coulda forgave him, you didn't have to take him

He can take the game with him, cause he defines the word

The one who puts the G in it, who you think put me in it?

I'm feeling like my whole world is blinded, wondering why

Crying, pouring out my heart, pouring out liquor behind it

We fought like brothers, something we never should do

We coulda used time spent arguing telling the truth

He had talent too – I had plans on watching him blow

Don't know what hurts more, seeing him leave, or watching him go

Listen, listen, listen (Listen)

Listen, listen, listen (Better listen)

Listen, listen, listen

Listen

If you wan' know why (Why I live my life)

The way that I do (Cause I got to get this money)

So don't worry about me (Cause I know my way around)

I'm just hustling everyday, running this race, making this paper

You's a soldier, you're probably packing heat up there

Met up with homies from the street, and got deep up there

If you only knew the way I felt before they ruined the crew

I thought I learned from Eazy, now I'm going through it with you

We lost a thug, a son, and a father

I spoke to your son, the other day, and told him Uncle Dre got him

The Lord must be accidentally pulling your file

Cause I'm still paging you, 911, straight in denial

Praying you get it, but no man can choose the card he was dealt

You either quit, or you gon' play it like you get it

I done been through all emotions, from in shock, to keeping a poker face

To straight breaking down and showing all emotions

I'm anxious to believing real Gs don't cry

If that's the truth, then I'm realizing I ain't no gangster

It's just not me, but you know I'mma always ride with you

I miss you, sometimes I wish I just died with you

Listen, listen, listen (Listen)

Listen, listen, listen (Better listen)

Listen, listen, listen

If you wan' know why (Why I live my life)

The way that I do (Cause I got to get this money)

So don't worry about me (Don't worry, don't worry)

I'm just hustling everyday, running this race, making this paper

Listen

If you don't know why I you gotta listen up right now

Listen, listen, listen, listen

Listen, listen

Listen, listen, children, listen

I'm trying to tell you something good

Don't get caught up in the hood, yeah

If you don't know why

You gotta find out the reason why

Brother, brother
