Yo

When I wrote this I was out of focus

Vision blurred from the tears

Voice shaken when I talk, it′s like my words wasn't clear

Could deform from my air and looked at it, puzzled

These niggas with guns is all thumbs and no muscle

Put the draw key like an RTs in these dark streets

Widin′ out like rockweilers on a dog leash

My n***a got shot twice

Trippin' off the news I just heard

Feelin' the pain but they was just words

Imagine, bullets gashing, puttin′ holes through your latest fashion

You in the casket, your face is batten

It hurts to think about it

It even hurts more to know you was gettin′ closer

To putting your foot in the door, rest eternally

You was definitely a real n***a

Can't forget the times for citing rhymes in the shell with ya

Here we are sinners, actin′ like we was never saved

But as long as you wear my heart you in a better place

In the beginning there was, in the beginning there was

In the beginning there was you

In the beginning there was, in the beginning there was

In the beginning there was you, you

In the beginning there was, in the beginning there was

In the beginning there was you

In the beginning there was, in the beginning there was

In the beginning there was you, you

Ayo pie (what's the deal?), let′s conversate for a minute ('bout what?)

′Bout this f'd up world and what's in it (as far as what?)

As far as crime on the street bein′ prevented

From Casper to our heart, no feelings

His death got me puttin′ on a suit, lookin' in the mirror thinkin′

It's trite, for the first time in my life consider drinking

Two for your man′s wrist, bodies in the ambulance stiff

And this to catch you share future plans with

Just the other day, and you swear you were see him

Just the other day, thought the long line waitin' to see him

But forget that, you gotta remember the better days

We all dreamed of being stars but you throwing off UV rays

I guess the cosmos with the colosso, alpha chemicals

You probably strikin′ down, maybe thinking it wasn't filling you

Just kiddin', you can never see the world through your vision

We could try to see a living through your ritters, real

In the beginning there was, in the beginning there was

In the beginning there was you

In the beginning there was, in the beginning there was

In the beginning there was you, you

Ayo L (what up, do?), let′s conversate for a minute (′bout what?)

'Bout this f′d up world and what's in it (as far as what?)

As far as crime on the streets bein′ prevented

From Casper to our heart, no feelings

So put your minds up, pray the Lord to take this stress away

It could bring a better day, for the second time

'Cause after losing a loved one, a piece of mind, some people never find it

And it while your time and while when you was finished shine

Burnin′ in cold blood, niggas is gettin' sicker

But for one of some s**t like this I didn't picture

Was in the studio when I got the news that your life sent

Twisted me up and made me wanna do a song right there

We take for granted our time here, wouldn′t figure my time′s near

You wasn't either until I saw you lyin′ there

And it make you put it in perspective dawg how precious life is

What niggas is capable of and what trife is, I felt it

Through the tears of my girl who went to school with you

And every other cat that bust rhymes and was cool with you

So over you be reminisc' do

My n***a bugs and plugs the dirty dozen, one love

In the beginning there was, in the beginning there was

In the beginning there was you

In the beginning there was, in the beginning there was

In the beginning there was you, you

In the beginning there was, in the beginning there was

In the beginning there was you, you

In the beginning there was, in the beginning there was

In the beginning there was you, you, you
