For the Thugs That's Gone

Layzie Bone, representin for all my fallen soldiers
 I keep my, feet on the concrete, and I ride for the cause
 That's why this opportunity still knockin like I would in my balls
 Forever the, hood in me dawg, and yeah the law is still trailin
 Been some time since I been drug sellin, they labeled me a thug felon
 And at least they think so, see me rollin in my Benzo drivin
 I-90 East on the freeway, po-po and they wanna stop me
 They see me leave the projects, pick up suspicious objects
 My cousin Skano had that sticky green so I went to cop it
 They always fuckin with me, just got a Denali truck
 They hate that I'm it with the windows tinted, finna roll this up
 And I know they hate to see me, they smell the leather on me
 As soon as they ask me for license I'm quick to flash it on 'em
 And sure done rollin 'em proper, cause dawg I learned my lesson
 Big Wally told me to get legit so I can roll with weapons
 And I pray the Lord he bless 'em, I pray he R.I.P
 Forever I'm holdin down your legacy in these streets
 So we pour this liquor out
 For the thugs that's gone, for the thugs that's gone
 And if you feelin what we talkin about
 Then you know we mourn, and you know it's on
 Even though they all gone home
 You know life goes on, and it won't be long
 'til we see each other again
 It goes on and on on, and on and on on
 We wanted the money and the power, remember how quick it all came?
 Little hustlers gettin it, makin that dough, already we thick in the game
 We thought we as slick as they came, a little bit sick and deranged
 Doin thangs, did not seem strange, I can't explain but we had to bang
 And your name we keep it poppin, them polished pimpin playas
 Represent from everywhere, my niggas from the Clair
 We keep on movin, movin, if I happen to be who next
 Just keep on movin, movin, makin these niggas give respect
 Cause I'm that worldwide baller now, and everywhere I go
 I keep my heat right by my side, in case y'all ain't know
 We wouldn't do shit to start some drama, man we riders for real
 Layin our freedom on the line, tryin to provide us a meal
 And I'm makin mil's, sellin mil's off record deals, still in the hood
 Nigga Troy, Hollywood, Little Boo, it's all good
 We love y'all and miss y'all, Tombstone from Mo Thug
 You my dawg, and sho' enough, and you know when I show love (that's right)
 This life is tricky, ain't it? Pictures painted, tainted and distorted
 It's like these memories all I have, so I report it and record it
 Remember that baby she was gorgeous, not a flaw in the world
 But she left us and went to Heaven, oh precious, that beautiful little girl
 See we can take it for granted, cause it ain't promised
 Never know just how this life is gon' be
 Better take advantage as much as you can manage
 Cause if you damage it this is all it's gon' be - trust me
 Too many celebrities perish, these people we love and cherish
 And I had a chance to met Aaliyah, but I was too embarrassed
 And I should've took that chance, I heard that from a man
 Jam Master Jay was so real, y'all niggas don't understand
 He told me to handle my busniess, make sure I pay my taxes
 A little advice from a legend to keep my paper stackin
 And I gotta give props to Eazy, that nigga put me on
 If he didn't believe in the Thugs, y'all wouldn't have heard of Bone
