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 doin' 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 feelin' like my whole world is blinded, wonderin' why Cryin', pourin' out my heart, pourin' out liquor behind it We fought like brothers, somethin' we never should do We coulda used time spent arguin', tellin' the truth He had talent too, I had plans on watchin' him grow Don't know what hurts more, seein' him leave or watchin' him go Listen listen listen, listen listen Listen listen listen, better listen Listen listen listen Listen If you wanna 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) 'Cause I'm just hustlin' every day Runnin' this race, makin' this paper You's a soldier, you're probably packin' 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 goin' 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 Prayin' you get it but no man can choose the card he was dealt You either quit or you gon' play 'em like you get it I done been through all emotions, from in shock, to keepin' a poker face To straight breakin' down and showin' all emotions From anxious to believin' real G's don't cry If that's the truth, then I'm realizin' I ain't no gangsta It's just not me but you know I'ma always ride wit you I miss you, sometimes I wish I just died wit you Listen listen listen, listen listen Listen listen listen Listen listen listen Listen If you wanna 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, worry) 'Cause I'm just hustlin' every day Runnin' this race, makin' this paper Listen, baby you don't know why You betta listen up right now Listen, listen, listen, listen Listen, listen Listen Listen, children listen I'm tryin' to tell you somethin' good Don't get caught up in the hood If you don't know why You gotta find out the reason why Brother, brother
