Cousin Junie

[Produced by T-K.A.S.H.]

[Intro]
Yeah, Tomie Kash
Still, it's about to get real
Fo'-five-six, you know
Ice City, you know
Whatever happened to the Fo'-Trey game, you know?

[Verse 1]
Look, I still wake up in a cold sweat
Still can't accept that he phoned yet
I'm still rockin' like he on deck
I hear him yellin', "North Oakland, we on next!"
That was more than five years ago
My little cousin Junie ain't here no mo'
I've been copin' with the loss like a boss
But I struggle with his death when I think about the years befo'
Molotov Music days
Tryin' our best to break into the music game
Couldn't be a hype man all my life
Got a call from P and the appropriate move was made
I did it for the whole team
Told Cuz, "soak it up" and do his own thing
I wish I coulda seen it manifest
Past 2011 when my wife heard the phone ring

[Chorus]
Little something for my cousin Junie
On the Fo'-Trey, we let him truly
Something for my cousin Junie
On the Fo'-Trey, we let him truly
Little something for my cousin Junie
On the Fo'-Trey, we let him truly
Something for my cousin Junie
On the Fo'-Trey, we let him truly

[Verse 2]
Every now and then, cats try to bump fear
My little cousin reminded them, "ain't no suckers and no punks here"
Adjust your ears when you come near
He wasn't Suge or Saddam, but the neighborhood has order here
Try to imagine what it's like to be voiceless
Amongst noises of being voided and exploited
Choiceless, optionless
Pots to fist been gone, nothin' left but some rocks to get
And if that's what the option is, ain't nothin' left but death
Cops and kids on some toxic shit
The block was his, a true and known fact but he never really wanted it
And if you did know that, then it's hard to believe
That you really go back far enough to conceive
The folk before crack, the North before rap
'Cause that's the foundation that I stand on
My right hand gone, man I'ma stand alone

[Chorus]
Little something for my cousin Junie
On the Fo'-Trey, we let him truly
Something for my cousin Junie
On the Fo'-Trey, we let him truly
Little something for my cousin Junie
On the Fo'-Trey, we let him truly
Something for my cousin Junie
On the Fo'-Trey, we let him truly
