O.C did this song in memory of his frequent-collaborator and fellow D.I.T.C-fallen member, Big L, who drastically passed away from a fatal gunshot in East Harlem, on February 15th, 1999. Here, O.C’s thought-provoking lyrics has unanswered questions, if this was God’s bigger plan to let L pass. Deep...
Intro:
Side by waters, my soul...
Righteousness...
Verse:
To my man Big L, God bless ya life
You was chose for a bigger plan
Now I understand
Even though you're not here, physical form
Ya nigga gon' rep 'til my name ain't warm
Hear me?
I had a conflict with God about pointing his rod
Did he make a mistake when you died by them slugs?
Or that sound-called thug who played jury and judge
For a minute now, my feelings wouldn't budge
I recall gettin' real high that night you died
The second month in the year
The fifteenth day, the night the earth criеd
Homicide on the set
Tapеd off the crime scene
News travelled that death delivered a blow to my team
One less regime member
Rap heavyweight contender
Gone but not forgotten, brought you the big picture
Your royal badness, caught up in the madness
You be forever in my thoughts, nigga...
