So Much Death

[Intro]
Rest in peace
My heart goes out
Darnell Williams
UPT for life

[Verse 1]
Every day, I sit and wonder why I lost my daddy so young
Just reminisce, think how me and him had so much fun
Teachin' me man-to-man things 'bout the game
Lettin' me know always let 'em hang, be 'bout my change
Never thought death come that close to home, I was wrong
Never thought my daddy was goin' away, I was wrong
Him and my mama went through they little stages, always fight
Threw him out and made him walk the street, but it was alright
'Cause I knew he would be back tomorrow with the sorrow
She would take the frown away, let him stay
All he wanted me to do was to be cool, stay in school
But the dudes that I hanged with rearranged the whole attitude
When he died, I started hustlin' to get paid
I did the opposite, I know you turnin' in your grave
When I pray, I know you hear me at night
It ain't right, but I ain't white and all I got is the street life
I know you lookin' down sayin' you ain't raise me this way
Don't be mad, we'll talk about it when I come one day
Until we meet, I'll keep your name on the street
From son to dad, I love you, rest in peace

[Chorus]
So much death up on the city streets
Until we meet, my soldiers, rest in peace

[Verse 2]
I never understood life and how I got here
I just live and try to learn until it's my time to disappear
And see really where my homies at on the other side
Is there a heaven or hell or is it all a lie?
Make-believe, I ain't gon' believe 'til I see
Is there really a heaven for a true G?
If it is, I know Sterling made it
Pimp made it, my daddy made it
They was real, but got player-hated
Pimp, you're gone, but your spirit ain't, my nigga
You remembered as a legend, couldn't nobody out-rock ya
You made that style that these rookies tryin' to imitate
They fake as fake, I'm here to put 'em in they place
The one and only Pimp gone, stop tryin' to be him
And I got a Glock with seventeen for that dog Kim
And split that hat, 'cause she took him, I'ma take her
And when you get there, he gon' stomp you
When I get there, we gon' jump you
Otis from the thirteenth bit the dust
It's a must we strap up and retaliate in a rush
Bust, flush that beef like shit
Spin the bend, just hit and hit 'til it start to click
Sterling lived a soldier, died a soldier
Had respect for knockin' heads clean off the shoulder
From the Magnolia
All the players from that UPT
The one, two, three
That true to the game, rest in peace

[Chorus]
So much death up on the city streets
Until we meet, my soldiers, rest in peace

[Verse 3]
Pay attention to this song
Once you're gone, you're gone
It ain't no comin' back, once you're home, you're home
Every day, I hit the door, my mama preachin' to me
"Doogie, stop runnin' the streets, son, do it for me"
She know I'm 'bout money, strictly 'bout ballin'
The life you're livin', I hope your daddy ain't callin'
The things I go through, I think restin' is best
I'm chillin' while I'm in flesh, but I'll be happy when I rest
I got people to see, people to meet, people to greet
Just peep what the other world got for me
Is it joy like they see or nothing at all?
I'ma ball 'til I fall with my back against the wall
I'm chillin' on the block 'til the man come get me
Mark, hold us a chillin' spot, 'cause I'm bringin' blunts with me

[Chorus]
So much death up on the city streets
Until we meet, my soldiers, rest in peace
So much death up on the city streets
Until we meet, my soldiers, rest in peace
