[Intro: Havoc]
Dear lord, when the day comes for you to lay me down to sleep
I pray to you my soul to keep
Rest in peace 2Pac
And all the rest of my brothers and sisters
Who become a victim of the streets
Now, Havoc and Prodeje, Bob and LV
Dedicate this to y'all
[Verse 1: Prodeje]
I live that backstreet drama
To my 21 years I put it down
The situation with the realest of peers
I took the blow, gauge blow, and now i roll solo
In my caddy that 2Pac thumbed (swoop swoop)
To eastside zones flossin ever
Cause i know in 10 secundes I'll be back on the curb
I had the urge to let one fly
Cause some trippin on my statius
But I ain't caught up in the rapture
I am man enough to let that one go
Educate the criminal
Tryna bring the power back to the hood
If it was all good like to for self
I would never left my block
I wouldn't of kicked it with a 44 cop
Now i sheed tears for years
Everytime my homeboy bit a bullet
It hurt deep in my soul
But i roll in a 64 drop
And pour whole lotta liquer dedicated to my gz in the sky
[Chorus: L.V.]
Wake me up when the morning comes
I want you to
Wake me up when the morning comes
When the morning comes (When the morning comes)
Cause I don't dream about good times
The hood's got me feelin the pain (Got me feelin' the pain)
And I wonder since I'm look in the mirror if the Lord's been good to me
[Verse 2: Prodeje]
Now I've bust foes, I've pimped hoes
I've been sold my soul more then once
I've been behind a trigger saw the quick fast life
I've done let the trigger pul to take young men's life
I've been behind bars, let me destiny guides me
See my black queens running with the tears in their eyes
I've seen a cop kill a brother
And justified it with a lie
Enough to make grown men cry
And if my tears invain
I plea guilty for loving my skin
If thats a sin put me under the pen
Caus I've seen a lifetime full of hurting and pain
Blood stains still remain and its wrecking my brain
I go to sleep but these demons they are awakend at night
I wanna end it but I'm a man enough to stay for the fight
So dont you wake me when i'm a sleep
Can I be seeing something better
Lets get these lost Gz back together
[Chorus: L.V.]
Wake me up when the morning comes
I want you to
Wake me up when the morning comes
When the morning comes (When the morning comes)
Cause I don't dream about good times
The hood's got me feelin the pain (Got me feelin' the pain)
And I wonder since I'm look in the mirror if the Lord's been good to me
[Verse 3: LV]
Try to tell myself its nothing here for me (Nothing here for me)
But when I'm going to my hood let me tell you what i see
I see homies dying young from day to day
But I'm hoping (hoping), wishing, praying (praying)
That we can see a better day
I don't want cha leave my hood
But I'm not tryna stay
Cause if you think about it, we can do without it
Killing another every day
You know I got love to Gz to get back
And I mean that cause i mean that
We living making sacrifices (sacrifices), all we need is facing some cry
[Chorus: L.V.]
Wake me up when the morning comes
I want you to
Wake me up (wake me up) when the morning comes
When the morning comes (When the morning comes)
Cause I don't dream about good times (No, no)
The hood's got me feelin the pain (Got me feelin' the pain)
And I wonder since I'm look in the mirror if the Lord's been good to me
[Ending]
(Got me feelin' the pain) [x6]
Wake me up... (Got me feelin' the pain)
(Got me feelin' the pain) [x2]
I don't wanna... (Got me feelin' the pain)
(Got me feelin' the pain)
I don't wanna... (Got me feelin' the pain)
(Got me feelin' the pain) [x3]
Wake me up... (Got me feelin' the pain)
