This one is for my brother, Tyree, R.I.P.

Oh, oh, listen, a message to God



Since you finishin' 'em early, what possessed you to start him?

We made a vow, later we'll regret till 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, woah

Listen, listen, listen, woah

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' everyday, runnin' this race, makin' this paper



Youse 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 it 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



I'm anxious to believe in 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, woah

Listen, listen, listen, woah

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' everyday, runnin' this race, makin' this paper



Listen, if you don't know why I, you better listen up right now

Listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh, listen, listen, children listen



I'm tryin' to tell you somethin' good

Don't get caught up in the hood

Well, well, oh if you don't know why

You better find out the reason why brother, brother
