Shed So Many Tears (Tribute)

[00:00.94] I shall not fear no man but God
[00:03.24] Though I walk through the valley of death
[00:05.31] I shed so many tears
[00:09.26] If I should die before I wake
[00:10.68] Please, God walk with me
[00:12.46] Grab a nigga and take me to Heaven
[00:22.59] Back in elementary, I thrived on misery
[00:26.47] Left me alone I grew up amongst a dying breed
[00:29.25] Inside my mind, couldn't find a place to rest
[00:31.78] Until I got that Thug Life tatted on my chest
[00:34.34] Tell me can you feel me?
[00:35.72] I'm not living in the past, you wanna last?
[00:38.82] Be the first to blast Remember Kato
[00:41.08] No longer with us, he's deceased
[00:42.87] Call on the sirens, seen him murdered in the streets, now rest in peace
[00:46.54] Is there heaven for a G? Remember me
[00:49.36] So many homies in the cemetery, shed so many tears
[00:52.95] Ah, I suffered through the years, and shed so many tears
[00:53.44] Lord, I lost so many peers, and shed so many tears
[00:54.10] Now that I'm struggling in this business, by any means
[00:55.56] Label me greedy gettin' green, but seldom seen
[00:57.91] And fuck the world 'cause I'm cursed, I'm having visions
[01:00.67] Of leaving here in a hearse, God can you feel me?
[01:03.33] Take me away from all the pressure and all the pain
[01:06.18] Show me some happiness again, I'm going blind
[01:08.91] I spend my time in this cell, ain't living well
[01:11.74] I know my destiny is Hell, where did I fail?
[01:15.02] My life is in denial and when I die
[01:17.31] Baptized in eternal fire I'll shed so many tears
[01:20.86] Lord, I suffered through the years, and shed so many tears
[01:25.76] Lord, I lost so many peers, and shed so many tears
[01:31.55] Now I'm lost and I'm weary
[01:33.01] So many tears
[01:34.17] I'm suicidal so don't stand near me
[01:36.22] My every move is a calculated step, to bring me closer
[01:39.79] To embrace an early death, now there's nothing left
[01:42.43] There was no mercy on the streets, I couldn't rest
[01:45.12] I'm barely standing, 'bout to go to pieces, screaming peace
[01:48.07] And though my soul was deleted, I couldn't see it
[01:50.89] I had my mind full of demons trying to break free
[01:53.60] They planted seeds and they hatched, sparking the flame
[01:56.31] Inside my brain like a match, such a dirty game
[01:59.12] No memories, just a misery
[02:01.32] Painting a picture of my enemies killing me in my sleep
[02:04.70] Will I survive 'til the mornin' to see the sun
[02:07.49] Please Lord forgive me for my sins, 'cause here I come
[02:10.36] Lord, I suffered through the years, and shed so many tears
[02:19.76] God, I lost so many peers, and shed so many tears
[02:37.44] Lord knows I tried, been a witness to homicide
[02:41.01] Seen drive-bys takin' lives, little kids die
[02:43.97] Wonder why as I walk by
[02:46.01] Broken-hearted as I glance at the chalk line, getting high
[02:49.52] This ain't the life for me, I wanna change
[02:52.14] But ain't no future bright for me, I'm stuck in the game
[02:55.44] I'm trapped inside a maze
[02:56.91] See this Tanqueray influenced me to getting crazy
[02:59.25] Disillusioned lately, I've been really wanting babies
[03:01.68] So I could see a part of me that wasn't always shady
[03:05.33] Don't trust my lady 'cause she's a product of this poison
[03:07.96] I'm hearing noises, think she's fuckin' all my boys, can't take no more
[03:10.75] I'm fallin' to the floor, beggin' for the Lord to let me in
[03:15.49] To Heaven's door, shed so many tears
[03:21.92] Lord, I suffered through the years, and shed so many tears
[03:25.36] I lost so many peers, and shed so many tears
[03:28.37] Lord, I suffered through the years, and shed so many tears
[03:35.45] God, I lost so many peers, and shed so many tears
[03:39.76]
