Thug Life, Nate Dogg - How Long Will They Mourn Me?

All my homies drinkin' liquor, tears in everybody's eyez Niggaz cry to mourn a homie's homicide But I can't cry instead I'm just a shoulda Damn, why'd they take another soldier? I load my clip before my eyez blurry Don't worry I'll get them suckas back Before your buried, shit, retaliate and pull a 187 The real niggaz get to go to heaven How long will they mourn me? Bury me a motherfucking G Bitch, don't wanna die then don't fuck wit me It's kinda hard to be optimistic When your homie's lying dead on the pavement twisted Ya'll don't hear me though, I'm trying hard to make ammends When I'm losing all my mothafucking friends Damn, they shoulda shot me when I was born Now I'm trapped in the mothafucking storm How long will they mourn me? (I wish it woulda been another) How long will they mourn me? (How long will they mourn my brotha) How long will they mourn me? (I wish it woulda been another) How long will they mourn me? (How long will they mourn my brotha) Every mothafucking day, homie You stayed down when the other niggaz didn't know me From my heart to the trigga, you my fuckin' nigga And things won't be the same without ya, nigga I remember kicking back you wanted a Lac And going half on a mothafuckin' hundred sack Smokin' blunt after blunt with steady drinkin' Hung around so much, you knew what I was thinkin' Tell me Lord why you take big Kato? So confused not knowing which way to go I'm going crazy runnin' outta fuckin' time I can't take it, I'm losing my fucking mind So day after day, ride after ride We'll hook up on the other side Watch over your family and your newborn Till we meet again, homie, how long will they mourn me? How long will they mourn me? (I wish it woulda been another) How long will they mourn me? (How long will they mourn my brotha) Damn, a nigga tired of feeling sad I'm tired of putting in work I'm tired of crying while watching my homies leave the earth I know soon one day I'll be in the dirt And my people's be mourning When thay get a call from the coroner All niggaz can say is that's fucked up And get tossed up, reminiscing how we grew up Rest and love to my nigga Kato See you in the crossroads real soon For now let me pour out some brew I'll be always thinkin of ya homie Rest in peace, how long will they mourn me? Ya know life's a fuckin' trip and everybody gotta go But why the fuck it have to be my nigga Kato Another nigga fell victim to the chrome It's enough to make ya crazy, it's fuckin' with my dome Ya only live once on this earth A nigga had it bad since the day of mothafuckin' birth But niggas say they down and they always be my homie But when a nigga gone, how long will they mourn me? How long will they mourn me? (I wish it woulda been another) How long will they mourn me? (How long will they mourn my brotha)
