Eulogy Lyrics

[Intro: Child's voice]
"word up kid!"

[Pre-Verse: DJ Premier]
Yeah L.B., Bryan Moier

Jam Master Jay, Big L
Big Lee, Flamboyant for life
Aaliyah, Mad Mark

P. O., Left Eye

[Verse: Guru]
The emotions that one goes through, over a loss of a loved one
Or friend then, knowing the cost of rebuilding and carrying on

It gets so damn hard in this modern day Babylon
And disease runs rampant, so many men carry arm
So many have a lonely painful road to travel on
Mothers losing sons, improper use of guns
Children go astray because their parents were abusive ones
I used to run with the illest guys
Through the realest eyes
I seen the realest and the illest die
The cycle continues, so many times the good ones
The young ones
So many misunderstood ones
Remembering their faces and voices
And when the wise man said
Life is full of choices
Some get caught up, others are innocent victims
All I know is they were close to us, and that we miss them
