Life Goes On Lyrics

[Intro]
Yeah
This one goes out
To all my niggas across the world
Going through that struggle
Feeling that pain
We with you, my niggas
But no matter what God has planned for us, know this
Life goes on

[Chorus: Ja Rule]
I pour out a lil' liquor for (Oh)
I wish, I wish, I wish for (Yeah)
For all my niggas that's dead and gone (Oh, yeah)
I'm gon' see you when I get there (Life goes on)
I pour a lil' liquor for (Oh)
I wish, I wish, I wish for (Yeah)
For all my niggas that's dead and gone (Oh, yeah)
I'm gon' see you when I get there (Life goes on)

[Verse 1: Ja Rule]
They say kill or be killed's the only way to live these days
So how come only my hood niggas live this way?

We put together the puzzle, but still stuck in a maze
I put it all in perspective 'cause I'm coming of age
Twenty-eight and I see more niggas go to the grave
More mamas in pain
, more murals with names, ayy
Sometimes you look to the Lord to blame
And pray every day wishing that things could change 'cause
I'm just wishing you was here, my niggas
Wish that you could be with me to ball, my niggas
Send a sign, I'm on call, niggas
Promise to pick me up if I fall, my niggas
The way I wish y'all was still alive (I know)
Through memories, y'all still alive (And I know)
Through my eyes in my mind, you'll live forever
[Chorus: Ja Rule & Trick Daddy]
I pour out a lil' liquor for (Pour out some liquor for, oh)
I wish, I wish, I wish for (Woah, I wish for, yeah)
For all my niggas that's dead and gone (For all my niggas dead and gone, oh, yeah)
I'm gon' see you when I get there (Yo, life goes on)
I pour out a lil' liquor for (Pour out some liquor for, oh)
I wish, I wish, I wish for (I wish for, yeah)
For all my niggas that's dead and gone (For all my niggas dead and gone, oh, yeah)
I'm gon' see you when I get there (Life goes on)

[Verse 2: Trick Daddy]
I pour it out for my niggas that's dead and gone
As for my niggas in prison, I throw it up 'cause I'm riding for 'em
Big Black and Lil Will, them there my niggas still
Mu Tah and Lil Itchy, you know a nigga miss you
Tron and Lil Al, Bam, Skeet and Younger Al
Twan and Lil Trap, I wish y'all was still here

And I ain't a heard a word for more than ten years
I feel that if I'd been there, he'd still be here
But I'ma hold it down and ain't gon' cry about it
'Cause I'ma holler at you, I'll see you in the next life
And I'll still be that same nigga
Still doin' thug things and wearing the same ol' Dickies
Then we can still drink the same Henny
'Cause back then, that's how we did it
So how could I forget it?
My condolences goes out to those I lost in the struggle
My homie and my oldest brother

[Chorus: Ja Rule & Trick Daddy]
I pour out a lil' liquor for (Pour out some liquor for, oh)
I wish, I wish, I wish for (Woah, I wish for, yeah)
For all my niggas that's dead and gone (For all my niggas dead and gone, oh, yeah)
I'm gon' see you when I get there (Yo, life goes on)
I pour out a lil' liquor for (Pour out some liquor for, oh)
I wish, I wish, I wish for (I wish for, yeah)
For all my niggas that's dead and gone (For all my niggas dead and gone, oh, yeah)
I'm gon' see you when I get there (Life goes on)

[Verse 3: Chink Santana]
What part of the game is this, my nigga?
Wish you was with me in my six, my nigga
While you was flipping them bricks, I figure
I've been flooding the streets with hits, my nigga
You told me give it my heart, I gave it my love
I gave it my life, but you was my blood
You bringing me pain, dog, but now I'm on the grind
I'm trying to stay focused, I'm losing my mind
I'm missing you dearly, I wish you was here
Dog, fucking these hoes with me, but instead, I'm in tears
But when you passed, it rained
And God's tears took away the fucking pain
So look, man
Ayy, I can't cry no more
You died once and you can't die no more (No more)
Shit, so they can't stop me now
The only way is if they pop me now
I'ma hold it down
[Chorus: Ja Rule & Trick Daddy]
I pour out a lil' liquor for (Pour out some liquor for, oh)
I wish, I wish, I wish for (Woah, I wish for, yeah)
For all my niggas that's dead and gone (For all my niggas dead and gone, oh, yeah)
I'm gon' see you when I get there (Yo, life goes on)
I pour out a lil' liquor for (Pour out some liquor for, oh)
I wish, I wish, I wish for (I wish for, yeah)
For all my niggas that's dead and gone (For all my niggas dead and gone, oh, yeah)
I'm gon' see you when I get there (Life goes on)

[Outro]
Damn
You niggas got me feelin' this shit in here, man
V, I miss you
It's aight, though
Life goes on
No matter what
Life goes on, right?
I wanna say to all my peoples, all my niggas
All my family
Just in case I don't get a chance to, you know?
I love y'all
IG
Life goes on
