This beat brings back mad memories. This song was a classic Ja and Mo were a great pari for this track. Fuck what anybody says I've always been a Ja Rule fan, this is just one of his many hits that he had back in the late 90's early 00's.
Jeah, bin heute mal wieder total gesmootht drauf, ich bin ein Deutscher Rapper und lauf von mir aus, mit ner 9mm direkt in deine Hood, danach geht es erstmal wieder mit den jungs ab in den puff. Knall den Hundi jetzt auf den tisch für die Fotze, 3 liter bier hinter mir und ich kotze.. ausversehen auf die ganzen Tanzstangen konnte dabei nicht mal die hälfte meienr kotze auffangen.Da kam der Erste Türsteher gleich auf mich zu, Er schrie mich an und kickte mich mit seinen Stahl Schuh 1,2,3,4 mal..
We al cry one day, maybe on that sunday, at church cause you know that life could hurt. Its been a long time without work, no job, being broke is so hard, yo I try to be strong and don't go rob yo. Or break off a dough knob. and enter in the night. I can't even go to sleep because my baby needs some wipes. Its a cold world we live in gotta dress right. Might get a cold and who noes, start drooling kujo, im just right true yo, straight off the top like curled toes.
Yeah i cry i dont really tell anybody cuz im a guy but i keep pain and struggle inside and i keep my pride on my left shoulda always said be tuff like a shoulja but im not a boy im a young man 16 to be exact i keep my real friends close never know who trying to attack could be somebody or the Illuminati witch is evreybody dam noones really safe if u think about it, but ima shout it give my homies a warning go to sleep hit me up in the morning
look. when i shed tears. you would shed more. you use to be mah girl now u a lil whore. why u have to leave so quickly, down in da dumbs im feelin Janet Jackson with out Professor Klumps, well, im not big doe, cept' in otha places, when i walk past our spot tears come on mah face nd i cant take it i cant hold, bby i wnt u im 4ever longin....
We use to cry together,drink fuck and get high together,high school sweethearts we pose to die together,But even my coat couldn't protect you from the bad weather,how was i to know our beef started wit the devil,imma man who was settin all but the right example,Forever willing and able,to get you bac my cable,It was just me and you,from the first time we made love yeah i knew our pain brought us closer as together we grew,I love u jazzy 06 remember the crew,northside whereever we went ever wat
over the last three years, I done lost some peers/seems like I'm all cried out ,left is no more tears/ lost my Dad and Uncle Bruce, so instead of Gin&Juice/ I drink away the sadness with something of stronger proof/cancer took my Uncle Mike, glad he lived a decent life/ but in return he leaves a new born and heartache to his wife/ my Paw Paw last year/"WHY" is the question I ask here/ It's time I crack a smile cause I cried all last year!
It was the first time as a grown man crying/ Walking around the jungles tryna remain the Lion/ Even small things seem bigger to a giant/ Cant count on nobody cause aint nobody else reliant/ So I hold on the gun and the promises of GOD/ Get it hard cause whats your accomplishments when you rob/ Temperary feel good and then you still need a job/ Still dependent you'll still be a snob/
One night i went 2 bed i prayed to lord above please take this sickness from the only one i love you can take it from her and then give it to me and if i die and she lives lord please let it be yu see the problem was me, givin her all the stress, i cant take it no moe I wanna put it to rest My heart it broken and torn my mind is stuck in the morn wana b free lyka safari G-mama i swear Im sorry
we cry for our people becuse some cant live without us we need get cool with each other cause ion the future it be like the 60s blacks could go to a white portuguees getting pick on by richer people and mexicans getting fuck up by the rednecks now listen what im trying to say.we all cry sometimes even when watching a sad movie its all true yea r.i.p my grandparents and my uncles i miss u guys
us cryin together is like a monsoon and yea i kno you might lose ya ma soon we gotta know that if theres no gloom how can appreciate flowers dat bloom this world is so beatiful and also lovely sometimes i wonder do all yaw love me i get lost when eva i look above me cuz im waitin for a rope to tug me and take me to a better place so i can go and see yo place theres gotta be a better way to get over this crazy day so if u lost and cant hold on imma make sure you keep hold on
murdertilltheend i feel u bra but shyt down here iz 2 crazy but ima tak ur advice i keep my head cuz no matta wha there a sunshine thru all da darkest dayz n armisstrong well as long as u get da picture
dadecountyprincess30 keep yo head up dont loose yo strange!i know the wold is ruff...but its just a rage..keep doin yo thing baby and keep smilin,u gotta fight back never get hidin!!!i can feel ya and u feel pain,and even when the sun shines feel like u stand in the rain,but never give up keep fightin..u got a talent from god so keep rhymin.....
zion i - planes trains instrumental is the same sample as this but a better drum pattern i have it on my channel. and in the vid responses it kills this beat
my hold life i cry but one day i open my eye and see what's going on round me so now i see so now i'm out cha but one i will move on from it cause now i see my life so what about you i'm make it now one love geechee boy
no time to understand/ just time to get better/ no one understanding, why?/ rainy days gettin wetter/ and the clouds aint too right/ and it seems lightnings just too bright / but its gonna be alright / just hold on tight/ it just might/ Make us a little stronger to push through/ so u can rely on me, and I rely on u too/ throught days tht pass/ I wont wear a mask/ so when u need me/ dont hesitate to ask/ why question my love/ its so easy to see/ so when i cry, u cry/ Feel free to be
listen we come from what see i and what we see is what we do so.... if u want to be in schoool then be in school....you wana hold tools then hold tools....you waana play that fool then play fool but u no that this shit is life and this beat is slow for my flow cuz i dont got doh but i still got enough flow to go to the sto and buy my dope
ayo... I cry, you cry We all cried when Tu died and I wanna view the world wit new eyes and rite now place me in the category of the confused type because it's still doom at nites, schools still bustin out in fights barbed wires on the walls and cops in the halls shit makes me think what happened 2 our balls? I take a puff from the blunt, and let time pause Let me press play 1nce I roll up this dime dog I did 13 months in jail, inflicted in a cell Livin in hell, family sending me pictures n mail
Yo, I didn't grow up in da hood/ Two Parents, one sister, everything was all good/ N than something happened, changed our whole life/ Doctors said it would be alright/ yeah right, I had my doubts, so I searched it/ Diagnosis looking pretty grim/ Was it worth it/ Mom came down with Ovarian/ Doctors found the answers/ What's the rate of survival from this type of cancer/ Now I know, cause she died in October/ Yeah, that shit turned my world over/ Now she can R.I.P/ Until that day, I can hold her/
damn, i read and feel your loss. lost 2 aunts within 2 weeks in the month of march. no rhymin or bullshit. guilty feelings cause i didnt have no reaction to it..may -be cause i wasnt reallt close to'em.....................hold ya head and my condolences go out to you and yo fam. 1
baby if it all end could we still b friends/could we mend that open wound or will it jus depen/when we first met i geuss we dove in the deep end/i needed love u needed someone to believe in/ya last man was creepin my last girl was cheatin/but they say everything happens for a reason/u tend not to believe them but believe this/even in this fucked up world true love still exist/lifes a bitch but that dont mean that every woman is/and u lucky u got a man who kno the difference
it was me miss thang, up in tha club doin our dance, tha way she shook that ass, i knew she could bounce, wit em lipz it'l look good wit a blunt, i asked her we can drink n smoke a ounce, she smiled n said im down, she aint even looked around, we out tha door, she looked hot wit her clothez, n a minute we'l see wen we get a mo, i tel ya wen i hit it u gon want sum mo, doin tha slow motion for ya lyk juvenile, but i can go fast lyk a nascar, jux let me knoe if ya dwn to get buttwild
me nd mah siters stood together i thought it would last 4ever so i stop tryna find time wit her nd i rather go out nd chill wit mah boys yu kno young fellows roamin da streets makin alot of noise tryna get they shyne on nd mah sister yu was there 2 gimme the soulder 4 me 2 cry on nd i never really told yu i loved you now i wish dat i could hold yu tight nd tell yu i love yu wit all mah might nd at nite i think of yu nd where yu mite b in it brings tears in mah eyes nd i still kno yu luv bgkfries
