to the homies that we lost r kelly featuring boo and gotti 
yo? what up my n 
you know i was in the hood 
i just thought i?d stop by 
holler at you for a minute 
pour out a little liquor or some?in? 

n we done been through a lot of s together 
from runnin? these streets to bein? down for whatever 
and now that you?re gone i got a whole lot of s to 
tell you 
things i should?ve said way back when we was younger 

remember when we used to roll hand in hand 
and now i?m trippin? on how i really miss you man 
and remember when you and me would say 
we?d get up out this hood and everything would be okay 

it?s all good now my n 
we out the hood now mmm 
we had the same ideas but not the same careers 
we shared the same old laugh and now the same tears 

you were my homie my sconey my roni 
my n and never placed no b before me 
man i sear to god i love for that s 
why?d you have to get hit 
where was i what time was it 

you were supposed to get older with me 
on stage hands on shoulders with me 
coppin? them range rovers with me 
sittin? on thangs and smokin? trees 

and if it wasn?t for the will that god had made 
i?d turn back the hands of time and take your place 
sittin? here sippin? on this hennessy 
just thinkin? about how much you meant to me my n 

even when you?re gone you will always be my n 
when you went home i?m still missin? you my n 
i?m feelin? like the timing was wrong my n 
i know you?re smilin? down sayin? carry on my n 

some times my nights can get long my n 
some times i feel god did me wrong my n 
so i had to write a song my n 
just to let you know that you?re still my n 

i wish i wish i wish oh i 
i wish i wish i wish 

little son is lookin? at me like 'where is my daddy ' 
and your 13 year old daughter is mad 'cause she 
understands 
promised your mama i?d take care of the family 
but she?s so hurt she turns away my helpin? hands 

damn i wish your a was here my n 
to grow that gray beard and smoke that cigar my n 
and we would talk about you gettin? up out this game 
and you would tell me how it keeps callin? your name 

we used to ride ride ride 
never afraid to die die die 
but some times we cry cry cry 
askin? the lord why why why 
they?re tearin? down these projects 

we were homies for like 20 thug years 
sat in church and cried the same thug tears 
you remember when vibe world premier 
how we used to share the same old gear 

and remember when you and me would say 
we?d get up out this hood and everything would be okay 

it?s all good now my n 
we out the hood now 
it?s so easy for folks to say 'rob just live on' 
when i?m dyin? every second that you?re gone 
nevertheless i try my best to be strong 
hopin? you said your prayers before you went on home 

when we stood on these blocks and just shot the breeze 
we?d slapbox dead in the middle of streets 
and if a fight broke out you would take up for me 
you?re all i have left of these ghetto memories 

i wish i wish i wish oh i 
i wish i wish i wish 

uh uh yo? dog i can?t explain how i miss you 
we stayed together coppin? cane poppin? pistols 
i miss you most 
puttin? the doo rag over your bean head 
even out the hood on the scene you brag whoa 
comin? up off the fiends for bags 
runnin? up out the cleaners drag 
you was the closest n i had 
look how we stayed aces 
hustled made big faces 
i wish we could trade places 
f givin? you ice i?d rather give you life 
and the things that i had i?d give you twice oh 
yeah 

so what the deal my n i know you holdin? it down 
if you could see me you would say i?m talkin? soft 
right now 
but it?s hard for me to see when i?mma see you again 
and i know it?s f ed up i gotta talk through this 
pen 
but you?d died for the love of the dough 
the love of the block 16 you was runnin? the spot 
boy your mama used to hate how we stood on the curb 
hangin? with wild thug n s smokin? the herb mmm 
hmm hmm 
i?m gonna keep pourin? this liquor and that?s my word 
this here is for n s that be flippin? them birds 
oh
