[Spoken by Ice Cube] Niggaz are in a state of emergency The death side: a mirror damage of where we are today The life side: a vision of where we need to go So sign your death certificate Fuck all y'all [At the funeral] ... Lisa got him - Allright, on three. One, two... threeee. Get all folks together, walk this way. Can't believe it though. The homeboy... Hey, open that door - Open it Allright - 'Right [Gospel music starts playing] ... We've come together by God's demand Whether it be for life, or death Well, this morning, it's over the mourning of one of our little brothers This brother was a good brother He didn't get into an excessive amount of trouble But it's one thing... It's one thing! It's one thing... He was the wrong nigga to fuck with!
