10 years later
I'm blessed and still breathing
But I gotta tell you Jay things are not greater
As you know many more lives are terminated
So even more scars accumulated
Memories engraved deep, not faded
Dead came pass, no Sunday shaded
But I know without you Jay I'd a never made it
10 years later
Thinking about you brother all the time (and I be)
Talking to you most of my rhymes
Things are not better Jay feel me
More scars, more memories (and I be)
Hoping that the babies don't suffer (and I be)
Tell 'em that MF love ya
Clutched in the hands of poverty
More scars, more memories
Traveled through the years, jealousy
Became a cancer, to the family
Quest for money divided us
Feels like they forgot you died for us
Feels like God just lied to us
Life on earth is death to us
Not saying I can't be wrong
Just saying about this I feel strong
To the mighty Subroc
Big Al

And to all them other ones who left this earth too soon
Rest in peace
Now let me just calm down
Get myself together
Like I told you
I dont just endorce anything
I dont just walk into the studio and say this is hot
Or put my name
Or put my image
Just because
I'm tellin you
This man is hat
I've known this man for many years, 'ait
Taking it back, to the executiner days
When Roc Raida was his DJ and it was gettin' in the streets
He has continued on, and done his thing
And this is the combination of all that right here
Special herbs and spices, volume one
