Why did my homie have to die?
With tears in my eyes, I came to say goodbye (say goodbye)
Why did my homie have to die?
With tears in my eyes, I came to say goodbye (say goodbye)
Just passin' through to let you know that I remember the times we shared
(Oh yeah, mhm)
Your mother prayed for us both night and day
I guess this is what she feared
(Ooh-hmm, mhm)
The picture in my room keeps your image sharply in my head
(All in my head, mhm)
I just can't let go of the memories I have
Will this madness ever end?
Why did my homie have to die?
With tears in my eyes, I came to say goodbye (say goodbye)
Why did my homie have to die?
With tears in my eyes, I came to say goodbye (say goodbye)
Sometimes I wonder if it's better to be free or be in jail
(Ooh-hmm, mhm)
Incarceration at this time to me is better than Heaven or Hell
(Oh yeah, mhm)
I often wonder if you'd still be here if you had worn your vest
(Worn your vest, mhm)
You'll most likely soon see me
We'll all be a memory
If we don't change this mess (ooh)
Change it or we gone y'all
Why did my homie have to die?
With tears in my eyes, I came to say goodbye (say goodbye)
Why did my homie have to die?
With tears in my eyes, I came to say goodbye (say goodbye)
I'm passin' through to let you know
(Passin' through to let you know)
That I'm gonna tell everyone I know
(Gonna tell everyone I know)
How we used to send 'em to the floor
(Used to send 'em to the floor)
Have we, have we forgot to mourn? C'mon
Oh, how long, how long, how long will they mourn?
Oh-oh-oh, how long, how long, how long will they mourn?
Why did my homie have to die?
With tears in my eyes, I came to say goodbye
