2Pac, Outlawz, Val Young, Nate Dogg - Teardrops and Closed Caskets lyrics

(Hahhh, hahaha) Hehehe, word
It's like all we got left
– teardrops and closed caskets
(Throw it up, fool! Hey, nigga, haha)
Tell me how you feel, homie

(yeah, it took a week to go down)
You recollects and see how crazy it sounds
The whole town's on a mission, adolescents
(Penitentiary bound)
(Now introducin' Young Trigga)
Since birth, eyes set on gettin' bigger
Just another wild-ass nigga
(But he was fiendin' for Precious) WHAT?
(But Precious was a ghetto girl)
Couldn't be no sex without that gold Lexus
(But Lil' Trigga was heartbroken
He had to get his papers)
Seein' visions of people smokin'
And niggas catchin' vapors
Got his man from around the corner


(we call him Lil' Mo)
(Been in so many reform schools they
Had to let him go)
(Here's where the plot thickens)
They got a plot to make a
Profit with they Glocks spittin'
(They call the squad
Hittin' blocks with they guns blowin')
(Somebody's gonna die tonight)
Still no one's knowin' so they kept goin'
Catchin' dealers comin' out they cars
(Will they survive? Two semi-automatic 9's)
(them niggas died)
(Plus nobody in the hood cries)
(It's like they celebrate to death
And wish they could die)
So peep the lesson, but wait a minute
Back to Precious
She's snortin' dope in the back
Seat of Trigg's Lexus
Teardrops and closed caskets

Will I!, forever be!, alone!?
(Teardrops and closed caskets)
(Teardrops and closed caskets)
Will I!, forever be!, alone!?
(Teardrops and closed caskets)

(Don't let these ghetto streets get you
Precious)
(was the victim, from a dime to a nickel)
Hopin God's blessings stick with ya
Picture the neighborhood kingpin
Who's gettin' bigger
Familiar face, but a man now
It's Lil' Trigga
Now Lil' Mo was a soldier to the fullest
Down for his homies
Always the first to spit bullets
(All he wanted was to be a thug)
Never pictured his truest homeboy
Would fall in love (Here's where it gets ya)
Now Precious is pregnant
Lil' Trigga is happy
He wants to marry her now
(not knowin' he ain't the daddy)
But Precious was lonely
While Lil' Trigga was makin' dough
She's slippin' in secret places and
Gettin' with Lil' Mo
The neighborhood's buzzin'
Now people are talkin'
Lil' Trigga's gettin' pictures of the
Both of 'em walkin'
(Hand in hand, couldn't understand)
How his baby's mama could
Disappear with another man
(and his best friend)
Now jealousy's dangerous
And if you don't believe me
Then watch the way that this story
Ends and maybe you'll see
There ain't no heroes or villains
Ain't no pleasure in killin'
Just the smoke from the cap peelin'
A man with no feelings
Teardrops and closed caskets

Will I!, forever be!, alone!?
(Teardrops and closed caskets)
(Bury you dead and look ahead)
(a man with no feelings)
(Teardrops and closed caskets)
Will I!, forever be!, alone!?
(Teardrops and closed caskets)

Now with the problems of poverty and
The tricks to these tales
How many people'll die? How
Many'll live to tell?
Although best friends before
Lil' Trigga and Mo they in an all out war
Over a fiend they ain't know
Behind the curtains their privacy lust
Is already laid down
The results is the same with different
Names and it turns out

Y'all know how it is
Same old thing in the same old town
Lil' Trigg got his nose wide
Open on this one trick now he's played out

Think it's Lil' Mo
(was plottin' plans on gettin' bigger)
(Precious was his way to put
His hands on Lil' Trigga)
All the while let's look at Precious
Too dumb to see what's goin' down
(too doped up to ask questions)
Used to be comrades
(but now we blast on sight)
What could be so bad?
(God, will we last tonight?)
From misdemeanors to felonies
Small-time to sellin' ki's
I can't believe the shit they tellin' me
They opened fire, three bodies dropped
So call the cops
(Precious, Lil' Mo and Trigg) –
Teardrops and closed caskets

Will I!, forever be!, alone!?
(Teardrops and closed caskets)
Will I!, forever be!, alone!?
(Teardrops and closed caskets)
Will I!, forever be!, alone!?
Will I!, forever be!, alone!?
(Teardrops and closed caskets)
Will I!, forever be!, alone!?
Will I!, forever be!, alone!?

Aye, QDI I I in this motherfucker
We dedicate this to all the fallen comrades
(that's right)
All the homies that didn't make
It to see this day (rest in peace)
Yaknahmean? I know it's hard out there, heheh
With teardrops and closed caskets
It's like that's all we got to
Look forward to these days
Murders, brothers dyin', funerals
Shit, it's like I done ran out of suit's
Homie i done ran out of tears
Know we gon' have to do something y'all
We gon' have to do something
'Cause I know all these mothers is
Tired of seeing the same thing
(rest in peace)
I send this out to Mutulu and Geronimo
And to all the fallen comrades
All the soldiers
(to the homie Boonie, rest in peace, nigga)
All the homies that fell, all the homies
May God bless your families
May you always live in
The motherfuckin' heart
In a thug nigga's heart forever
(that's right) rest in peace, nigga
May your enemies be deceased
Dead on the streets
We can't have peace 'til the
Niggas get a piece
