Layzie Bone - For the Thugs That's Gone lyrics

Deuce double oh-tre layzie Bone
Representin for all my fallen soldiers

I keep my, feet on the concrete
And I ride for the cause
That's why this opportunity
Still knockin like i would in my balls
Forever the, hood in me dawg
And yeah the law is still trailin
Been some time since I been drug sellin
They labeled me a thug felon
And at least they think so
See me rollin in my Benzo drivin
I90 East on the freeway
Po-po and they wanna stop me
They see me leave the projects
Pick up suspicious objects
My cousin Skano had that sticky green
So I went to cop it
They always fuckin with me
Just got a Denali truck
They hate that I'm it
With the windows tinted, finna roll this up
And I know they hate to see me
They smell the leather on me
As soon as they ask me for license
I'm quick to flash it on 'em
And sure done rollin 'em proper
Cause dawg I learned my lesson
Big Wally told me to get legit
So I can roll with weapons
And I pray the Lord he bless 'em
I pray he RIP forever I'm holdin down your
Legacy in these streets

So we pour this liquor out
For the thugs that's gone
For the thugs that's gone
And if you feelin what we talkin about
Then you know we mourn, and you know it's on
Even though they all gone home
You know life goes on, and it won't be long
'til we see each other again
It goes on and on on, and on and on on

We wanted the money and the power
Remember how quick it all came?
Little hustlers gettin it, makin that dough
Already we thick in the game
We thought we as slick as they came
A little bit sick and deranged
Doin thangs, did not seem strange
I can't explain but we had to bang
And your name we keep it poppin
Them polished pimpin playas
Represent from everywhere
My niggas from the Clair
We keep on movin, movin
If I happen to be who next
Just keep on movin, movin
Makin these niggas give respect
Cause, I'm that worldwide baller now
And everywhere I go
I keep my heat right by my side
In case y'all ain't know
We wouldn't do shit to start some drama
Man we riders for real
Layin our freedom on the line
Tryin to provide us a meal
And I'm makin mil's, sellin
Mil's off record deals, still in the hood
Nigga Troy, Hollywood, Little Boo
It's all good we love y'all and miss y'all
Tombstone from Mo Thug
You my dawg, and sho' enough
And you know when I show love (that's right)

This life is tricky, ain't
It? Pictures painted, tainted and distorted
It's like these memories all I have
So I report it and record it
Remember that baby she was gorgeous
Not a flaw in the world
But she left us and went
To Heaven, oh precious
That beautiful little girl
See we can take it for granted
Cause it ain't promised
Never know just how this life is gon' be
Better take advantage as much
As you can manage
Cause if you damage it this is all
It's gon' be - trust me
Too many celebrities perish
These people we love and cherish
And I had a chance to met Aaliyah
But, I was too embarrassed
And I should've took that chance
I heard that from a man
Jam Master Jay was so real
Y'all niggas don't understand
He told me to handle my busniess
Make sure I pay my taxes
A little advice from a legend
To keep my paper stackin
And I gotta give props to Eazy
That nigga put me on
If he didn't believe in the Thugs
Y'all wouldn't have heard of Bone
